Interesting developments in armour technology.
I think it won't be long before we have compression suit type armour that is light, thin and flexible, but able to harden or dissipate force when struck.
Will be a leap forward for competition safety and evolution of technique for contact sparring.
Non-newtonian materials FTW
www.facebook.com/share/p/15w73eyjys/Scientists have just created a real-life superhero material, and it’s called Proteus.
This ultra-light, ultra-thin armour can actually stop bullets and drills in their tracks. It hardens instantly on impact, similar to how diamonds resist pressure. Inspired by nature’s own defense systems like grapefruit peels and abalone shells, Proteus is built from tiny ceramic spheres embedded in a flexible aluminum structure.
When hit, these ceramic particles vibrate rapidly, dispersing energy and making it almost impossible to pierce. Developed by researchers at the University of Surrey and the Leibniz Institute, this futuristic fabric belongs to a class of non-Newtonian materials, which change properties under sudden force.
Picture body armor that’s lighter than ever yet tough enough to laugh in the face of a bullet. Beyond the battlefield, Proteus could protect vehicles, safes, and even buildings.

I wrote a short blog post on my trip to Kukkiwon in Seoul recently for my 6/7 Dan test.
Blog is a bit clunky, I'm just learning to use it, sorry!
