Booster Fight Gear G8 Groinguards

The Booster G8 Groinguard is the cup for men that combines comfort and protection—with an elastic waistband that feels like regular underwear and a removable plastic cup that protects the most vulnerable area.

G8 vs. Steel BG3—which groinguard should you choose?

The G8 has a plastic cup in an elastic waistband—comfortable for daily training, easy to put on and take off, and washable. The Steel BG3 has a steel cup with a leather finish, secured with laces—the most substantial protection available, mandatory at professional organizations such as Enfusion and One Championship. Choose the G8 for training and the Steel BG3 for competitions where a steel cup is mandatory.

Removable cup—washable and hygienic

The plastic cup is removable—the jockstrap (the underwear) can then simply be washed in the washing machine. The wide, comfortable elastic keeps the groinguard securely in place during training, including during fast movements and ground fighting.

In almost all martial arts—kickboxing, Muay Thai, taekwondo—techniques targeting the groin are prohibited, but accidents can happen. In competitions, a cup for men is almost always mandatory. Available in M, L and XL.

In addition to our webshop, you can also purchase all Booster groinguards at our showroom in Waddinxveen.

Specific features

+ 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.

Booster - leading brand in Muay Thai and kickboxing

Booster bvba is one of the largest distributors worldwide of Muay Thai and kickboxing products. Booster sponsors hundreds of fighters in Thailand and beyond and supports gyms, training camps, and youth projects in Thailand.
