To wit, the insistence that no hard hitter would find a Redman of value in training. It definitely is of little value if we are going to spar and whack each other, possibly with knockout power. Yet if we are open minded and think about other usages, I think it's a great tool, even if the participants have top power strikes.
Then you two have different opinions on the Redman. Personally, I never used one and would like to try one day. Then I can have an opinion on it too.
