Diamond MMA 4-Strap Jock Strap Supporter With Built-In Athletic Cup Pocket

This is my review for the Diamond MMA Four-Strap Jock Strap Supporter with Built-in Athletic Cup Pocket for Sports.I use the Diamond MMA jock for Krav Maga where we regularly perform martial arts kicks and other stand-up fighting techniques as well as ground fighting.I've done other martial arts in the past without wearing a cup, but I wouldn't go without one the way we train for Krav. If you are working out in Krav Maga with a high level of intensity and a variety of partners, or sparring, you need a cup. There's just too many dynamic movements, or techniques where you target the groin area, to go without. My cup has definitely saved me a number of times.I work hard and I sweat allot. I'll admit when I first got a cup for Krav Maga I was worried it would be uncomfortable, might pinch or cause friction sores, or limit my mobility. The first time (ok the first few times) I used the Diamond MMA cup I admit I was briefly confused by the double sets of straps. It's only momentary though....they make sense and you quickly get used to them. I have really been impressed with the Diamond MMA cup. Their system of straps has always held the cup exactly where it needed to be. The way the cup itself is designed the edges are forgiving (a flexible material that holds its shape well) so that I've never felt the cup cutting into legs. And, when there's been "impact" the cup has been very effective, to the point at times when we are practicing a technique with a groin strike and you'd typically target the leg instead I've just been like "it's ok...I'm wearing a cup...hit me". I'd never offer myself up for a full-power rising front kick to the groin, but the cup has been completely effective for hand strikes or accidental glancing kicks.The cup hasn't effected my range of motion/mobility at all. And it's comfortable. I won't go so far as to say I can forget it's there entirely. I know it's there, but it doesn't restrict my movement and it's not uncomfortable. I frequently work out pretty hard for 2-3 hours and have no issues.And not to be repetitive, but it stays where it is supposed to, thanks I think to their strap design.I been using this cup for multiple workouts/week for over a year, and besides the little stick-on logo on the front of the cup coming off I can hardly tell it isn't new.Another thing, are you one of those people that has issues with elastic bands folding over, wrinkling, or getting stretched out over time? I am...but not with this jock. I swear the elastic waist band still feels like it's pretty much new.When I first went looking for a jock on Amazon there seemed to be a fair number of folks asking about or worried about the size of the cup. The cup, compared to other cups I have used, seems fairly good size in terms of volume.Let's address the elephant in the room...the price. I would not consider this jock and cup cheap. I was a little skeptical when I bought it, immediately thinking "this cup BETTER BE GOOD for that price". All I can say is, yeah, I feel like it has been that good.

Much better than the shock doctor brand one. It stays in place, it protects the goods, and seems to be made of better materials. Overall highly recommended.

Acheté pour la pratique du Krav Maga, c'est de très loin le système de protection le plus onéreux, mais c'est aussi de très loin le plus efficace, quelque soit l'angle et la puissance rien ne bouge. C'est un Must Have absolue pour qui tient à ses bijoux de famille. Attention marche surement un peu moins bien sans la coquille de la même marque.

I have used many brands and styles of jock straps / cups, but this is the best I have ever had. It is super comfortable, stays firmly locked in place, and the quality is amazing. The Diamond MMA four-strap supporter is a must have for just about any contact sport. I paired this jock strap with a shockdoctor Titan XL stainless cup and It is like an impenetrable safe for my most valued possessions.

Nice design with the 2 extra straps to support cup in place, but the waist strap on my back can and does moves down a bit. Theres an elastic looped tie string to tighten but I haven't figured out how to employ it. And really haven't tried to use it. As to previous comments workmanship may need improvment. I will say it's made with some decent materials. Even though cup size is larger may fit and be able to wear in another brand of supporters. Removing cup while wearing it, seems to be a little difficult and may eventually tear after wash & wear repeats it's self over time. So that may be one reason for stitching prob. Price is steep though.
