Safety kicks

Safety kicks are mandatory in ITF Taekwon-do, WAKO kickboxing and all-style semi-contact competitions—and popular for sparring in karate, Tang Soo Do and other semi-contact disciplines. They protect both the attacker and the defender during kicking techniques targeting the torso and head.

Fight2Win offers safety kicks in various colours and sizes—from XS for the youngest athletes to XL for adults. Suitable for both training and competition.

The Safety Kicks are made of durable PU with one-mold foam padding - the foam layer is molded in one piece around the foot, without seams or weak spots. This provides even protection across the entire striking surface with every kicking technique.

Lightweight, so the speed of kicking techniques is not affected. The Cross-X hook-and-loop closure with long elastic provides quick on and off—convenient during training sessions where you regularly switch between protected and unprotected sparren.

In ITF Taekwon-do and WAKO competitions, the colors of the safety kicks are not arbitrary. Blue traditionally represents the defender, while red represents the attacker - this allows referees and judges to quickly distinguish between athletes during fast exchanges.

Black is the most neutral color and is widely used for training and sparring - it matches every dobok and training outfit. For competitions, it is advisable to check which colors the federation or organization requires.

Safety kicks are ordered by size, not shoe size. XS, S, M, L and XL As a guideline: XS for shoe sizes smaller than 34, S for 35–37, M for 38–41, L for 42–44, and XL for size 45 and above. Not sure? Choose the larger size for greater comfort.

The safety kick should fit snugly without restricting blood circulation—the elastic and hook-and-loop closure provide an adjustable fit suitable for different foot widths.

Safety kicks are also available for the youngest athletes—in sizes XS and S suitable for children from shoe size 28. Safe sparren starts with the right protection—even in youth competitions in ITF Taekwon-do and WAKO, safety kicks are mandatory.

The Safety Kicks are light enough not to slow down young athletes—and the hook-and-loop fastening is easy to put on and take off independently, even for children.

Safety kicks are part of a complete ITF Taekwon-do sparring setup. Combine them with Taekwon-do gloves, headgear, and a mouthguard for full protection during contact sparring—both in training and competitions.

Fight2Win has complete Taekwon-do sets for both adults and children—everything you need for safe sparren in one overview.
