5 Essential Pieces of MMA Gear Every Beginner Needs

Walking into your first MMA class can be intimidating enough without worrying about gear. Here are the five essential pieces of equipment every MMA beginner needs.

1. MMA Gloves

MMA gloves are smaller (typically 4oz), with open fingers for grappling. The Rage Fury MMA Gloves are competition-approved with a pre-curved fit.

2. Rash Guard

A tight-fitting athletic shirt for grappling. Our Rage Venom Rash Guard is built for no-gi training with compression fit and anti-microbial treatment.

3. Fight Shorts

MMA fight shorts need to allow full range of motion. The Rage Warfare Fight Shorts feature 4-way stretch with side splits.

4. Hand Wraps

Even with MMA gloves, wrap your hands for striking. A pair of 180" hand wraps costs under $15 and prevents injuries.

5. Shin Guards

Essential for kickboxing drills. The Titanium Shin Guards offer full coverage with triple-density foam.

What Can Wait?

A heavy bag, headgear, and boxing gloves are nice to have but not essential for your first few months.
