Yes.

If you have bruises or sore shins, using shin guards is an option.

Using shin guards on a punching bag does leave “scuff marks” (stains, streaks, and smudges) on the shin guards and punching bag.

The story of XPRT Fight Gear begins in 2005. An enthusiastic martial artist and entrepreneur has been dreaming for years of a shop full of the finest fighting gear, available and accessible to everyone.

Through personal experiences in the form of training camps, seminars, competitions, and research, he gained a clear vision of how to offer martial arts, combat sports, and martial arts equipment to a broader audience in the new millennium.

With extensive experience in Thai boxing, boxing, karate, and especially ITF Taekwon-do, Fight2Win takes its first steps toward a complete product range. Initially, this consisted exclusively of ITF Taekwon-do uniforms and safety equipment under the Taekwon-do.nl brand and website.

Then came the slogan: Fight2WinAnd eventually, with the help of other martial artists and graphic designers, a logo and name emerged for a groundbreaking and affordable martial arts brand: XPRT Fight Gear!

With intensive use, most good shin guards last approximately 1 to 1.5 years. After that, most shin guards are due for replacement.

The lifespan naturally depends on several factors: maintenance, the quality of the materials used, and the type of training. Cheaper shin guards will not last this long.

Heavy bag training shortens the lifespan of shin guards by an average of six months.

The elastic straps are a vulnerable point on every pair of shin guards. This material naturally stretches over time. It is therefore important to put on your shin guards carefully and not pull hard on the elastic straps.

A hook-and-loop closure is used in various products in our range, such as punching mitts, belly pads, headgear, and shin guards.

This type of closure is most commonly found on shin guards. Hook and loop means pulling a strap through a buckle or loop and then bringing it back to tighten it.

Key benefits:

• Adjustable fit: Hook-and-loop closures provide a precise fit, accommodate different calf sizes, and ensure that the shin guard stays securely in place during movement.
• Ease of use: These closures are easy to fasten, making them convenient for quick adjustments, especially during training.
• Secure closure: When properly fastened, hook-and-loop closures provide a secure and reliable fit, preventing the shin guards from shifting or slipping during sports.
• Durability: High-quality hook-and-loop closures, such as those on the Twins SGL7 shin guards, are often reinforced with multiple rows of stitching for extra durability and can withstand frequent use.

Ideally, a shin guard should extend exactly to just below your knee However, we consider it at least equally important that the shin guard does not fit too loosely around your legs. So even if it does not reach all the way to the knee, if it fits well otherwise, we consider that. 

more important (read: better) than choosing a larger size. A

too large shin guard is an obstruction and will also start to slide more easily, which is very annoying during training.The foot section should at least cover the top of your instep, but some brands extend it over the entire foot. That is not necessary. So if your

toes stick out —as is the case with the Twins SGL7, for example—that is perfectly fine . After all, you should not kick with your toes either.A kickboxing shin guard should fit snugly around your shin, from just below the knee to above the ankle, and should not be too loose or too tight. It should fully cover your shin for optimal protection without restricting your movement.
