wear it, just when you don't you'll get an injury. Monday night we only had a few minutes left so our instructor/my hubby had us spar light contact and I sprained my flipping big toe, so now I am hobbling through class wear it.

In the assocications that I've attended & in my own opinion, it's down to the individual. If you feel you need it in class, wear it in class. You may get some people question you about it, but then again people are always going to question something new/different.

During competition's (over here in the UK that I've been to/competed in) in semi-contact it's optional, in light continuous its a requirement, as it's a Health & Safety requirement (I haven't done full contact so I won't comment on that ). And of course you have your shin guards, mitts, gum shield, groin box (males), chest shield (female), etc which are required of you anyway.
