these are extra padded actionflex staffs. The parries have to be done closer to the hand, so it is actually harder to do a correct defense, and to keep your hand safe. The interaction changes alot of course, and this is not a perfect solution, but it does allow to do the blocks and counter attacks, with only bruises instead of broken heads as with harder material.
How do you find those longstick simulators? They look very... floppy. How do they interact during contact (e.g. parries) compared to wooden sticks?
