Default hats, headbands, something to stop the sweat
I tend to sweat like a pig when I workout. Has anyone had any luck wearing something on their head: bandana, headband, do rag, hat that stops the sweat from dripping all over the place ?

I've had students wear headbands, looks silly but seems to mitigate it somewhat. I just use a towel.

Life just gets in the way. I knew the forum was in good hands with you, CJ's Dad and Kirsten.

I got my ass chewed for trying to wear a headband during phase testing in L.A. a few years ago. I guess I looked like an idiot with it on or something, but I thought that was my normal look.

I wear an UnderArmor skull-cap under my headgear for sparing, otherwise I just spend all class appologizing to my partner :-)

I use a headband sometimes in class and definitely keep a towel close by as well.

side note:

in class the other day working on ground defense kicks, I kicked the kick shield my partner was holding crisply. As my partners body went backward, his head snapped forward, knocking the sweat off of his brow and directly into my eye.

It burns!

Funny as it may sound... I use my kids' old diapers...

These are the cloth diapers, and no they have not been used on their butts.... lol They used them as "woozies"... something to snuggle against their faces...

It's not. We use them to soak up messes in the kitchen. You'd be surprised at how useful they are once you get past what they were previously used for. Or you could buy some new ones.

Question... Other than in class, does anyone know of a source of good looking krav maga do-rags? I want then for under our motorcycle helmets.

Thanx!
