Looking for old helmets

[golden chicken]

Hey everybody,

I'm looking for any medium or large used full face helmets that people are tossing. I'll be using them for kung fu practice, not riding, so they can even be rashed. Don't worry, they will be modified so it'll be obvious you shouldn't ride with them.

Thanks in advance.

If you gonna fuck Em up anyways why does the size matters? (That's what she said)

I have a couple crap helmets you can have. Southeast mass.

It sort of defeats the purpose of protecting your face if the helmet is too loose

[tsorfas]

So you gonna wear a helmet and somebody is gonna hit you ?

[golden chicken]

Yup--well the idea is to defend yourself so you don't get hit...

[tsorfas]

That's pretty awesome

Can we watch this event? Motorcycle helmet is pretty painful to strike with a fist/foot/body part....

We'll be using mma gloves.

Don't they make boxing helmets?

I'm curious how you are going to use them too... I've always used the boxing helmets or the specific sparring gear, I really would hate to hit a helmet.... certainly could break lots of small bones in hand or foot.

this is a rhetorical question right?

[golden chicken]

Still curious how sparring with motorcycle helmets is anywhere near a good idea. Is this common practice, or something that has been done before successfully? You hit a heavy bag with mma gloves the right way and that can be painful. I can't even imagine catching a helmet with a solid hit

[golden chicken]

I've seen it successfully used before from bare knuckles all the way up to full 16oz gloves and beyond to wooden and metal weapons. I doubt any helmet is any harder than someone's forehead.

There are thousands of helmetless motorcycle fatality statistics that would strongly disagree with you

A helmet's job is to slow down the transfer of energy to the brain. Something very hard (like your skull) doesn't do that job. A helmet is the energy absorbing difference that saves lives.

Using MMA gloves allows the option of an open hand strike as well, which is safer for the attacker's hand than punching.

And finally, we'll be friendly sparring, not all-out wailing on each other, so some measure of control will be encouraged.
