Is this product soft enough to strike with bare hands and feet?

You should only be kicking or hitting these with bare feet and hands, you can punch with gloves, but Yes it is soft enough. However on the sides there is air vents that are metal, so if your toes happen to kick it, ouch! but only for a second or toe of stinging. But this just depends on how you kick.

Yes - gave it to grandchildren whose dad is teaching them some martial arts. They have used it some, and it is soft enough to hit with bare hands and feet.

You can punch this with only handwraps. Quite soft. You could potentially scuff your knuckles but doubtful. No way you can bruise them though.

not alarmingly so. just enough to warm up cold hands when you put them on it. :)

The padding is almost like a hard tempur-pedic material, if you want to rest your arms on a hard surface these will do just fine. But they won't be sufficient for hard impact on hard floors.

It is soft but not as soft as down since it is a down alternative. Probably would not work for what you are seeking.

Yes and the surface is not at all hard so it would not hurt a little one who was inclined to hit it with their hands.

Yes, your feet should be bare but you can wear cotton socks. It does decrease the contact somewhat, but it's better than no grounding at all. You can also sit on the mat or place the mat on your desk where you rest your arms or wrists. I don't know whether it would effect your computer if you put the mat under it, so it would be easier to put your wrists or arms on. I don't think so. Did you read the book, Earthing? It gives a lot of info.

Yes, it bounces but with some effort. I bought it to exercise my hands & feet.

The whole body is a little to much I think for this unit. I did use it on my elbows and arms. I didn't use it on my feet because the brush is too soft and the spong is too soft. The gritting one I did use on my arms where the skin gets bumps and it didn't hurt my skin.

Not really. It will of course stiffen your muscles a bit when starting out but it doesn't affect hand and finger movement at all.

Under EXTREMELY controlled circumstances. If you plan on doing more than a light toss or touch kills then no this WILL injure someone.

The directions do not indicate if it needs to be against bare skin. It does mention the most effective areas are the shoulders, hips, thighs, buttocks and below rib cage. It also has a small flashlight on one end. The noise alone is pretty effective. I fortunately have not had to use it on a person.

I use it at work under my desk, so I haven't tried it with bare feet. I think it would be though... there are little nubs all over the top which look they would be relaxing like a little foot massage.

Yes but its not soft in the least. Its super hard and put my toes to sleep. I cant use it.

Yes by how hard you toss it down. I use it to roll under my feet to massage my feet.

No. I put two on a toy box I made and it does soften it but it will smash fingers.

No not at all. It is textured, but not harsh. I can step on it barefoot without concern.
