ANYBODY HERE USE GRAPPLE GUARDS?

AtletaDoMataLeao · 01-14-2001, 02:22 PM

I've seen quite a few people using the skin tight grapple T's when fighting. How popular are they amongst you guys?
We were thinking of doing our own range, but obviously it all comes down to how they are seen in the eyes of fighters themselves.

Thanks

dan, i was thinking the same thing...

btw, HOWARD, if you see this... your new logo is "TIGHT" (as my son would say) :-)

AtletaDoMataLeao · 01-15-2001, 12:28 PM

But are they any good??
What I mean is - Would there be a demand for them?

I'm only one, but I've been looking to get a rashguard(surf wet suit top), because I couldn't find it on the web. I live in Hawaii, though, so T&C and Local Motion sells them. But I would like to see it made for fighiting. Let me know when you make 'em. Great.

I wonder where you might find something like that, Chad.

hmmmmm

Hey guys...first post here...I am a powerlifter/strongman who am just gaining interest in martial arts...

Anyway...what I think you guys are describing are these...www.underarmour.com. They are used throught the football world and I think they are awesome...not MADE for grappling..but ya might be able to use them...I personally love them for everything...hope I helped...

Chad W. Getz · 01-16-2001, 11:57 AM

Thanks Paul. Like i said though, if you make one, as long as price is reasonable, I'll probably get one from you. I first started thinking about getting one because Stuart stretches all of my good shirts...

Let us know if you make one Paul.

They make rashguards and thicker "wetsuit" shirts, what do you guys think would be better?

AtletaDoMataLeao · 01-16-2001, 04:54 PM

Too thick would make you sweat heavy!!
We are thinking of doing them at some point. I'll keep you informed if anything happens.

Thanks
Paul

Chad W. Getz · 01-17-2001, 05:54 PM

The other thing to remember is price also. Rashguards sell here for about 30 dollars.

There was one that I like at http://www.underarmour.com , thanks for the tip. They claim the material does not absorb sweat on their stuff, too.

Also, do you guys think long sleeve or short sleeve would be better?

Well, just let us know when you do it.

Chad
As soon as anything happens, I'll let you know bud.
