PhilM1 Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 do lots of male mma fighters shave their legs like wrestlers and football players do? fight til you die
SaiFightsMS Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 Now why do I think this could get interesting?
aes Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 I can't say I have seen many that I know shave. I myself have been shaving my entire body for several years now. Not for MA reasons but because I don't like being as hairy as I am (pretty much as shaggy as Robin Williams). I think shaving looks better as well. Helps show off the defined muscles you get with intense MA training IMO. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate
Aamorn KSW Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 I haven't heard of anyone doing this except swimmers. Do you know why other athletes do it? Aamorn - KSW Chuhng Di
TJS Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 i have "heard" some people do it so they can get out of arm bars/leg locks, etc easier...but im sure most of it is just cosmetic.
IAMA_chick Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 no, not that i have ever heard of. that would be sort of weird. lol Tae Kwon Do15-years oldpurple--belt
aes Posted April 14, 2003 Posted April 14, 2003 no, not that i have ever heard of. that would be sort of weird. lol What is weird about shaving your legs and body? Most women I know these days would rather a man be smooth than super hairy. I would not have shaved my body except I fall in the later catagory and I am always hot and less body hair seems to help me stay cool especially in summer. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate
1ONEfighting Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 I shave before a fight, because there is a lot of "incidental" hairpulling while grappling. Trainwreck Tiemeyerwishes he was R. Lee Ermey.

AmericanKickboxer Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 hmm... i have been shaving since i was about 11 long ago.. it does keep you cooler during hot days, it helps the sweat to run off easier when you are running miles in a plastic sack.. and the ladiez seem to like it nowadayz so it all works out for the best -Boxing -Kickboxing -Muay Thai -Brazilian JuijitsuMind is matter, and matter doesn't mind, be-cause matter is in the mind, so mind is over matter.'Have you ever glued broken glass or shells to your hands wrapped in tape....its an experience...
