MMA Training Gear (Shin Guards)

freemember05 · 05-14-2006, 05:45 PM

I'm trying to get all the gear to safetly spar in MMA. I do a lot of training and want to make sure I do everything right so I don' risk injury since I'm very busy. So far from what I've been told the CSI and Shooto training gloves are good training gloves... I was wondering if you guys had any other reccomendations of equiptment to get. Any advice on a good pair of shin/instep guards. I saw theses http://www.scientificstreetfighting....07&product=229 ... was told everlast has some good ones. Just hoping someone out there had some advice maybe if you got a good setup yourself. Would appreciate the input...

Thanks

Bonecrusher has a good review of these up in the gear and equipment forum. he seems to love them and I bought a pair on his recommendation

I like The little cloth ones better. They dont offer as much, but they will toughen up your shins.

^^ I agree with him on the shin part. thats what I use most of the time.

Well have any of you used these CSI ones and found them to have too much padding. I read some reviews and some mentioned them to be rather thin. I want to build my shins up as well as protect them but I don't want to have too much padding. Also does anyone know how the sizing works on these. I'm about 6 ft 170....
