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.

Cheers mate, I'd apreciate any info.

Its IKO1, and its the 34th All Japan tournament from 2001.
