*Bring your own gear*
So my friend had his first ammy kickboxing fight in ON,Canada.
Now i heard about all the fkury that goes on and the weird rules and such but what was the oddest for me was that you bring your own headgear and shinpads??
My buddys headgear was too big so in the ring they said he had to find another or he would get a DQ. He found one but it was blue and needed to be black, then he found one that was black but had cheek protection, finally as hes in the ring my coach returns with headgear that is suitable after the third attempt.
Headgear on his opp ready for around 5 min now and the ref says no spats...after walkout and everything with the headgear she makes my buddy untape his shinpads and go remove his spatts and comeback out to retape everything
At this point it was easily 7 or 10 min to get all this bs done and my buddy was mentally taken out before the fight even stared.
Just bad luck for first ammy or welcome to Ontario? And is there a rule about shinguard thickness. Id just wear the sock fitting mma ones if not (Looking forward to my first comp. too)
