but a giant leap for jjj
I’ve seen those used for kids tournaments but never for seniors.
Starchaser107, is that a JJJ tournament or something? Could you give more info on that?
no i dunno sorry
just a shot in the dark here.
..with all that grappling looking stuff going on there…
sorry 
LOL
One of our adult students has that headgear. The plastic front steams up and she can’t see. She also has a hard time breathing through the fog.
I don’t recommend them.

It is a sort of NHB karate tournament, go here for rules and videos:
they look good!
anything that lets you go full contact or close to the head gets my vote
At the school I train at we use a similar type of head gear. Only it has a face cage like on a linebackers helmet. You can go full contact and not get a broken nose or smashed face. But you will still feel the impact to your head so you better be using defensive skills to keep your head attached. This type of gear allows realism with safety.
