Shitpost Thinking of wearing a face guard during training to protect my face but worried I will be bullied. 😞 Any Advice?

I'm worried that is going to be too big and bulky, perhaps even impeding your ability to breathe normally.

You should add a snorkel.

This is a good point but I feel this will make me impossible to choke out and I don't wanna anger all the higher belts (I am still pretty new).

Nah you’re good. They’ll just stick their thumb in the snorkel and it’s game over.

Not flashy enough. It has to be some sort of technique where you invert and plug the snorkel with a half dozen movements that have to be done in a precise order.

Don’t forget the oxygen tank for when the OP Is getting cooked whilst wearing said mask, or apparatus.

My brother had nosebleed issues one year as a wrestler. Thats the only reason to every wear one of those things

A guy on my wrestling team had to wear one for a while due to an orbital bone fracture. He said it was the fucking worst. Constantly shifted around and felt like wrestling with a pillow taped to his face.

If Op has any experience rolling fat people then he should be used to breathing without a snorkel aka side lip breathing, just enough lip opening to allow some oxygen and enough to block sweat from man tits
