The sticks that were used at the tourney were not rattan and were rather soft and I just wanted to punch him in the face and those masks are really strong even a rattan isn't going to do much of anything.
yeah but which can do more damage? Or for that matter which can do less damage to you? You hitting the cage w/a stick or your fist?
Either way, i think that although this match was interesting and definitely different from the current WEKAF style of fighting. I think the gear is to much focused on WEKAF style of competition and does not take into account punches to the face.
i agree but you can use the stick for close range fighting as well i just think it's a far more effective weapon than a gloved up fist against a cage

Why not do both and work all ranges if possible?
