Boxing and kickboxing gear

Protecting the Fighter

In boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai or MMA, protective gear allows for training and fighting while limiting injuries. They are essential during sparring, training sessions, and often mandatory in amateur competitions. The choice of gear depends on the discipline: boxing focuses on the face and torso, while kickboxing also exposes the shins and feet.

The Headgear

The headgear protects the head and face during sparring. The open training headgear, like the Metal Boxe in PU, provides good visibility; the semi-full with cheek protection, and full headgear, featuring a forehead bar, offer more protection. The adidas IBA headgear, approved by the international amateur boxing federation, is accepted in competitions. The Leone DNA, from the Italian combat sports brand founded in 1947, and the children's headgear Metal Boxe complete the range.

Shins, Feet and Groin Protection

For kickboxing, shin guards absorb low kicks and blocks: made from elastic cotton, like the Metal Boxe, lightweight, or from rigid foam with Velcro, like the Booster, a Dutch brand, and Fairtex, a renowned Thai boxing brand. The Kwon Phantom and adidas Full Contact foot protectors shield the instep. The groin guard and the cup, which are mandatory, along with the mouthguard, complete the gear. It's important to air out your protective gear after each session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size shin guards should I choose?

Measure the length from below the knee to the instep, then refer to the brand's size guide. The shin guard should cover the entire shin without hindering knee flexion.

Training headgear or semi-full: what's the difference?

The open training headgear protects the forehead, temples, and cheeks while maintaining good visibility. The semi-full headgear, like those from Metal Boxe, offers more coverage of the cheekbones and chin for more intense sparring.

Is a certified headgear required for competition?

Depending on the federation and category, a certified headgear may be required, such as the adidas certified IBA headgear. Check the regulations of your competition before equipping yourself.

Which shin guards for Muay Thai?

Choose a model that covers the shin and instep, to absorb and deliver low kicks. Fairtex, a Thai brand, and Booster offer dense and well-secured protections.

What mouthguard should I choose for boxing?

A thermoformable mouthguard, molded to your jaw, stays in place without being tight and allows breathing. The Nike model suits most boxers; a specific model is needed if you have braces.
