Dijita Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 I don't like them.But I like to be safe.I use them when I spare...but it is very good women to develope blocking skills as well. I agree that too much dependance on a chest protector makes you not put enough importance on blocking skills. The design of the chest protector my daughter uses leaves her stomach open, so she definately has an incentive to block to stop something from knocking the wind out of her. As I mentioned her breasts are developing and protecting them while they are at this very sensitive stage is important. Kyoshi (head sensai at our dojo) mentioned for girls at this age if they do not get this style of protector they tend to over protect their breasts and this is not good either. Is there a link to the one that your daughter uses?

I do not see the exact model online but it is like this one http://www.amas.net/item.cfm?RecordId=1482 The protection underneath is like this one http://www.amas.net/item.cfm?RecordId=148 but it fits into the sports bra. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate
