im going to be moving to another country soon (japan), and will take up training mma there seriously
so i am going to be needing to buy all my gear before i leave the US, since prices are here are probably alot cheaper then up there.
i am wondering what are some things i should get,
more typically the brand , good quality so it can last me a while but not crazy expensive unless its truly worth it
right now the only thing i got is a pair of Twins super bag gloves http://store.titleboxing.com/twins-super-bag-gloves.html , would i be able to use these for sparring?
and a pair of compression shorts.
i got some ideas on which brand i am lookin at, but i am looking for suggestions with people with hands on experience
items i am thinking i will definitly need are :
rash guards - probably get both a long sleeve and a short sleeve (unless i only need 1?) brand i was looking towards where the kaizen and mizuno since they look to be pretty good quality and made from lycra (unless they all are?) and hayabusa
fight shorts - probably gonna get sprawl shorts. probly go cheaper and the vflex since they are on sale
mouth guards- i am most likely going with starsguards but, i just got the fittin kit, dont know if i did a good job and i will be moving in less then 2 weeks, so i guess ill have to just get shockdoctor .. unless thats a big no-no
mma gloves- people seem to have liked the combat sports gloves which is pretty damn cheap compared to everything else, but would i need to get 2 different types of mma gloves or can one be okay? also lookin at hayabusas or ssf
and dont know, maybe also shin guards?
anything else i should buy before i leave?
