I like Tony Blauer's high gear armor. It is really effective for what it does. It will allow you to train very realistically and get less banged up. What it does not do is allow you to go full contact full force like the Predator Armour. You simply cannot take the same level of shots to your groin, body and head neck area. That is where the Predator Armour is the best I have seen. When I was last in the Predator Armour my oldest son wanted to see what it would be like if he hit me full force with a palm heel strike. I did not feel a thing. So from a full force striking aspect the Predator Armour is great. Particularly in Scenario Based Training. You can utilize verbal and visual cues to really get the student/practitioner adrenalized and then they can react just like you trained them to do. It is pretty cool!
