Listed gear will be provided by athlete and their Team.  Limited gear MAY be available for sale at each event.

ALL Athletes are required to have the following:

1) Mouthpiece

2) Cup (males)

3) Shin Guards (can use cloth or leather for E class)

4) Headgear (preferably open face --for D class mandatory open face)

5) Muay Thai Shorts

Provided by MDL TEXAS:  REQUIRED MDL APPROVED Muay Thai Sparring Chest Protectors and Gloves.  Participants may also use their own MDL approved chest proectors. 

These vests are unlike TKD or other martial arts vests that are very stiff.  These are thinner and more "pliable" which allows more movement within the clinch.  Wearing the vests helps promote better/higher scoring techniques at a closer range such as body kicks and knees to the body.  It also helps encourage more engagement within the clinch and helps keep athletes working "in the pocket".
