In kickboxing, Muay Thai and MMA, shin guards are as compulsory as gloves. They protect the shin and instep from repeated impacts when kicking and checking, and also protect the leg of the partner receiving the kicks. The RDX range covers every discipline: MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and WAKO and IMMAF competition. Order before 12:00 for same-day dispatch from Meyrin and delivery in 1 to 2 working days.

Yes, as soon as kicks are part of sparring. They protect your shin from impacts and avoid injuring your partner when checking kicks. In IMMAF competition, approved models are mandatory.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure from the bottom of the knee to the ankle. Refer to the size guide on each product page. A shin guard that is too big slips during sparring; too small, and it doesn't cover enough.
How do I look after my shin guards?
Wipe down after every session. Air out before storing. Disinfect once a week. Never store them damp in a closed bag.
