Martial Arts Sparring Gears!

Are you learning your choice of martial arts? Congratulations on your choice and choose the most useful gears to know your skill better.

Helmet:
A sparring helmet is essential for ensuring a complete protection of your head from strikes and falls. For being a very useful equipment, it needs to be lightweight and foam. Make sure you get the right size by measuring the circumference of your head before you buy. A helmet for sparring with weapons will be heavier and usually have a face cage, throat guard, and ties in the back to fit any size head.

Chest Guard:
A chest guard is important in sparring to protect against blows to the solar plex and ribs. Without one there could be some pretty serious injuries. It should protect your entire front torso and sides, from your collar bones to your pelvic bones and around your sides.

Hand Guards:
The best sparring hand guards protect your hands and forearms. When blocking with your forearm it can start to sting without gear, or worse. Machine washable hand guards are best.
