Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these elbow pads WAKO approved for competition?
Yes — the RDX WAKO Reversible Elbow Protectors are WAKO (World Association of Kickboxing Organizations) approved. The reversible red/blue design means one pair covers both competition corners without needing two separate products.
- Why do kickboxing rules require elbow pads?
Elbow pads reduce the risk of lacerations from accidental elbow contact during point-fighting bouts. The 25mm EVA foam cushions impact and presents a softer striking surface, protecting both you and your opponent from cuts during competition.
- How do I choose the right size?
Sizes run S through XL and correspond to weight class. S suits fighters up to around 60kg; M suits 60–75kg; L suits 75–90kg; XL suits 90kg and above. The elasticated polyester construction provides a secure fit across this range without slipping during fast exchanges.
- Can these be used for general training as well as competition?
Yes — the lightweight construction and elastic fit make these practical for regular sparring and pad work. They are thin enough not to interfere with technique while providing meaningful impact protection for training sessions.
