It’s easy to focus on gloves and shorts, but real safety comes from the gear you don’t always think about. These three essentials can mean the difference between long-term progress and early injury.

1. Hand Wraps: The Unsung Hero
Wraps stabilize the small bones in your hands and wrists. Skipping them increases your risk of sprains, fractures, and long-term wrist pain. At Legacy, we offer both cotton and stretch wraps to give you the perfect fit and support.

As a coach for 11 years, I've seen too many athletes and even fighters not bother with handwraps. It's a bad idea. You might not feel it now, but over time, the damage adds up. Protect yourself. Always wrap up.

2. Mouthguards: Not Just for Sparring
Mouthguards protect your teeth and help reduce the risk of concussions even during drills. It's not just for striking either. You should also be wearing one in grappling sports to protect your jaw and prevent accidental injuries.

3. Groin Protectors
Groin protectors are a must for guys training Muay Thai, Boxing, or MMA. You’re not allowed to wear them for BJJ, but for any striking sport, you definitely should. Even when you're just holding pads, you’d be surprised how often you can catch an accidental knee especially in Muay Thai. Trust me, I know from experience… and it’s not fun. Protect yourself before it’s too late.

Don’t wait for injury to get serious about protection. Legacy’s house brand was built by fighters who know what’s needed.
