You get what you pay for...

ByDanielle Reyna-Tynanon January 31, 2014

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

These shin guards are okay, for the price... I train in muay thai and I don't feel they do that good at protecting the shins. They work good for temporary or light training, or for someone whose shins are already conditioned/hardened. Otherwise, if you are just starting to spar and have a long way to go with conditioning you should invest in some better shin guards. If you don't have the money these are a good alternative, just keep training light to moderate... meaning ask your partner to only kick at no more than 50% otherwise it could cause injury. I checked a kick with them on from someone who was kicking at probably 80% effort and my shin immediately swelled up. It felt like I wasn't even wearing a shin guard and it looked like a baseball was sticking out of my shin. It has been over 2 weeks and there is still a weird burning pain coming on my shin. I have had them for about 3 months, and other than that they work good.

Not good, not bad. . .

If you want to condition your shins quickly, get these. lol. Not much padding, and kind of a pain to slip on & off til' you break them in. Also, they have a little piece of leather sewed into the back that rides above the heel. I've found this to be a distraction, and a bit uncomfortable.

Regardless, I do like them. The don't twist or rotate, are light & for the most part comfortable. The biggest drawback with these neoprene sleeve types is that they tend to start to stink after some time as it's really hard to clean the insides. I've found that washing them tends to break them down, so my next pair won't be these, but my shins are stronger because of them.

Great Shin Protection

ByJ. Beckon June 3, 2014

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I practice Muay Thai, so I need something that offers solid protection against kicks slamming into my shins. After last weeks class I realized that my Venum "Kontact" Shin and Instep Guards, were fine for Tae Kwon Do sparring, but didn't offer the level of protection I needed in this class.

Today the Contender Fight Sports MMA Grappling Shin Guards (Black) arrived and after comparing them, I see they are a much tougher foam and have a stronger coating. These offer much greater protection and I have no fears about Sparring this week with these pads.

I am 6" tall and weight 265lbs (it's all in my belly, so my legs are well muscled, but not much more than average sized for a 6" tall person). I ordered a large and they are very snug, but not uncomfortable, if I was any taller, or if my legs were any thicker an XL would have been the way to go.

Those are not the shin pads you are looking for... Unless...

Bydubbioson June 25, 2017

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Ok, let's make this pretty simple: this sin pads are for grappling. I repeat, for grappling. NO for Muay Thai.

If you are looking for a cheap but amazingly good shin pads for using when grappling, this are for you.

If you are looking for a shin pads for Muay Thai: why are you looking at grappling shin pads?

I practice Muay Thai 4 times a week, and I don't wear this for that, I wear a 100$ pair of shin pads designed for Muay Thai.

Of course this are less padded that a Muay Thai shin pads, because is not designed for Muay Thai practicioners.

Now, I'm getting into MMA (two times per week), and I bought this as an entry level shin pads to use on MMA training/sparring because there is a complet different sport.

This shin pads are hard to put it on, and harder to remove; just because the the idea is that they stay put as you move and roll and grappling and whatever on the floor.

Once and again, I will recommend this for everybody looking for a pair of cheap yet good pair of grappling shin pads.

That being said I have to tell that I'm a 5'11/200 lb guy and the large ones are kind of tight on me, however I have fairly bulky legs.

These things are rated the best for MMA and they are cheap

ByShonte B.on March 21, 2016

Size: LargeColor: WhiteVerified Purchase

These things are rated the best for MMA and they are cheap! How does everyone not have them. I owned a pair for almost a year, and I couldn't be more happy with them. I had to order a new one because my sparring partners like to catch kicks for takedown, and they ripped the threading on the back sleeve part of the shin guards. I looked at it... thought about fixing it, and say... ah... forget it, I'll just buy a new on in a different color.

5'11" Great Fit

ByA. Suplemeon February 9, 2016

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase

These are awesome. I'm 5'11" (top of foot to bottom of knee is 17") with muscular calves (16" around at the meatiest part) and size large doesn't squeeze too tight and the length of coverage is great. They fit snug but not too tight, easier to shimmy off the legs after a sweaty workout than most sleeves. I like the sleeves more than the stiff board shin guards as they let me move more fluidly.

Put some cedar chips in a sock and put in the guards after a workout and it'll keep these fresh and dry.

Nice inexpensive shin guards

ByContractor Soonoon March 10, 2017

Size: RegularColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Nice inexpensive shin guards, but a little thin for harder sparring. If you are large and spar in a Muay Thai class, these may be a bit thin for you. They are nice and light and my kids use them, but the actual guards are only a thin single layer. For me, I get a bit bruised if I spar hard with these, I use thicker ones for sparring class. Overall a good product worth the price, just be aware of the thinner nature of the guard.

great but...

ByBob Mon January 22, 2014

Size: RegularColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought these because of the great Amazon reviews. I am taking Krav Maga so for regular classes with light sparring these are perfect. However, I tried using these for a kickboxing seminar and I was definitely on the losing end of kicks/blocks against harder shin guards.

As others mentioned, these don't slide (like other shin guards), are light and fit great - and I do have big calves. So great for light sparring but if you are planning on kickboxing, I might invest in a pair of more substantial shin guards.
