Blue Sock Shinguards
Shin guards in contact sports are considered to be the most important protection because they protect the tibial area of the leg, the instep and, in some models, the ankles and knees.
In the case of Muay Thai, the most commonly used are the rigid ones, which have a padding with great absorption capacity both in the tibial area and in the instep, providing greater protection.
Another identifying feature is the back closure, which may be elastic or made of the same material as the rest of the shin guard.
Beyond some specific differences, shin guards are multi-purpose, meaning that they can be used for most contact sports; so much so that one model of shin guard can be used for Muay Thai and also for MMA.
To deliver a direct or a uppercut in a fight against your opponent or do a boxing training, you must get boxing gloves, a punching bag, a pao, some mittens and possibly a bib. In addition, to to launch a powerful and decisive kick in the boxing ring, you need to get some good boxing shoes and shin guards.
