i recently went to the German Open in Hamburg, Germany with the AAU National Team, and i came back so disappointed. instead of having regular chest protectors and corner judges, they had ELECTRONIC HOGUS! e-hogus are hogus that has sensors in the pad, and the power meter is set differently for each division. you may like the e-hogus before u fight but you will end up hating it because its not that easy to score a point with your fighting style. everyone had to change their game, to a punch (yes u get a point for a punch) and cut kick game basically. you can still receive points for other kicks but it is difficult. the head kicks were determined by 2 corner judges, and they didnt score that well. im just hoping the e-hogus wont last...

"Fail To Plan, then Plan To Fail..." man, i love that!

i didn't know that about them, i thought they seemed like a good idea.  i still think they're cool and that you can adjust the power meter.  i don't think i'll ever have the opportunity to use one, but good to know
