- A stooped posture can be experienced by wearing the back protector.
- Loss of peripheral vision and changes in visual function due to cataracts can be experienced by wearing the goggles.
- Reduction in the reception of high frequency sounds can be experienced by wearing the ear plugs.

Elbow and Knee restrictors, Minor Change
We adopt an “ABS plate” for the elbow and knee restrictor in consideration of the safety of trainees. The “ABS plate” may be damaged or broken by excessive force, but the plate may prevent trainees from being hurt when falling over. This “ABS plate” is exchangeable, and the Velcro tape method enables everyone to exchange plates easily.
