I have a chronic knee and a low back injury, so I'm worried I would end up hurting all the time. Most boffer/foam fights let you use lighter weight armor.

Amtgard lets you go without armor entirely if you don't want to use it, since it's not necessary for protection, but if you want six points of armor, you're still going to be wearing heavy metal equipment, and aluminum doesn't count (it carries penalties).
