                                                                            MMA Protective Equipment                                 

When most friends choose protective equipment, the general configuration is as follows: head cover, hand protection (fist cover/bandage), leg protection (ankle/knee protection), and combat pants; That's all for general combat gear, and more professional ones include helmets, armor, crotch protectors, braces, and so on; There are also some targeted lower body anti slip measures.

The purpose of combat protective gear is to effectively resist collision force and cushion shock absorption. Some beginners should not think that wearing it is invincible! Below is an explanation of the role and misconceptions of mainstream protective equipment:

1. Head protection

Many people think that wearing a headguard can make the head invincible, but in fact, as a member of combat equipment, headguards can only prevent scratches, and shock injuries cannot be prevented. After all, this is not a motorcycle helmet, and wearing a headguard makes the head and headguard an integral part. In other words, if you wear a headguard and make boxing champion Tyson punch, you can still be knocked down by KO.

2. Boxing gloves

Many people think that wearing a boxing glove in combat gear is to protect your opponent, but in fact, if you don't wear boxing gloves in a competition, there is a certain chance that defending your opponent's fist or leg movements will cause your hand to be injured. In terms of attack power, boxing gloves do not weaken most of the attack power. Sometimes, they can make many boxers fight more smoothly than not wearing gloves. Amateur gloves have thicker padding in the bones, so they still have a little protective effect on the opponent.

3. Toothguard

Many people believe that teeth protectors in combat gear can protect teeth from being injured. In fact, wearing teeth protectors is not only to protect teeth from being injured, but also to avoid being knocked out by opponents. The biggest use of teeth protectors is to prevent you from biting your tongue.

4. Crotch protection

Don't think that wearing a crotch protector won't hurt your partner no matter how hard they are hit. You should know that your partner's pain nerves are quite dense. Sometimes when you accidentally hit something, it can also cause spasms and pain, let alone wearing a crotch protector. The biggest function of protecting the crotch is that if you don't wear it, it will be scrapped if kicked; Wearing it, being kicked will only cause pain.

5. Chest protection

The chest guard can be said to be the most awesome one of all fighting protectors, because it is like a bulletproof vest. The filler can absorb and resist most of the attack power, thus protecting your ribs and abdomen. However, the flaw of the bulletproof vest is that it can not completely absorb the impact of bullets. Many people wear a bulletproof vest and their ribs are shocked, not to mention that you will be injured if you wear a chest guard and are asked to sweep and kick.
