I've seen examples of all these training flaws in all the various martial arts i've encountered over the years.<br />As sports technology advances the possibility of "safe" weapons and effective protection will further increase - thus allowing for more realistic interpretations of technique. Of course you are right about scholars being braver with no risk of injury associated with failure. <br />Perhaps one answer lies in the grey area... Enough protection to avoid "injury" but little enough so there's still pain. As my brother (aikido shodan) says: <br />"I said it wouldn't injure you, I never said it wouldn't hurt.
