Protect your mouth, and prevent concussions with a mouthguard. Mandatory for any partner drills or sparring. 

Molding a mouthguard is easy. Boil some water, then take it off the heat and wait about 30 seconds. Drop your mouthguard in for 30 to 45 seconds until it softens up, then carefully take it out and pop it in your mouth. Bite down firmly, suck in to mold it to your teeth, and use your fingers to press it around and shape it. Hold it there for about 30 seconds, then take it out and run it under cold water to set the shape. If it doesn’t feel right, you can reheat and try again once or twice.
