"So, you think you can you stop me!"

So we gave it a try. I could usually get a couple of shots in before he could close and get me with his trainer. Being pretty muscular, he felt he could survive a couple of shots, but I would not survive his blade attacks.
Well, my group on the other hand, really works on training explosive "short-power" hits. I'm pretty sure that I could stop him...if I could land a good hard shot or two. But how can you test it? We spar with gear, but that's not at all the same. The only way to stop a rush like that for real is to break his freakin' skull.
So hear's the question. How, short of us actually trying to kill each other, do I know if I can stop him?
