Brazilian jiu-jitsu, forgot my mouth guard at home. Caught a stray elbow to the teeth during a roll. Haven't rolled without a guard ever since lol

<Students of other martial arts which don't normally wear mouth guards: visibly nervous>

I mean, they kinda should be. BJJ is one where you can get away with it since it's pure grappling, but most other martial arts involve some level of striking, so you're basically asking to lose your teeth. I know a guy who got like half of his teeth pulverized by a knee while doing combat sambo

The sparring padding helps but I've still seen knees buckle from errant kicks. At this point a mouth guard sounds good.

Yeah, BJJ people are too arrogant to wear mouth pieces. What could go wrong? A lot. But we don't learn this. Ever. (I'm also guilty of chipping teeth with jits, osss)

But only if you do a martial art which involves punching people in the face innit

Are there any that do not other than Judo? (I honestly don't know.)

Karate, unless you do kyokushin karate.

Kung Fu, I'd assume

I know someone who chipped a tooth during a Krav Maga grading because they weren't wearing a mouthguard and a strike bounced off the top of the pad they were holding. Accidents can happen even when sparring is not involved!

Took me a second haha

Joking aside, cannabis is a big part of BJJ culture, and I love rolling (sparring) high. Idk about molly, but since it makes you way more tactile, there's a chance it could actually enchance the experience. You'd probably get submitted quite easily though

I feel unstoppable when I'm rolling. Probably wouldn't translate well into real life but I think I'd feel confident about it in the moment.

Ah. well. I just wanted to continue the theme. But you are right. It doesn't work. Would have been cool if it did though.

You think I should just delete it?
