As an aside, gear is great, but it is still a mask.
we train. when we fight, we fight. training stops and fighting begins.
With weapons there are many drills, but everyone who actually knows anything about handling weapons will use dummys for development fo full force striking, drills to teach the relationship of space and timing and sparring is fun, but a limited activity of value with weapons training.
Do people spar with guns? No, the paintball or airsoft.
Do people spar with swords? No, they fence.
Do people spar with staffs? Yes, but either with modified staff or a lot of armour.
No armour cuts your training time down immensely.
@ YKW yes I am familiar with attack/defend staff drills. they are good!
