does everyone wear a cup when they grapple

i do all the time. you can tell the guys that don't, they are the ones that are coughing on the side of the mats every now and then. some guys never have a problem without one.
 
i never do... never have. ive only had about 2 instances where my junk too a knee or elbow or something... and i have a third leg. but seriously.. you shouldnt worry about it too much in gi situations. however, i would probably wear one all the time in no gi. people move faster and it is generall more aggressive than gi training.

most people at BJJ schools dont wear one, given that bjj in nature is relatively gentle/smooth. but i would imagine alot of guys at 'submission fighting' or 'mma' schools' most definitely are strapped.

that being said: check out the best thread on cups in a long time. pure trolling, but so funny.

I never wear a cup and i do both gi and nogi, I get hit in the family jewels sometimes but never hard enough for me to take a break
 
I prefer to wear one. No need in risking the jewels. I don't want any more kids, but that's not the way I want to accomplish that.
 
i would wear one.. if i get the money to buy one. only problems i get are from arm bars though.
 
yeah i have never worn one in 2 yrs,i do fine without it .
 
When I wore a cup before, either my dick was squished or my balls ached when the position of the cup was shifte4d by a bit. Any way to prevent this?
 
I always do. It doesn't take too many heels to the balls while someones attempting a leglock or a shoot gone awry before you get the hint...

Whenever I take someone's back and roll so I can go for the RNC, it always seems like I get a fair proportion of their weight right where it hurts. So I now wear a cup.
 
I was applying an armbar, and didn't squeeze my knees togethre enough. When I pulled back, it wasn't too fun. He must've had thick arms or I have tiny balls, 'cause it got both of them!

Compression shorts
 
I trained my first 2 months without a cup. I had several close calls & got grazed a few times, but never really took a solid nut shot. I was lucky. Once I started wearing one, I get popped there all the time, at least 1-2x a week.

Wear a cup.
 
I always have, it is good to have aone, especially if they put that knee through.
 
I always wear one. What pisses me off is when you accidentally tag someone who refuses to wear one and they make a big deal about it. I hate having to be overly careful w/ practice partners that start w/ the "careful..." or "oooh, watch it..." comments.
 
i like to wear the cup becuase i get more leverage out of it if im doing armbars or knee bars it works much better but i dont use it when im doing gi stuff
