Shin guards

Shin guards - which ones to choose?

When selecting tibia and foot protectors, the main considerations should be their quality and functionality. In the case of combat sports, the most important thing is effective protection against the force of an opponent's blow or the effect of one's own blows that prove to be off target. Areas that need special protection are the tibias and feet, i.e. those parts of the body that are prone to injury from receiving blows, as well as from taking them out.

The foot and tibia protectors available in the DBX Bushido store in the strike zone have a thick foam that effectively cushions the force of the opponent's kicks. In contrast, models designed for combat sports, where ground fighting is allowed, contain a slightly smaller amount of foam, guaranteeing full freedom of movement and comfort when moving on the first floor and use of first floor techniques.

Tibia and foot protectors available from DBX Bushido

Our offer abounds in a very wide range of shin guards, which are characterized by different properties and made of different materials, all in order to meet the expectations of the widest possible group of combat sports players.

• Flexible tibia protectors - the flexible MMA tibia protectors available in our offer are an excellent compromise between quality and price, so they are intended for beginners who are getting used to combat sports training. They are lightweight and well-fitted to the foot, and while they provide slightly less cushioning than rigid shin and foot protectors, they work well for beginner training and semi-contact fights.
  
  
• Anatomical tibia protectors - kickboxing and other full-contact combat sports require the use of highly cushioned and anatomically shaped tibia protectors during professional and advanced training sessions. All models are made of high-density foam, so that despite their low weight, they guarantee a really high degree of cushioning of impact forces. The foams that we have used in our protectors are resistant to clumping and deformation, which means that even with intensive use they retain their properties and shape for a long period of time. Thanks to their anatomical shape, they stay well on the leg and do not move when receiving and delivering kicks.
• MMA tibia protectors - In this combat sport, kicks are rarer than in Thai boxing, for example. Much of the clash may take place at the first floor, hence the tibia protectors for MMA are characterized by a slightly thinner design, which in no way restricts the movements of the fighter m.in. just in the middle of a ground fight. Since in the parterre the tibia protectors could slide and thus protect the shins less well, they are not fastened with Velcro, but rely on a comfortable sock that prevents them from sliding on the leg.

The foot and tibia protectors available in our offer are available in different sizes, so that in the DBX Bushido store the right protectors can be found for athletes with different physical parameters. The protectors come in a variety of designs, so you can choose one that best suits the nature of your combat sport.

Why shin guards are so important?

Types of tibia protectors

• Kickboxing tibia protectors - designed specifically to meet the needs of kickboxers, they often have extra protection at the top of the foot to protect against injury during kicks.
• MMA tibia protectors - while similar to kickboxing protectors, they tend to be a bit more compact and offer better mobility, which is key in mixed sports.
• Boxing tibia protectors - focus mainly on shin protection, often have extra padding for maximum safety during boxing training.

Choosing the right protectors

Before buying kickboxing, MMA or boxing shin guards, it is worth noting their size, material of construction and method of attachment. The ideal protectors should fit snugly on the shin, not slip and provide protection from any impact.
