Martial arts headgear, such as those often used in Taekwondo, are commonly made from modern foam. This headgear offers several advantages compared to other materials.

Main advantages of foam headgear:

• Lightweight
• Good impact distribution
• Durable coating
• Hygienic
• Easy to clean
• Quick to put on and take off

Martial arts such as karate, taekwondo, boxing, kickboxing, and MMA all involve some degree of contact to the head of the practitioners. Wearing a good headgear in these martial arts is essential for the safety of the practitioner.

We especially want to emphasize that good headgear not only provides good protection but also stays securely in place and is not a hindrance!

Functions of headgear:

• Protection against head injuries
• Protection of the eyes
• Increased confidence
• Training without hesitation
• Contributes to a safety culture (awareness of important protection)

This depends on the rules of your gym, sport, or competition/tournament you are participating in.

In many training environments (such as a gym or club) the use is optional. However, it has become increasingly mandatory in recent years due to safety and insurance company requirements.

Competitions and martial arts where headgear is mandatory:

• WT Taekwondo (youth and adults)
• ITF Taekwon-do (youth and adults)
• Amateur boxing (youth and adults)
• Kickboxing (youth up to 17 years)
• Karate (youth up to 13 years)
• Amateur Sanda/Sanshou (youth and adults)

We usually do two things in our showroom:

1. Quickly shake your head back and forth
2. Tap all around the headgear. Preferably with a bit of sliding technique to create friction.

If the headgear hardly moves and at the same time doesn’t pinch, then you have the right size!
