Mouthguard:
A mouthguard is required for participation in any competitive games event (held semi-annually), and optional for in-class rolling/sparring. Mouthguards are likely available on-island at Target and Walmart. If you want to order from Amazon, we recommend these mouthguards because they come with a case, have great reviews, and seem to be reasonably priced. Any brand or color is fine:
​
-
12yrs and younger: Oral Mart Youth Mouthguard
​
Kid's Kickboxing

These requirements are influenced by the official Approved Safety Gear for the US Fight League — the foremost developmental league for Mixed Martial Arts Competition in the US.
​
THE COLOR BLACK: We ask that all the gear be plain black in color, and also that the clothing is plain black as well, to support a cohesive team vibe that builds trust and rapport and, through that, improves performance and safety. If the gear you want isn't available in black, please choose another brand or wait for it to become available.
