Although we have a large stock of gloves etc... that you can borrow during class, it is important that you buy your own kit. Below is a list of essential items.

4oz MMA gloves Fairtex/Twins/Sandee/Evolution or similar (it is important to buy good quality grappling gloves so the velcro doesn't scratch your partner) Both Vitamins & Minerals and Everlast do vegetarian gloves.

14 or 16oz gloves (for full contact sparring)

Shorts – if they are plain we’ll embroider them for competition (if you are not intending to compete, tracksuit bottoms will be fine)

Dipped foam/leather shin guards or shin/instep - you will need decent protection on your legs if you are also doing Muay Thai

Groin guard – Shock Doc (Flex cup) or SpiderGuard Web Flex

Good quality Gum Shield – Shock Doc 3 / Opro Gold / Brainpad

Dipped foam / leather head guard

Growling bear rash guard

Long sleeve rash guard (for winter)

Personal med kit – Zinc Oxide tape / mediwipes, Elastoplast Extreme plasters, Melolin, EAB tape, Instant ice, cohesive bandage,nail clippers,spare protein/carb bar

Kit sanitizer – I like ‘Defense’ products
Tickets for MMA league events can be purchased at http://www.mmaleague.tv/
If you are training for a semi-pro fight, you will also need MMA sparring gloves, a headguard with face shield and good quality shin/insteps.

Remember - Team colours are black & red!

Good hygeine is an essential piece of kit - make sure your kit is clean before each session & that you have short fingernails & toe nails.
Air your gloves & sparring equipment as soon as possible after you use it.
Buy good quality kit - cheap products tend to be a false economy as they do not last very long and are often made out of materials that don't 'breathe'.
You must report any injury to your instructor at the start of each session.
Wearing jewellery is inappropriate during training.
