KUDO Headgear - Pro’s and Con’s

Mal Sanchez-Jones UK International Branch Chief discusses the benefits of using the NeoHeadGear (Kudo Head Guard)

[@megaham1552]

I like how this comes off as a safer version of MMA, I feel if people knew more about Kudo there would be a bigger demand for it

[@ericv5615]

I got jumped by 3 men and suffered very serious corneal abrasions. It only takes one good shot in sparring and my vision is in shambles. Looking to buy this product and continue my training! Osu

Thank you for making this video. I’ve had several expensive and painful facial reconstruction surgeries after a motor vehicle accident, on top of the TBI that came with it. I also wear glasses and am blind without them. I’m trying to find a way that I can get back into sparring without potentially risking serious permanent injury. Considering all the headgear options and different arts I could potentially learn. Was a TKD student as a child/teenager before the accident, and did a little bit of BJJ after I recovered.

Hi Bro, my experience is very similar to yours

[@thefightcoachuk]

Great video

[@williamqpnguyen4110]

perfect explanation =)

[@makenjikarate]

Awesome 👊

[@symmetry08]

This is expensive sport therefore. This brilliant invention, that, which will make it more viable for more fights, without serious injury while practicing it repeatedly.

[@edgardo9003]

Hope I could make the ones used in competition for myself (I haven't trained in Kudo yet). (Where can I find a company that teaches people who are beginners in Kudo headgear making?)

[@gailvalleymartialarts]

Hi! Could you do a video explaining how to correctly tie the laces in the back?

[@kudouk]

I will try thanks for the feedback

[@gailvalleymartialarts]

@@kudouk Thanks! I just bought one of these helmets and it came in the mail today, but I'm not sure I've laced it correctly :D

[@tentimetex]

The head gear used by Nippon Kempo doesnt steam up, it has a metal frame instead. Wouldn't it be possible to use that for Kudo?

[@kudouk]

Do you have a link? Thanks for the comment

[@narcoage]

How should I care for my headgear after exercise? I'm worried about odors due to sweat. Would using a dehumidifier to dry it cause the leather to deform? What method do you recommend?

[@kudouk]

Just put it in a well ventilated place, eventually you will need to replace it anyway. Good luck 👊🏼

[@narcoage]

@@kudouk Thank you for your reply! have a good day!

[@dwardo1066]

Hi Mal, can you recommend a supplier please. Also how does the sizing work if any, Thanks in advance.

Where are you from?

[@christiansonicthehedgehog5389]

What difference does this headgear make to headbutts? i.e. can the strike become sloppier and how does it impact the sport?

[@kudouk]

The Headbutt impact is the same. It’s just another strike in the arsenal.

[@christiansonicthehedgehog5389]

Does the technique change from Kudo to Lethwei?

[@darkhanamgalanbaterdene2522]

@@christiansonicthehedgehog5389 yes it kinda does

[@christiansonicthehedgehog5389]

@@darkhanamgalanbaterdene2522 How?

[@darkhanamgalanbaterdene2522]

@@christiansonicthehedgehog5389 well in kudo , headbutt is usually used before judo techniques . You can say it's for stunning . But in lethwei , there are entire combos with headbutts , but they doesn't recommend it though

[@Sujaltanw]

It's still hard to breath in there

Is this helmet good for Muay Thai ?

[@kudouk]

If you want to practice elbows I’m sure it would benefit but as Muay Thai use boxing gloves in practice and competition it seems counterproductive to wear headgear 👍

[@scrawlin18]

@@kudouk that’s a solid point. I would only wear this during “hard sparring.” Typically I don’t wear head gear either. Just want it for just in case.

[@kudouk]

@@scrawlin18 exactly, good luck mate all the best!
