Specific features

+ Leather & microfibres – 15 mm foam padding

Made of leather and microfiber with 15 mm thick foam padding for effective protection of the groin and kidneys during boxing training.
+ Hook-and-loop closure

The hook-and-loop closure is the most commonly used closure in martial arts—and for good reason. It’s quick to put on, easy to adjust, and provides a secure, reliable fit without help from someone else.
The closure keeps the wrist stable during training and sparren, and remains just as effective after many sessions as it was on day one. Suitable for beginners and advanced athletes who value convenience without compromising support.
+ Lightweight

A lightweight construction means less fatigue during training—without compromising protection or durability. Less weight on your hands or head allows for faster movements, less muscle fatigue, and better technique during longer sessions.
Especially for boxers and kickboxers working on speed and endurance, weight is a factor that matters. Lightweight equipment lets you train harder and longer without the gear slowing you down.

Rival - Designed in Canada

In 2003, Russ Anber Rival Boxing Gear founded it—not as a businessman, but as someone who had spent decades in the gym and knew exactly what was lacking in the equipment available. He began innovating, patenting, and building, permanently changing the boxing world with patented designs in gloves, punching mitts, and handwraps.

“My gift was the ability to coach, break things down, analyze and make people understand how things work.” — Russ Anber

Yes, usually.

A groinguard is often mandatory or recommended. For boxing, kickboxing, and karate training, for example, it is recommended. In krav maga and self-defense systems, it is mandatory. The area protected by the groinguard is, of course, highly vulnerable to injury.

During exams and competitions, a groinguard is always mandatory for both men and women.

Yes and no.

This depends on the brand and model. You can almost never wash the cup (the hard part), nor do you need to. Most regular groinguards are built into a kind of sports brief (jockstrap). You can remove the cup and wash the brief.

The larger kidney and groinguards (No-Foul) designed for boxing obviously cannot be washed in a washing machine either. This really shouldn’t be necessary. You can simply wipe them down and dry them to keep them fresh.

Naturally, you can’t wash the steel groinguards either. The metal is not designed to withstand this.

What size groinguard should I get?

When choosing the size of groinguards, the main consideration is waist circumference rather than the cup size itself. For each groinguard, we have included a unique size chart (in the size selector and below in the product information) for that specific brand and model.
