    Gum Shield

    We strongly advise the use of a good quality gum shield.

    Wearing a gum shield while practicing BJJ is crucial for protecting your teeth and preventing dental injuries. It acts as a barrier against impacts and reduces the risk of injuries during sparring or competitions. Additionally, a gum shield can help absorb the force of blows to the face and reduce the likelihood of concussion should it happen. Overall, wearing a good quality gum shield is a simple yet effective way to safeguard your oral health and prevent serious injuries while training.

    For adult students we have a couple options that you can look into to get a custom made gum shield, this is by far the best investment you ever make whislt training BJJ or any other contact sport.

    As alternative you can visit the Pro Gum Shields website or instagram @pro_gumshields, they will send you a kit for you to do the mold at home, you then send the mold back to them, tould get you gum shield in a couple of weeks.

    Don't Leave Anything Behind

    Please remember do not leave any of your belongings behind.

    To claim anything left behind it will cost you a sum of burpees,

    60 burpees for the first item, 50 burpees per item for 2 or more items.
