lobloo MMA Cup Patented Athletic Groin Cup for Martial Arts Mixing Standing and Ground Fighting

Simple but effective design. Really don't know it's there once fitted. Easy to follow instructions.

Ho acquistato sia questa conchiglia che la sorella Thai Cup 2.0 e alla fine ho scelto di tenere questa perché è molto più solida e capiente della Thai Cup 2.0. Fin ora, dopo 30 anni di arti marziali, è la miglior conchiglia che ho trovato.

As Krav is my art of choice, I've tried several different cups over the years. If you've ever trained Krav, you understand.I'll start by pointing out this cup's "attachement system". If you're looking at any of the Lo Bloo products, you likely already know they're not meant to be worn like most cups (i.e. in compression shorts or a jock). Rather, they're worn using the included waistband and cord system.It may seem odd/unusual at first, but it's easy to figure out, and actually suprisingly comfortable.If you're considering trying this particular cup in a jock or compression shorts, I'd probably recommend against it. It's a little deep and bulky, and probably won't sit well if worn in that way.This "MMA cup" is a bit different than the more popular Lo Bloo Thai cup (which I haven't tried). It seems a bit bigger - deeper especially.For stand up fighting (as much of Krav is), I think this is a solid choice. The cup itself is very sturdy - I can set it on the floor and hop/stand on it without any meaningful deformation.I tried it both worn against the skin, as well as with a pair boxer briefs underneath. I'd suggest trying both ways, and finding which you prefer. I think the protection and comfort are slightly better when worn with something underneath.Downsides - I don't think it's as good for ground/grappling. It's a pretty deep/bulky cup, so you're going to be putting it into people's backs, etc, and it'll also be putting pressure on you.If ground is where you spend a lot of your time while training, you might consider either a different brand or a different lo bloo model.I've included a couple pictures showing this next to a Diamond cup and one of the Shock Doctor models.You can see how it's notably deeper than either of those - if that's better for you or not will likely depend on your fighting style.

Had an issue with my first order, but customer service is excellent and they immediately addressed my concerns.

finally a cup that my balls can fit in. really comfortable, stays perfectly where it should even after a takedown.
