Has anyone any experience of using one in work (door work)?.
The guys I work the door with was stabbed on Thursday night, its getting to be a pretty regular thing here over the last 5 years with a huge influx of East European nationals seeking refuge here. The guy who stabbed him was Romanian, they have a reputation for carrying blades.
So has anyone any experience of fighting in one?.
my mma trainer is romanian and he's one crazy sob. i know he used to bounce at clubs where he had to fight guys with blades, so i'll ask him.
I'd appricate that. Just don't send him over here, we've enough of 'em :lol:Quote:

I've fought with a BP vest on and it was perfectly comfortable, but the coverage on it sucked, just front and back plates with my sides exposed. To be perfectly honest with you, the most protection i ever got was with my Alpha Flight jacket on and two sweatshirts under it. I got jabbed maybe 5 times, ripped my clothes to pieces and only one made it in half way into my gut. I think i had an angel on my shoulder that night though.
You cant beat Alpha flightjackets! I got a nice 3/4 length. Well I guess thats not a flight jacket, but Alpha none the less.
Can't beat them for what?.Quote:

TThey stop a shank like you wouldn't believe.
That is so true, bro.Quote:

Point Blank let me wear a demo stab vest, very flexible.
I would say it was 5-10% movement restriction tops. The heat is the thing that will get you everytime!

i think it's the same as the ones that cops wear.
yeah ive scrapped guys wearing the vest (working the door)
its really not that restrictive at all,
Ive stopped wearing is subsequently and left it at the club only for when i expect trouble, the reasons for this were when I would hug girls or get patted on the back by guys, they would notice and i think subconciously elevate awareness and make the be a bit scarred (not of me, of the fact they think i *have* to wear a vest)
as far as fighting, the only think i noticed is that when i choke people out, i cant feel their back to my chest/stomach
