Safety is how you practice it!

When practicing self-defence we are preparing for the real thing. Training with force, speed and stress is the closest you can get to reality, but even here there are different levels of realism. Sparring without safety equipment will condition you to hold back on punches and kicks, and giving your opponent unrealistic contra movements. This will give you the wrong idea to what can happen in a physical confrontation.

Nobody wants to practice and get hurt and have to wait 3 - 6months before they start over again, so safety equipment is a must. By using safety equipment you have possibility to pull it to the max, but more importantly that your opponent can and will move realistically when hit. Hitting the opponent with speed and force will move the body in a certain way, and you will see that some targets will present themselves and while others don't. The security equipment ensures natural movement and adds realism to your training.

At Street-Sence we use the most modern and up to date equipment like HIGH GEAR™, No Lie Blades or the Reality Based Impact Head.
