People ask me what they should by to have a “live” experience when training in combatives. Over time there are various pieces of equipment you should purchase.
Here is the list with recommended vendors:
HeadgearÂ
Eye protection
Mouth Guard
Neck Guard
Sparring Gloves
Forearm guards
Elbow Pads
Groin Protection (Men)
Groin Protection (Women)
Knee Pads
Shin & Instep Guards
I hope this helps you in your training pursuits.
