For women and men practicing martial arts, good protection of the groin is important. Of course, it is also important to buy a good cup. Groinguards and cups are worn in krav maga, boxing, kickboxing, MMA, karate, and taekwondo.
Shock Doctor groinguard protection: the very best protection
The groinguards from this innovative brand come in several variants for women and men. The brand is known for protection and safety at the highest level.
For this reason, the brand is embraced and praised by martial artists, as well as practitioners of contact sports like hockey, ice hockey, and rugby.
Shock Doctor offers different types of groinguards for women and men. These range from jock-straps with removable cups to separate insert protectors and models with accompanying (compression) trousers.
One of the most popular groinguards in our range is the Ultra SD329. We would strongly recommend this for its level of protection and comfort. Another model we highly value is the version with compression trousers. Thanks to this tight short, the cup always stays securely in place, even during MMA and ground fighting.
Shock Doctor is the undisputed market leader in technology for mouthguards and groinguard protection. The innovation in performance-driven and protective materials is recognized by professional athletes and beginners in all contact sports.

Frequently Asked Questions — Shock Doctor groinguards
Why are groinguards in boxing so different from regular cups?
A "normal" cup only protects the groin. A no-foul protector in boxing protects the kidneys, liver, and groin.
In boxing, the chance of getting hit in the liver or kidneys is much greater than in kickboxing. Therefore, extra protection is needed here to minimize the risk of injuries and damage.
Is a groinguard mandatory?
Yes, usually.
A groinguard is often required or recommended. For boxing, kickboxing, and karate training, for example, it is recommended. For krav maga and self-defense systems, it is required. The area that the groinguard protects is, of course, very sensitive to injuries.
For exams and competitions, a groinguard is always required for both men and women.
Can you wash groinguards and headgear?
Yes and no.
This depends on the brand and model. The cup (the hard part) can and almost never needs to be washed. Most regular groinguards come in a kind of sports shorts (jockstrap). You can then remove the cup and wash the shorts.
The larger kidney and groinguards (No-Foul) designed for boxing obviously cannot be washed in a washing machine. This is actually not necessary. However, you can simply wipe them down and dry them to keep them fresh.
You obviously cannot wash the steel cups either. The metal is not resistant to this.
What size groinguard should I choose?
When it comes to the size of groinguards, it is mainly about the waist circumference and not so much the size of the cup itself. For each groinguard, we have a unique size chart (for size selection and below in the product information) provided for that specific brand and model.
Shock Doctor has grown from the undisputed leader in Mouthguard technology to the leading innovator in sports protection worldwide. Our belief in combining design and technology to achieve better protection and performance is now trusted by fearless athletes across a growing range of products and sports, from youth to amateur to pro.
In addition to mouthguards, Shock Doctor is also pioneering in protecting crucial and vital parts of the body. They make the best toks and groinguards for men and women. These are used in intensive martial arts, such as boxing and kickboxing, but also in other contact sports like ice hockey, field hockey, and rugby!
