MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) is a combat sport that involves a combination of various fighting styles, including striking, grappling, and wrestling. Due to the intense nature of the sport, fighters are required to wear protective gear to prevent injuries. One such essential piece of protective gear is the MMA shin guard.
MMA shin guards are available in various sizes, shapes, and styles, each designed to cater to a specific type of fighter for kickboxing and boxing. The most common types of shin guards include the traditional, slip-on, and strap-on.
Traditional shin guards have a hard exterior shell made of durable plastic or leather, which covers the front of the shin. They offer excellent protection against high-impact strikes but can be cumbersome and uncomfortable for some fighters.
Slip-on shin guards are more flexible and comfortable, as they are made of neoprene and have soft foam padding. They are designed to be slipped on like a sock, and their flexible nature allows them to conform to the shape of the fighter's leg. However, they offer less protection against high-impact strikes.
