Never tried it but it give you my opinion anyway. Since the vest is basically a shield sewn to a shirt, I wonder how well it would fit. My weight has gone up and down as much as 60 pounds before, so I would need something more adjustable than a "shirt". If I gain weight, it would be too tight. And if it does stretch to fit me, then I lose weight, it will be too loose. That's my only problem with the vest. The shin and forearm guards look like they would be great protection.

Paranoia is not a fault. It is clarity of the world around us.

While I have not worn the century martial armor, I own two of them. I bought them for my sons who were participating in tournaments. They liked them because they were not as bulky as the chest protectors supplied by the tournament folks. They fit well and have a lycra mess-like material on both sides that is flexible when you move (and grow). The protective foam is not thick and will not protect you well from a hard punch or kick. But, if where you spar/tournament fight only allows light to moderate contact, then this would offer decent protection. My sons liked them and it provided some protection, so it was worth it for me. Hope that helps.

I like the looks of the Martial Armor but I don't think the chest guard would be very good but I want to buy the forearm guards and maybe shin guards.

I have ninja monkies in my brain and they are using it as a trampaline.
