Best Martial Arts Shin Guards of 2025

“I find these shinguards awesome! They look and feel great while providing excellent protection for my shins and my partner. The sturdy material and fantastic padding really stand out. I purchased them in black, and they pair perfectly with my Fairtex BVG1 gloves. I’ll definitely be buying another pair when these wear out!”

“Having used these for a few weeks now, I can say they work great! They fit well, are of sturdy quality, and I highly recommend them!”

“I bought these as my first shin guards after starting Muay Thai. I initially thought they were bulky, but after using them for sparring, my opinion changed. They stay in place during intense training and offer fantastic protection. I've used them for three weeks, and there's not a single sign of wear. I’m 182 cm tall and weigh 93 kg, and the Large size fits me perfectly.”

"These fit my skinny 11-year-old son really well. He's been using them for about two weeks now and says they're comfortable and offer good protection. So far, they seem like a durable product. I personally appreciate that they're not too bulky!"

"My son just started MMA training, and we were told these are great for beginners and intermediate fighters. They fit well, though after about 4 weeks, the elastic has started to stretch and the fabric is pilling like a sweater after washing. However, they provide solid protection to the shins and ankles, and my son hasn't complained about any leg injuries. The padding is strong and fairly thick. I'd definitely recommend them as they're a great value for the cost!"

"I teach kids' classes and train myself, and I was able to wear these for 5 hours without any discomfort. You do feel them a little more than full-size shinguards, but it's not unbearable. I love these and wear them at least 2 out of 4 days I train or teach."

"These shin pads provide excellent protection without being overly thick. They fit snugly, which is great for training MMA as they don't shift around much."

"I find these Elite shin pads to be very comfortable and easy to wear. The foam is dense and durable, and they cover my shins well, even during sparring sessions."

"I appreciate the design of these shin guards. They offer great protection while allowing me to move easily. I’m 5'5” and weigh 150 lbs, and while the small size fits snugly, I might consider going up a size next time."

“I’ve only worn my new shin pads three times, and I absolutely love the feel and weight. My only concern is that the elastic straps at the bottom are starting to rip and feel a bit loose. Other than that, I really enjoy the overall product!”

“My son is thrilled with these shin guards! He mentions they stay in place throughout his training sessions without slipping, and they are extremely comfortable for his thin legs. So far, they have worked great, although he has only used them three times.”

“After a year of intense training with the RDX shin guards, I’m still impressed with their quality and durability. The thick padding effectively absorbs impacts, and even after tough sessions, they remain intact. The adjustable straps keep them secure, allowing me to focus without disruptions.”

"I'm 5'1 and have tiny calves, and these fit great. No more bruises in Muay Thai! Occasionally, the guard shifts a bit if I don't tighten them enough while kicking."

"I replaced my old shin guards with these and noticed they're not bad at all. Everyone in sparring has been kicking me extra hard to test them out! They seem to hold up well, and many have been impressed by the quality for the price."

"I initially bought a cheaper pair that didn’t last, but after researching, I found these shin guards had excellent reviews. The padding and Velcro are top-notch, and I've not felt any pain during training sessions! Mine arrived in perfect condition."

"I find this product to be durable enough for my daily sparring sessions. As someone involved in martial arts, I need gear that can handle intense workouts, and this has surprisingly held up well. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their training equipment."

"These shin guards are significantly better than foam ones! After dealing with painful bruises from my old guards, I decided to invest in these. It was totally worth it, and I encourage others to spend a little more initially to avoid the hassle of healing from injuries!"

"I bought a small pair for my 7-year-old, who is 4'4” and weighs 60 lbs. They are a little long for him, but he appreciates the quality and feels more confident while sparring. The top strap is a bit short, which feels tight for him, but the middle strap is long and doesn't adjust well. Still, his confidence with these guards is worth it!"

"I was advised to go cheap on my first shin guards, and I found these RDX's to be fantastic. They fit perfectly, provide great protection, and most importantly, they stay in place during sparring. I didn't need to adjust them even once!"

"After trying various brands, I can confidently say these are the best shin guards I've used. They are comfortable and breathable, and I love that they don't shift around when I kick. They're lightweight, so I hardly notice them!"

"While the quality is good, I did notice a gap by my foot and shin that can be problematic. I had a sore experience after a kick landed in that area. If you're sparring, consider more sturdy options."

"I recently started using these shin guards for my MMA training, and they have been a game-changer for me. I bruise easily, so having these has been essential for my kicks on pads and the bag. They fit comfortably and securely, allowing me to move freely. I've been enjoying my training much more, knowing that I'm protected from bruises and injuries."

"I got these for my son who takes jujitsu classes. They fit true to size and are comfortable to wear. The material is of good quality, ensuring he can focus on his training without any distractions."

“I've been practicing Muay Thai for years, and I can tell you, these shin guards are a fantastic value. The quality is immediately evident with great stitching and durable yet lightweight materials. They fit perfectly and are incredibly comfortable. The Velcro straps keep them secure without being restrictive, and the padding is substantial enough to protect me during intense training sessions without compromising my mobility. They’ve held up wonderfully through heavy sparring, absorbing impacts well, and I love how easy they are to clean. I highly recommend these to anyone from beginners to seasoned fighters.”

“I’ve recently bought the Elite brand shin guards, and I am very pleased with my decision. They provide excellent protection and are super comfortable. The high-quality construction makes them durable, and I've used them in some intense matches without any signs of wear. I appreciate the sleek and slim profile, allowing for better mobility while still offering maximum protection. The adjustable straps ensure they stay in place, which is crucial during gameplay. Overall, I highly recommend these shin guards to anyone who plays soccer or participates in similar activities.”

“These MMA shin pads are a game changer for me! At 5'1" and around 135 lbs, the sm/md size was perfect. They offer top-notch protection, letting me train hard without worrying about injuries. The fit is snug yet comfortable, staying in place even during intense sessions. The padding is dense but not bulky, giving me the perfect balance of mobility and protection. I’m thrilled with these shin pads and would recommend them to any fighter looking to enhance their training.”
