once you get going if you want low priced, decent gear, try GnPclothing.com

its proper good gear, as good (if not better) than most of the expensive brands

iv never used a gumshield.... thats why my front tooth is fooked

[ross90]

Same as the other lads have said. Gumshield and groin guard first. Then buy the gloves and the rest of it afterwards when you've been a bit more.

But be prepared, holy water and prayers, not even the hand of god can remove the smell from the communal gloves and leg pads. Especially if you train a couple of nights a week.

Nah , you will be fine. Save your money , just get yourself a TapouT T'shirt and rock on over.

Great advice, with a tapout t-shirt you don't even have to train, people will just think you do MMA.

Think how much money you will save by not paying gym fee's etc

Especially if you go to Asda in it and strut up and down the meat aisle

Thanks to (most) of you for the advice. I'll get a gum shield and cup. Don't even own a pair of shorts, will prob turn up in track bottoms and t shirt (god I'll be sticking out like a sore thumb).

And I always carry a little botte of anti bacterial stuff in my ruck sack for after the gym (or for any public toilets that don't have any fucking soap).

tip of the day:

get a pair of shorts before you go mate, you'll ruin tracky bottoms with the mats, and you'll be boiling

www.gnpclothing.com decent mma shorts for 20 quid

[sjharvey]

Can't afford twenty quid ha ha prob get a pair of cheap ones from sports direct or something, don't have to be mma shorts right now.

I design MMA clothing and have tons of shorts etc ..... yet I still wear Quiksilver over all of them lol

Personal choice but I hate the buckles on MMA shorts, trend catching on too you see loads of ppl on mats with flower shorts on from like Primark etc

Cool I'll just get a cheap pair of combat shorts from asda or primark or something lol. I think the session I'm attending isn't thai boxing but submission wrestling. Have to go to a thai class to at some point. I couldn't throw a roundhouse head kick to save my life right now.
