Shop karate shin guards for sparring and competition training at Martial Imports — foam, shell, and hybrid shin protectors for karate kumite and contact drilling from RDX.

Karate shin guards are lighter and lower-profile than Muay Thai or MMA models — designed for the fast stepping-and-striking movement of karate rather than sustained leg-kick exchanges. WKF kumite format uses foam shin guards that allow rapid footwork while absorbing lower-body impact from leg sweeps and kicks. Adjustable straps keep the guard in place during the dynamic lateral movement that characterizes competition-style karate.

RDX karate shin guards are available in foam and shell constructions, individually and as part of complete WKF-style sparring sets. Reversible red/blue competition designs available. Sizes from XS through XL. Free shipping on all orders from Martial Imports.
