Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose MMA shin guards?

When picking MMA shin guards, make sure to measure the length of your legs and feet. Compare those measurements to the dimensions of the MMA shin guards you are interested in.

What is the difference between MMA and Muay Thai shin guards?
