Shop boxing belly guards and abdominal protectors at Martial Imports — body shields for trainers and coaches absorbing body shots, and sparring body protectors for two-person drills, from RDX.

A belly guard is designed for pad holders who absorb repeated body shots from athletes working power combinations. Unlike a standard groin guard, a belly guard extends coverage across the full abdominal area — from below the chest to the groin — allowing trainers to feed realistic body work without absorbing full impact on their core. The outer shell deflects and distributes impact; the foam inner layer absorbs what remains.

Belly guards are also used in specific sparring drills where one partner works exclusively on body offense — an essential component of building timing and accuracy for short hooks, uppercuts, and body kicks. For Muay Thai and kickboxing training, a model that covers the rib and liver area (not just the abdominals) is preferable to a standard boxing model. Free shipping on all orders.
