                                          B List: Later on
                                          for sparring:
                                          Headgear
                                          Mouthguard
                                          Sparring gloves
                                          Groin protector

             This is the stuff you gotta have. You’ll look at the loaded
             catalogs and see all kinds of other things, but this is all
             you really need to develop some basic skills over a six-
             month period.In fact,you shouldn’t have to worry about
             anything on the B List until your initial training (which
             could very well last six months) is finished.


                                                                     17
