Grappling-Muay Thai-kickboxing shin guards
In martial arts, there are 3 major types of shin guards: Grappling, kickboxing or striking and muay thai. Muay thai and MMA are both striking styles, while muay thai guards are more padded.
Grappling shin guards are designed to stay on when grappling and also provide padding when standing up. Grappling type have a tube or sock-like way of keeping them on. The only draw back for this design is that they can get very hot and they can also be hard to get on and off once they get wet. Many of the higher end guards come with a strap at the top of the calf to help tighten them.
The Muay Thai shin guards are built to take heavy hits. These guards almost always have a re-enforcement down the front of the guard. The way they are kept on is not concerned with the ground game. Two straps are all that keep them in place. The thing I don't like about these is that they are heavy and can feel bulky. As someone with a Taekwondo background- speed is important!
Striking style shin guards used in Kickboxing. Kickboxing shin guards are not as concerned with keeping the guard on when on the ground. One thing that still surprises me is this guards lack of re-enforcement along the front. I don't know what it is but, I always see people go cheap when it comes to kickboxing shin guards. They love the cloth covered guards that have about a quarter-inch of soft padding… Go figure!
I have some ideas for a hybrid MMA Style Shin guard. Wouldn't it be great to combine the added padding of muay thai with the sock of the grappling guards. A hybrid model would save you money and also save your shins. You can also train for striking and also train for grappling without having to change. Another feature I would add to the hybrid guard is padding around and above the knee. This added padding would allow for true leg-kick training.
