Folks out there- if there's budget, please consider steel swords over aluminum. Every Aluminum trainer I've ever touched has next to zero flex (so you basically can't train thrusts), a steel mask will. literally shave off pieces when you hit it, and it's way less durable. A messer trainer from purrpleheart armory wll be the right size and weight to do most FMA systems, has realistic bind presence, and won't turn into a saw after 10 rounds of sparring.

Won't that require them to also get some kind of fencing jacket?

[@selfcritical]

Not any more than training with rattan, and less so than aluminum (which is stiffer and more likely to have chainsaw-level burrs). If you're training thrusts to the body I might get a chest protector/plastron. I train outdoors in texas so I don't use the jacket like....8 months of the year@@chaos_omega
