Armor All
by Danny McLarty
What can put the kibosh on your “Adriiian!” moment? Injuries. The following safety gear could save your tail.
Everlast Headgear
Plain and simple: If you’re a boxer or spar just to stay in shape, this piece of equipment is essential.
Heavy Bag Gloves
Want to de-stress and get a great cardio workout? Wail into a heavy bag…but not without a good set of gloves. The point is to prevent injury—not ask for it.
Mouth Guard
Every fighter needs a grill guard, unless you’re into that missing-tooth-tough-guy look.
Patella Knee Brace
The grappling and scrambling and knee strikes you do in MMA can take their toll. If you have knee problems, wear a brace for safe keeping.
Shin Guards
Nothing hurts (well, almost nothing) like a kick to the shins. Keep those puppies protected at all costs. Fortunately, these shin guards are reasonably priced.
