At the start of the videowhere they're training they use a full body shield, I've seen them before in training videos. Anyone know where I can get one? The only on I could find is here:

And I don't really trust it quality wise.

We have a couple at my dojo. They look just like the ones in the vid.

VERY stiff, almost feels like they won't fit to your body (until your partner straps you in) so it can't be just dense foam... They're solid when hitting them too. Feels like hitting a makiwara except you have a person behind it instead of the board. Bruised my knuckles punching one more often than I have hitting a makiwara, now that I think about it.

They were "gifts" from a former student. I'll ask around and see what I can find.
