Until a few years ago, my karate school used no body gear, although it did use gear for the appendages. When it was decided to start doing semi-full contact sparring, body gear became a requirement. For sparring that is only semi-full contact, I am not sure is gear is needed for more advanced students. It is encumbersome, and I have only known two accidents to have happened without them, one of them to me. And I am fine. And I am fine. Opinions?
