What is appropriate to wear for hard contact sparring?
I was in karate for a few years & did light contact sparring, but that didn’t do anything for me. since then I’ve mostly practiced non-striking moves in tapout wrestling, or submissions wrestling or whatever you wanna call it, with a few of my friends & my girlfriend and built up my reflexes pretty good so the other day I just told a friend of mine who I was throwing around like a rag doll in wrestling to try & hit me, I wouldn’t do anything but block & dodge. So after a little while he landed a hit… right on my collar bone… & I decided that it was probably best to wear protective gear. Getting hit in the collar bone bear knuckle hurts alot more than i thoguht it would. so anyways, what’s good for wearing in hard-contact sparring that wouldn’t impare moving around & grappling/striking too bad but would help pretty good for not getting hurt. I’m thinkin something more than they use in MMA fighting… good stuff to guard your head & kneck, shin guards, etc. tanks in advanced!
a mouth piece definetly!
wrap your hands!
and if your throwing kicks wrap your ankles down to your foot!
helmet for head blows and kicks to the head!
thats pretty much it!
