If Jhoon Rhee did not witness the kick in the face to Pat Worley, I don't think he would have developed the "safety" equipment. GM Rhee was very enterprising. He probably had patents on it and the manufacturing rights and got a lot of money because those paddings, even for children, are expensive; not to mention giving a false sense of security.

"In the old days we trained at karate as a martial art, but now they train as a gymnastic sport. I think we must avoid treating karate as a sport or as a mere physical exercise -- it must be a martial art at all times! During practice, one should forget everything and gather one's spiritual energy together so that the head, eyes, hands and feet become united. Your fingers and the tips of your toes must be like arrows; your arms must be like iron. The fingers and toes should become like spears so that a single kick or a single punch can kill. This is the spirit you need in order to progress in your training. To achieve this goal takes long, constant and careful practice; overdoing things will only result in harm. With age the body gets stronger, but on reaching the 50s and 60s, one must slow down; then a different kind of strength develops." Chibana Sensei Shorin Ryu
