The Culture & Cure Behind Cauliflower Ear

While wrestling in high school, Greg Harkins said he never wore protective head gear in tournaments or practices because it was too hot and too sweaty; a decision he now regrets.

Over time, Harkins developed a condition called auricular hematoma, which is more widely recognized as cauliflower ear.

Wrestling Gear Information

Wrestling Gear

A wrestling singlet (or simply singlet) is a one-piece, tight-fitting, colored uniform, usually made of spandex, lycra, or nylon, used in amateur wrestling. The uniform is tight fitting so as not to get grasped accidentally by one’s opponent, and allows the referee to see each wrestler’s body clearly when awarding points or a pin. Unlike judo, it is illegal to grasp an opponent’s clothing in all styles of amateur wrestling.

Wrestling Headgear is protection that a person wears over the ears and chin during wrestling matches. The main purpose of headgear is to protect the ears of the wrestler, not really the head as the name implies. The headgear often covers the ears of the wearer, has two straps that go behind the head, two that go over the front and top part of the head, and one strap that goes under the chin (in some cases the strap will go on the chin). Thus, wrestling headgear equipment are also simply called ear guards or ear protectors. Headgear is often made of durable plastic, velcro, and button snaps. Headgear is required to be worn in high school and college wrestling in the United States. In Canada, and in international competition (freestyle and Greco-Roman), headgear is allowed but not required.

Wrestling Shoes are active wear used in competition and practice for the sport of wrestling. Generally extremely light and flexible, they try to mimic the bare foot with slightly more traction and ankle support and less chance of contracting a disease or hurting someone with your toe nails.Some power lifters find wrestling shoes to be useful when lifting because of how little shock absorption they provide.

Wrestling Knee pads are used to protect a wrestler from the impact their knees suffer from shooting.
