Jiu Jitsu is an individual and combat sport. During grappling or simply in drills take downs, mounts and arm bars can be done and executed. It is very possible and more likely that you will get hurt.
As such, head gear like this is needed in Jiu Jitsu especially on trainings.
This protects your ear specifically from getting a cauliflower ear.
Cauliflower ear may occur when blood that collects in the outer ear after an injury isn’t drained properly or becomes infected. This is normal to fighters as it signifies some kind of a battle scar.
My husband and I have to experienced some minor cauliflower ear before we get to realized the importance of wearing head gear. And as a woman, this is not a good thing as we wear earrings most of the time.
There are different types and looks of head gear for Jiu Jitsu, as long as you are protected there is no way you will get hurt or atleast get a cauliflower ear.
