A padded training rokushaku-bo is a good idea
A gift from my training partner last night, and proof that padded training weapons are a good idea for some types of waza:
That's from the end of a 6-foot hickory pole, received during a sword evasion drill (sword in my hand, bo in his.) I was fortunate: my training partner had enough sensitivity to have placed the tip of the hickory right down across that eyelid into the left zygomatic arch. Pretty cool, actually.

Ahh...now I've connected the Russell from the buyu group to this site. I know who you are! Looking forward to training with you on the weekend. That eye will probably still be looking nasty tomorrow. Neat site...I will have to view it's entire contents soon one night.

I lucked upon some shirts which have a tab which fits this type of headset very nicely, so that's the way I usually wear the thing. Makes it easier to access it when I'm driving.
