    Mouthgards and protective gear

    wanted to ask others opinions on this, esp MMA or full contact fighters. I use a cheap mouthguard boil adn bite and it sux. so I asked one of my MMA students and he told me about fightdentist makes them for 175.00 and I almost ****e. what do you use and have you heard of this guy? sounds like he trying to get rich.

    also Gene or others do you guys sell abrasion shirts? or whom does sell the best ones, my elbows are red as tomatoes being on the mat 5 night s a week.

    Most of my guys get a brain pad to train in. They're about $8 at Walmart. For most training, I think they are adequate.

    If you want to fight, I'd suggest getting a better (more expensive) one, though.

    I train in and have fought with this mouth guard:

    I custom made mouth piece can be expensive but is your best bet.

    If you want a good, cheap compression shirt or rash guard go to Wal Mart and buy the Under Armour knock offs for about 12 bucks.

    most dentists can make custom mouthguards for sports. They're not cheap, but they're not as expensive as that fightdentist. In my area, high school athletes can sometimes get them for free or as little as $25 (sadly, adults pay more... around $75). They're better than off the shelf because they fit you better meaning you'll have an easier time breathing and they're more comfortable.

    Not to undercut Gene... but, you should check with your school's t-shirt / uniform supplier... we can get full rash guard shirts with our logo in bulk for about $15 per shirt. We then retail them at $25 in the club. It's a good sideline for your school - rash guards and hoodies... big sellers you know.

    I have too nice a smile to buy a boil and bite LOl but i thought 175 was crazy. I will keep looking and let you guys know if I find custom made ones cheaper.

    Iron, I even looked at ****s for Under armor rash shirts and they said UA dosnet make them, so what is the knock offs made of? I was looking for nylon adn spandex.

    I saw nice ones on line but i hate not being able to try it on.

    The Walmart brand is called Athletic Works, I think. It works just fine.
