How difficult would it be to make this kind of rubber coated foam sparring protection?
Id like to make custom padding but i dont know were to begin.
You're going to need to learn to make the shapes you need, make molds, and pour some self skinning foam

Headgear doesn't protect your brain at all, and it blocks your peripheral vision so you end up getting hit more often. Useless at best, snake oil at worst. Just keep your hands up.

That did not answer the question.

Your question do not solve any problem

If someone asks how to do something stupid, do you tell him? Of course not, you say "don't do that".

>make custom padding
get a lawyer, satan. You'll need a few to sell anything claiming to protect from something.

Im no sparrer, but physics wise it makes sense. Your brain gets fucked up from sudden jolts, by using a material that absorbs some of the energy as well as increasing the surface area of the impact you reduce the force on one part of the head.

That's the idea, but turns out it doesn't work that way. Brain damage is more about shot placement than raw impact, so if you reduce the force by 10% via padding the result is ultimately negligable. Now factor in that headgear reduces your range of vision, resulting in you getting hit more often, and it becomes a net negative if your goal is not getting fucked up. Of the three times I've been dropped in sparring, two were when I was wearing headgear and got caught behind the ear by a shot that I couldn't see.

>two inches of foam padding isn't any better than bone on bone impact
sure
Christ, i dont want to make head gear, i want to make body pads.
This isn't exactly what i want to make but i was inspired after seeing that this character wore padding made from the same kind of padding head gear is made of.
Cut foam to shape. Paint on latex.

Im guessing what they use is impact foam.Create some sort of cover for it and you should be set

is this like a fetish thing?
>>1170180
Probably.
