These shinguards aren’t for sparring 

99% of the video is just waffling. I know you want more watch time but bro, have mercy on us.

I personally use the venum kontact evo shinguards, so i can gradually condition my shins, for combination-based training with partners and the venum elite for sparring.

I’ve used my top king shin guards for a few months and they are amazing they feel brand new and I wear them for hours against top fighters

Can confirm, busted my foot a good while ago and only just now getting my confidence back in kicking with the right leg. Definitely will not go back to my old shinguards.

i really like the sock style shin guards. but i hear you because i did catch a elbow today in training and it wasnt my favorite. They are actually a cheap pair i bought from a traditional martial arts store, which has since closed. The reason i use them is because in my mind, they force me to be honest with my training and i can get some kind of feedback from the kick.. i dont spar really, not anymore, im too old for that shit, so i dont think i need the leather style guards. i also dont go ham with my kicks so its not like im being a douche with my partner lol. i have used the leather style but they all seem to dig into the back of my legs or spin out of position. I have sports taped them to keep them from spinning , but i havent found a way for them to be comfortable.

Venom elites over everything. I have thick boy calves so i appreciate the really thick overlay straps rather than hook and loop that don't always fit and no metal rings to catch you on calf kicks.

Hi, I currently have high density shin guards for kickboxing, soon I will start practicing mma, which shin guards do you recommend for light mma sparring, I have seen the venum kontact, rdx glove inside or rdx giant inside neoprene, thx for the video :)

Are you familiar with Superare's shin guards??? Have you heard good things?? I have their gloves and like them so was looking into them thank you!

Thank you

Whats your take on Yakkao Shin gaurds and gloves? They are currently 30% off. Im new to Muay Thai and lisen to your podcast.

Hi Jonathan & fellow MT practitioners, Jonathan, you’ve got me WORRIED, man! I’ve been using Hayabusa’s T3 full back shin guards ($170 Canadian) for 1 year (drills 2x/week). I haven’t used any other shin guards, so I have no basis of comparison. I’ve hit shin-on-shin Hard a few times, & it’s a dull pain, which dissipates (normal?). Moderate impacts I don’t feel. Construction on these Hayabusa T3s seem good. Materials are decent. Padding is thick & adequate (Maybe?). Tops of feet are well covered, even toes. Fit is slightly clunky, but tolerable (I Wish companies made Custom-measured shin pads!!) Even With a full back stretch sleeve, and a Velcro strap under the knee, I STILL have to push the Foot pads back into place at times. (I chose the Hyb T3 specifically BECAUSE on the back sleeve …. I figured they wouldn’t move at all …. Nope….the feet still move a bit.... the shins stay in place, though)….I seem to have good mobility in them, & can get kicks off relatively quickly. *** JONATHAN, Will I need new shinguards for Intense Sparring (fight camp) ?? The T3 is advertised for Muay Thai and MMA ….. MMA fighters deliver muay Thai-style kicks, so wouldn’t the Hyb T3 perform OK ?? (…. I guess I’ll find out soon enough ?? !!! ) IF I need to buy another pair, at least they’ll all be Cheaper than Hayabusa…. (Rival $150, Fairtex $100-120, Venum $100, etc., all in Canadian $$). Good luck to you all in your training : ))

Do you think is better /yokkao shin guard than hayabusa shin guard?

I lost my Fairtext SP7s last week and had them for at least 7 years. Did not really spar much till like 2 years ago. They were amazing. Decided to say fuck it try out Hayabusa after reading and checking out aging guards. First impression of the T3 LX in crimson was VERY disappointing. They were fucking flat dawg. When I put them one they are so wide it’s ridiculous. They need breaking in. They have NO sense of solidity. Wish I had gotten the Top Kings instead or another Fairtext. But I did spar with them, and dam they were every thing they were advertised as. I never had to adjust them at all which is one of main reasons I bought them. I guess I’ll give ‘em a chance

Combat Corner HMIT Shin Guards are my current go to shin pads for MT. I'm on my second pair and ready to replace them... I've used Top King Gloves for over a decade and couldn't recommend their gloves any more highly. What is something new to try in a shin pad aside from Combat Corner and Top King?

what do you think about yokkaos’s one?

Thoughts on boons stuff?

My fave shin guards are yokkao. They don't have the buckle so they don't shift when someone kicks really hard

i use these types of shin guards every day.. not a problem bros yappin for no reason yeah they don’t have the best padding but they don’t move an inch during sparring.

What do you people think about Venum Elite shinguards?

Yh I injured my foot, caught someone’s elbow, I wear hayabusa shin guards and the elbow slipped between the padding on my foot then crack.

Hayabusa t3 full back shinguards do you have any expirience with those?

Normal muay thai shin guard are really hard to wrestle and grapple in

Decha shinguards is way better

Yakkao is made in Thailand and u do what art that came from where let that sink
