Helmet safety and steel fighting!

We are working on designing and building a rig to test the effectiveness of various foams, how material and hardness effect force transfer, and whatever else we can think to use it for. Research studies done for football and motorcycle helmets arent a perfect representation of our sport but we can learn from their methodology and test equipment.

Here's where the community comes in: We would like to make the data as directly relevant as possible. So please fill this quick survey out and share this with your fighter friends so we can get more safety information into our sport.

We love the inky look you get on polished blackened armor. It's like staring into the abyss.

Happy Thanksgiving! Be safe and don't eat too much (you might not fit your armor if you do!)
