Shin Guards
Shin Guards are a basic requirement at many gyms for anyone training in Muay Thai. Beyond Muay Thai, for many combat sports that involve kicks, these can be a vital bit of gear. Unlike gyms where you may be able to borrow a pair of gloves, it’s not common to find gyms lending out shin guards.
There are many advantages to grabbing your own pair either way, whether that be from the gear shop at your gym, to an online fight shop. Hygiene for one, you choose how clean your shin protectors will be and when to wash or spray them. After all it’s only your sweat with your own set. Secondly you choose the fit, price, and brand. Looking for a cheap pair to get by doing the basics, that’s your choice. Or if you’re a fully fledged professional you may be seeking something with specific coverage, weight or feel.
The purpose of shin guards is primarily to protect your own legs, and as a secondary means to protecting your sparring partners and opponents. A check to the wrong part of your foot or leg without adequate coverage and you will be limping your way through training. Staying at 100%, or as close as you can, is important for any athlete. Shin Guards can help you achieve this through dispersing the impact.
