The CCMA Kit List contains both required and recommended equipment for safe MMA training. Students should endeavour to acquire the essential kit as soon as possible for hygiene reasons. We do have usable training equipment at the gym for new starters to use, but established students are using it far too long before purchasing their own equipment.
A mouth guard and groin guard are essential required equipment, and all students should wear these for all lessons without fail.
Students should aim to get the following equipment as soon as possible:
