Hair systems and combat sports

[kj6723]

I imagine if you're sparring or doing striking oriented arts it would be find, but how do you think a modern hair system would hold up for someone who does bjj/wrestling/grappling?

 

[blondi]

Not one bit. Once someone slips a guillotine or rear naked choke, no chance that wig is sitting still.

The adhesives available are very strong nowadays, but personally I would draw the line at sports where there is the likelihood of actual physical contact between your opponent and your hair, unless you can wear head protection. If you are all sweaty, the glue has heated up and has lost some of its strength, and then someone tugs hard on your hair, there has got to be a risk of an embarrassing accident. It is unlikely that the whole piece would come off, but the hairline could be ripped loose or pushed back. Even if the risk is low, any risk at all of that scenario happening would be too much for me. I know a guy who wears a hairpiece and does BJJ, but he always wears head protection.

You should, as Fred and Noah said, avoid contact sports. If you still want to practice one, though, you should forget about hair systems at all.

What about Tae Kwon Do? There is mostly light sparing, no takedowns, just very sweaty. Its an excellent workout. I would love to get back into it.

 

[kj6723]

Lol so the bond has it's limits.

 

[s1nemesis1s]

LOL - YES I am seeing pictures. I am sure you guys are right, this is one of the downsides of a system.

 

[Noah]

I think Tae Kwon Do would be OK. Just wear a bandana over the piece.

Good point, wear a bandana!

What's up fellow forum members! My older brother insisted I stop placing wagers on slow local kiosks. He directed me to 1xbetapp.mobile, which works seamlessly throughout the Philippines. Navigating through European basketball fixtures was effortless, the slip builder is straightforward, and collecting my balance after a thrilling triple overtime finish was fast and simple.
