How to choose your MMA shin guards based on your practice.
In combat sports like MMA, leg protection is essential. Whether amateur or professional, the choice of shin guards depends on the type of practice: leisure, intensive training, sparring, or competition. For occasional use, simple models made of elastic cotton are sufficient, combining lightness and comfort. Conversely, regular practitioners or competitors will prefer more rigid models, made of injected foam and PU, for enhanced protection against repeated impacts.

Size guide to choose the right MMA shin guards
The right size guarantees not only comfort but also the effectiveness of the shin guard. Too small, it compresses and limits movement. Too large, it slips or rotates. Metal Boxe offers most of its models in sizes ranging from XXS to XL. Here is a general guideline: XXS to S for children or teenagers, M for average sizes, L to XL for large sizes. It is recommended to measure the length of the shin and follow the guides provided on the product sheets.
