Gagging on the mouthpiece

[Howlin Mad Missy]

It's happening as soon as the mouthpiece is in, what do you mean man up and get used to it? Get used to gagging while training? Cmon man, lol. I'd like to see you get used to something like that, it's a shitty feeling.

Missy is somewhat of an expert on gagging on things placed in her mouth

You mean NOT gagging?

Thank You all for your advice and support in this matter.

After a 3 year hiatus from fighting, I plan to make a lil comeback and have my 4th smoker in October.

Mind you I've continued boxing during all this time and sparred hard and even at a new gym (sister gym of my previous one) and have not gagged a single time since my last fight.

I recently purchased new gloves, stock trunks and a new mouthpiece in anticipation of my upcoming fight. I'm looking to start with a clean slate as far as this mouthpiece gagging nightmare is concerned.

Basically my mouth would get dry, I couldn't swallow, then I'd try to swallow and taste that damn rubber of the moutpiece and...gag.

I simply must relax in there as I do in sparring and not let the pressure of being center stage unnerve me to the point of gagging.
