What makes Rival a reliable brand for shin guards?

Rival is known worldwide as one of the most respected brands in the boxing and martial arts world. The same quality standard that Rival applies to its boxing gloves—premium materials, strict quality control, and extensive product testing—also applies to its shin guards.

What is the difference between MMA shin guards and kickboxing shin guards?

MMA shin guards such as the Rival SH20 are more compact and lighter than kickboxing shin guards - they provide protection during stand-up work without getting in the way during ground work and grappling. Kickboxing shin guards are larger and have more padding, ideal for intense sparren with lots of leg work but less suitable for the mat.

How should a shin guard fit?

A shin guard must fit properly around the shin to provide the most effective protection and mobility. A shin guard consists of a safety kick and a shin protector. The part that protects the shin should start just above the ankle and end just below the knee. Ideally, the upper strap should sit on the calf, as placing it in the back of the knee can cause irritation or pain.

Can I wash my shin guards?

No.

This is strongly discouraged. It’s best to clean them with a cloth and, if necessary, use a care spray to keep them fresh.

Can I use Rival shin guards on the punching bag?

Yes.

This is possible if you quickly develop bruises or pain in your shins.

Using shin guards on the bag does leave “scuffmarks” (stains and smudges) on the shin guards.
