I’m stuck between the fly spectre m 2.0 shin guards in white and the fairtex sp5 shin guards in white, can someone tell me the pros and cons of each for mma considering both grappling and striking and can you also give me your verdict on which one i should get?
Thanks

Hello guy! I recently joined the top MMA gym in my country with zero combat sports experience. I've been doing beginner MMA and grappling for a week.
However, instead of building my fundamentals (stance, throwing a jab, basic mechanics), my instructors put me straight into sparring after just 30 minutes of drilling a single combination like a jab-calf kick.
Same thing in the grappling classes was immediately put into sparring after drilling guillotine escapes [i dont even know how to do a proper guillotine just saw it in the ufc] and here's a video of firas zahabi : https://youtu.be/-BUHHj8EJc4?si=NPeF10-8GHYEtffp mentioning his way of tutoring white belts:[tldr : basically drill basic moves and get understading of guard,basic passing and ashi garami then move to sparring otherwise ur just cranking and squeezing with no technique and getting bruised up for no reason].
Given my situation, would you guys recommend I pause MMA to train fundamentals at a smaller kickboxing gym and practice BJJ basics with my younger brother for a few months then later on come back to this gym , or should I stay at this MMA gym? Thanks for your advice!
I’m 26F 162 pounds and completely out of shape, I started twice a week at my local MMA gym about a month ago and I’m managing 2-3 weightlifting workouts additional to my 2 mma days. I really want to lose weight and get toned after 3 kids I have an apron belly and just overall not happy with my looks. I absolutely love the sport already but I’m curious with other women who started, when did you start to notice changes in your looks specifically from MMA?
Hey all,
I'm starting this thread from an industry research point of view. To be transparent, I'm very much in the industry. My name is Alex Wright. I'm the owner of a business called Fightstorepro and also the brand director for the REVGEAR MMA brand that is based in the USA.
I'm not here to promote either business in any way. I may well post specifically about the REVGEAR brand, but again in a research context.
I've been around since the early MMA days in the UK and been doing the sports for over 30 years. Here's where the rubber meets the road.
I'm now over 50 and truth is my experience is almost clouding my viewpoint.
Anyone with view points on trends on any of the following or your own experiences I'd really like to know:
