RangerG Former Moderator Registered: 04/18/05 Posts: 1026 Loc: Chester County, Pennsylvania	What if any protecitve gear do you use in Krav? Me: Hand wraps or MMA gloves for Krav. 10 oz gloves, Heavy shin guards, mouthguard and quality leather headgear for fight class. What brands do you like and why? _________________________ "If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough."

Equis Member Registered: 06/01/05 Posts: 101 Loc: in my pants.	10 oz gloves?? We use 14 or 12. Also the nutt cuppp! very important part of fight class. NO particular brand that I like, just as long as it does the job. I don't use wraps for my hands just wrist wraps.

SANCHIN31 Former Moderator Registered: 12/26/04 Posts: 3783 Loc: Arkansas, U.S.	I don't do krav,but I think the bulky boxing gloves should only be used by beginners or those who lack control.They rule out grabs and locks too much and limit you to just punching. _________________________ Skinny,Bald,and Handsome!

RangerG Former Moderator Registered: 04/18/05 Posts: 1026 Loc: Chester County, Pennsylvania	The gloves are used for full contact fight class. Our dojo does 50% force. Other dojo's in our system do up to 100% force. _________________________ "If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough."
