Has anyone here considered full protection suits ala Blauer, FIST, et al. ? I mean sparring at different levels is good. However, what about realistic, street fighting and survival situations where you do not worry about whether a certain move will have point deductions. Just curious if anyone has trained under this modality ? And, if it helps in training for realistic fights or sudden unexpected events. I have reviewed the Blauer tapes, the Vee Arnis Jitsu tapes (out of NYC), and related info. Seems to place you in the environment you may actually experience. Where adrenalin and fear influence your muscle and body mechanics. In contrast, if training for competition or point sparring I agree that equal ranks should be matched up or at the least a higher ranking person should exercise a modicum of control.
