Jiu-Jitsu gumshields · Lab-made in Dorset
Scrambles, takedowns and accidental elbows mean teeth take knocks in jiu-jitsu. A custom gumshield is slim and secure, so you can breathe through long rolls without it getting in the way.
In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), you aren't usually bracing for a punch, but you are constantly navigating a landscape of stray knees, accidental headbutts, and heavy pressure. Whether you're a white belt surviving your first roll or a seasoned competitor hunting for a submission, a gumshield is a non-negotiable piece of safety equipment.
Grappling creates unique stresses on your mouth that striking sports don't. You need a guard that excels in comfort and retention.
The Scramble Guard: In the chaos of a scramble, limbs fly. A high-retention fit ensures that if you take an accidental knee to the face while passing guard, your teeth are shielded and your lips aren't shredded.
Pressure Management: When you're stuck in a heavy "cross-face" or under a crushing "Mount," you naturally grit your teeth. Our Bite-Tech material prevents you from grinding your enamel down and protects your jaw from the grinding pressure of a heavy opponent.
Uninterrupted Breathing: BJJ is a game of endurance. Our ultra-slim profile allows you to breathe deeply through your mouth when your nose is blocked by an opponent’s Gi or shoulder, helping you stay calm under "The Squeeze."
Speech for Technical Rolling: BJJ is often collaborative. Our guards are slim enough that you can give your partner feedback or talk through a technique with your professor without having to remove your protection.
The "Tap Out" Rule: Don't let a dental injury be the reason you have to stop a roll. A simple mouthguard prevents the most common BJJ facial injury: the "inside-out" lip laceration caused by being pressed into your own teeth.

Our BJJ range features a low-volume design. This means the guard sits tightly against your teeth and doesn't extend too far back into the soft palate, which eliminates the "gag reflex" often triggered during heavy exertion or when someone is putting pressure on your neck.
Athletes rate us
Great service. Quick turnaround, first-class contact with the graphics department to check a colour issue (from my end) and a great fitting training guard. Highly recommended!
I just purchased an extra thick gumshield for boxing and I'm really impressed. I've only used boil and bite gumshields previously and found they were really bulky, making it difficult to breathe — and they fall out easily.
I feel like more people should know about the company — great service and price point, and you get a product that protects your gums, made especially to fit your mouth perfectly.
