More limbs to break! My nightmare is an octopus. Or an alien who's joints all bend the opposite way.

I realized really quick that despite being 215 lbs, and relatively strong, I DO NOT want to get into a fight on the streets (not that I wanted to anyway....never have been in my 42 years). Getting tagged with 16oz gloves in light sparring hurts, bare knuckles or an elbow at full speed has gotta be awful! I'm using all this training to just be prepared I'm cornered and have no choice. We travel to Europe often and of course can't conceal carry there, and I was actually attacked by a gypsy in Budapest once (reason why I started bjj because I had no clue how to fight).

Now having to protect 2 young girls gave me more motivation!

Lets talk Mouth Guards, please.

I have a "boil and bite" mouth guard that I put in but its seen better days and I am competing in February.

Does anyone here use anything that is more professional grade? I've looked online but I'd rather ask around first.

Thanks.

This is what I use. I have a strong gag reflex so I can't use most of the mouth guards other people use. This one is thin and can be remolded a bunch if necessary. Several of the other guys at my gym now use these as well.

My sister made me one. It's really thin and is for my upper teeth only, but it stays in without biting down, and I can talk/coach clearly without taking it out. I put it in when I walk on the mat and have to peel it off/out when I leave the mat (sometimes forgetting I have it).

Probably worth mentioning that my sister is a dentist.

Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.

I used a boil and bite from Impact Mouthguards that I was very happy with, and only stopped using it because I started Invisalign treatment so i just use the retainer trays now as guards. I liked the impact guard better than anything I found at Academy.

I did use a Bite doctor guard similar to the sisu guard linked above- I think it was called the trash talker. I liked it alright however learned the hard way that if you got hit in the lips/mouth just right the small holes in the guard could still bust up the inside of your lip. Thus changed my preference to the smooth finish of the impact guard.

Good luck in your comp!
