Do males wear cups in judo?


Recommended Posts

Just a question I would like to know the answer to.

This is a little off topic but still in the same category. I know in judo matches women didn't used to be able to do certain moves because of the worries of damage to their breasts. Did they change that because of some sort of modern chest protector? And also would a woman be better off using a regular soft hogu or one that is hard like real armor?

I wear a cup when grappling and stand up sparring.One you can set an armbar better with a cup on and most importantly I don't like the the thought of the pain in my groin if hit or pitched.Any one with common sense would.

When are you going to have a cup in a street fight? So the answer would be for my training, no. As far as judo goes... well I don't see why you need it since judo focuses on throws and not strikes..

you can set an arm bar without a cup. just pinch the knees together.

That is another good reason keeping your junk to your self
