Restrictors for Elbows and Knees, Minor Change
We adopt an “ABS plate” for the restrictors for elbows and knees 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 hook and loop fasteners method enables everyone to exchange plates easily.
