WHAT’S IN YOUR BAG?

Lisa E in full swing!

When I was training for fights people used to always laugh that sheer size of the equipment bags that we would lug around.  I usually had a gi (traditional jiujitsu uniform), belt, cup, mouthpiece (plus a back up), hand wraps, boxing gloves, MMA gloves, MMA gloves with extra padding for training, headgear, helmet, shin pads, elbow pads, knee brace (plus a back up), shorts, rashguard, beanie, socks, t-shirts, 4 rolls of athletic tape, gauze, Purell, fingernail clippers, super glue for cuts, water bottle, Vaseline for cut prevention, herbal pain patches, smelling salts, gum, powerbars and a water bottle.  All of that just to show up and train!
What’s in your training bag?  Do you have everything that you need with you?  Do you have a full waterbottle? Athletic tape? A towel? A knee or wrist braces? Weight-lifting shoes? Running shoes? Gloves? (just kidding) Coming prepared to class means not only are you mentally and physically ready to workout, but that you have any and all of the necessary equipment that you will need.  Whenever one of us would show up without a mouthpiece or cup, my old coach Bryan Popejoy would tell us that we had basically shown up without bothering to bring our right arm! Come prepared!
