Are the RDX WAKO T1 Shin Instep Guards officially WAKO approved?

Yes — the T1 Shin Instep Guards are WAKO (World Association of Kickboxing Organizations) approved for competition. The red colourway is the standard competition colour for one corner in WAKO bouts. Always verify current approval status with your specific event organizer before competing.

What is the difference between the T1 and the T2 WAKO shin guards?

The T1 uses Super Skin leather with a combined 20mm + 8mm padding over high-impact areas, plus a 12mm padded instep. The T2 uses PU leather with 20mm base padding only. The T1 provides more comprehensive, layered protection — the better choice for full-contact competition and hard training.

How do I choose the right size?

Sized S through XL by height and weight. S suits fighters up to 150 lbs; M suits 150–175 lbs; L suits 175–200 lbs; XL suits 200 lbs and above. When between sizes, go up for more secure shin coverage during competition exchanges.

Can these be used for Muay Thai training as well as kickboxing competition?

Yes — the T1’s layered padding and padded instep provide solid protection for Muay Thai sparring, kickboxing, and MMA striking work. For heavy Muay Thai sparring with full-force low kicks, a full-back guard such as the Hayabusa T3 Full Back Shin Guards provides additional calf coverage the T1 does not include.
