| #5 Funny, already found that a while back while browsing for knives to buy; real expensive IIRC, theses are tailor-made for professional users, like the Red man suits, mostly as counter-knives tactics I'd say. For filipinos knife-fighters and others, rubber, wood and chalk are quite enough IMHO. As for olympics fencers, get them to use live blades, and they'll get real attentive on not to be hit. Plus, the red will do a nice contrast with the white of their suit. Aesthetics are important. Beats UFC every time. |

| #4 I think they ought to change olympic sabre fencing so that the armor contains small stun guns. If a plate is hit, you get a shock to that body part, numbing the heck out of it. A killing hit and you would be laid out. But the best part would be to also run a high-voltage current through the blades themselves, to make two blades give off big showers of sparks when they hit each other. |

| #1 Also gets them past the fear of being cut, so that they can effectively prevent just that from happening in a real encounter. A variant on live fire exercises. |
