Cheers, do you have any heimricks (what we use) in your group? |
Not sure but I don't think so.

Looking at the review the hardness of the blade would seem to make these durable but at 4.5 pounds they seem overweight and if not using a great deal of control might be hazardous without a lot of protective gear.
We train in a no touch ( Very light touch tolerated when accidental during bouting and well controlled ) system with onlu gloves and fencing masks, but we emphasize control a great deal and have a perfect record of no serious accidents. ( Even minor accidents are rare and at most a light bruise ).
