    rk412-414_a.jpgWould it be a good investment to get a pair of these for ju jitsu?

    Is it Brazilian Jitz your doing?.

    Also, why not as your instructors what equipement you'll need?.

    Dude, just concentrate on finding a school and going to a few classes first. They'll let you know if you need to purchase any equipment. All you'll probably need to start is a gum shield.

    You don't need gloves for BJJ.

    What club are you training with?.

    Put the gumshield in hot water, then bite into it. It should work fine then.

    What club are you training with?

    EDIT: My internet is sloooooooooow today.

    dude, ive been training for a while, i train in shorts i got from pennys, you dont need expensive gear, especially starting out. get a 20 euro shock doctor mouth guard, they're pretty good to start with, and a groin guard should be about a tenner. concentrate on actually training to begin with

    I use a gumshield I picked up for €2.50. It's more than enough for rolling. The expensive groin guards are worth it though - cheep, inflexible ones can slide off and cut right into your bits when grappling.

    Daniel,I'm not a mod or anything, but some friendly advice; you've been given some good advice thus far on this forum, but now its time to just go and train. post back in a couple of weeks and let us all know how your getting on, but stop making threads about buying equipment for a sport you havent even started training in
