Shin Guards Protection - MMA Workout Gears

Posted by Zdot on Feb 14, 2008

Leg block or even kicking in a punching bag is extremely painful. You need to build resistance in your legs in order to thicken the bones and slowly transform your legs into a lethal weapon…

You can’t do that right off the bat and expect to be the new Muay Thai kicker after a few months of practice. I know what I’m talking about. I stopped Muay Thay after the first leg block against a trained Thai boxer who was working his legs against telephone poles and was real happy about himself. I couldn’t walk for a week and, 10 years later, I still have a bump on my leg. ;-)

That’s why you have to protect yourself at every workout. All the pro MMA or Muay Thai fighters have sore legs for weeks after their fights, “just” after a 15 minutes bout. Imagine what their legs would be if they hadn’t been wearing shin guards at every workout. They’d be handicapped.

Tap Out produced flashy designed shin guards, military oriented, to suit the young’s fashion. There are also more basic oriented shin guards that offer the same kind of protection.
