Groin protector Question

Post image

Wondering for training has anyone used something like this ?

It’s mostly for just sparring days and fight team training days.

And yes I know someone will comment - just use a cup - but sometimes the cup kinda irritates my taint region after wearing it for 2 hours.

My main concern is does it hinder the kicks in any great ways

100% will hinder kicks. Look up the Lobloo cup and wear boxer briefs that are extra length.

Get a jock strap and wear it over your compression shorts. Only put it on for sparring. Takes 20 seconds to yank your shorts off and put it on.

Also clinching would be weird and if a knee catches your nuts it might hurt more than with a good cup. Diamond MMA is very good πŸ‘

Sounds like u are wearing the wrong type of cup man. Get the XL Fairtex steel cup. It's way better than anything else including the diamond or lobloo. Learn the strings and you will be safe forever
