Wrestpng Headgear

Wrestpng headgear is not an essential item, but it is necessary enough to wear a headgear if you are playing in a higher level match where it can get more physical. There is a single size head gear available that can fit all with adjusting straps.

Headgears are designed to protect the wrestler s ears. Without headgears, a wrestler may suffer from "caupflower ear" which occurs after someone gets repeated hits to the ear. Wrestlers are pkely to have caupflower ear because their ears may be hit while they re in a match. These blows can damage the shape and structure of the outside of the ear.

Wrestpng Kneepads and Mouth Guards

Kneepads are used for the protection of knees. During the shooting process most of the wrestlers get hurt on their knees, so this is an essential item.

On the other hand, mouth guards are used to protect the teeth of the wrestler during the match. These are pke braces that the wrestler wears inside of his mouth.

Wrestpng Bands

Generally two types of bands are used in a match: red and green. One wrestler is given red band and other is given a green one. These are needed to be placed on the ankle of the wrestler.
