The cup check

[JeffK]

How do you do it? I have a new policy requiring groin protection be worn 100% of the time. I'm a female instructor with mostly male students and while I personally wouldn't be embarrassed to ask for the "knock-knock" check, it's a new world out there and I'm not interested in a lawsuit for inappropriate or suggestive discussion/behavior. What's your across-the-genders approach to the cup check?

So, how did you handle this issue and did you get students to wear their cup to every class?

About 1/4 of the guys I train with are going without a cup. My instructor is female and brings up the groin protection requirement every class. Typical offenders are women and men in their twenties.

Since other student know I wear a cup, they don’t even ask, just assume I’m protected. It takes ‘balls’ to complain that they hurt foot on partner’s athletic cup.
