Groinguard boxing Rival RNFL10-360 D3O

Rival Boxing Gear was founded in Canada in the early 2000s and has since experienced steady growth in the world of martial arts, with a focus on classic boxing. The company was founded by Russ Anber, a prominent name in the boxing world.

Anber, a respected boxing trainer and coach, had deep knowledge of what fighters needed to improve their skills and excel in the ring. With this background and expertise, he aimed to produce high-quality gear that would meet the needs of fighters.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Intelli-Shock D3O™ is the best shock-absorbing padding in the world.

Rival Boxing Gear was the first, and is currently the only, company in the boxing or MMA world to use it.

How effective is Intelli-Shock? You get the same protection with about a quarter inch (6 mm) or an eighth inch (3 mm) of Intelli-Shock padding as with about one inch (25 mm) of other padding. This is because it uses Intelligent Shock Absorption™, a patented shock-absorbing material developed with Intelligent Molecules.

At low speeds, the molecules in D3O™ flow freely, making it soft and flexible, while at high speeds the molecules lock together to form an excellent shock absorber. D3O™ provides significantly more protection than conventional foams, making it the perfect solution to enhance the internal protection of equipment and accessories.

The Rival RB10 Intelli-shock bag gloves, which use this technology, harden on impact and reduce not only the amount of energy transferred to the body by 40%*. This means there is a drastic reduction in stress upon impact, but the glove is also about 38% lighter than regular bag gloves with gel technology available on the market.

D3O® is an innovative material with extreme shock absorption! Unlike other padding materials, D3O® maintains its durable performance throughout the lifespan of, for example, boxing gloves. It is also used in protective clothing for defense and extreme sports, such as ice hockey.
