sparring gear

Practice fight protection

Sparring gear is the protective equipment worn during practice fighting in martial arts and combat sports.

A typical set includes padded gloves, headgear, a mouthguard, and a chest protector, with additional pieces like shin guards or groin protectors depending on the discipline.

The gear allows practitioners to train at realistic intensity while minimizing injury risk.

Make sure your sparring gear fits properly before class.
