You can get compression shorts from shockdoctor which have a place for the cup. You can search through the forums and find out all about shorts. You also may need to get a gi depends if your doing gi or nogi

Then you will probably have to get a gi too. They may sell some at your gym but if they dont you can go to SSFgear.com. It has everything you will probably need

any info about the wearing a cup in traing would be helpful

just a regular one like the ones you use in baesball is that the wrong kind or something

You can use just a regular one. But most guys, and myself, have switched to a compression short style cup design by shock doctor. http://www.shockdoctor.com/coreProte...mpression.html

Like the ones on this link. They work very well and are very comfortable. If you are just starting out in MMA, grappling, or kickboxing? I dont know which. Its better that you go and just wear some gym clothes and train a little bit and see if you really like it or not first. That way you dont end up spending lots of money on gear then deciding, well I dont really like this. So hold off on the sprawls and gold weave gi just yet. If ya like MMA, then the guys on this forum can help you out so much with the best gear that they have used and abused! Hope this helps ya, ask more questions if ya got em!
