Just What To Obtain If You Shop For Sparring Gear
Both novices as well as experienced martial artists know the importance of the gear they use whenever they enter into a sparring session. When you acquire sparring gear you do not just walk into a store and start grabbing stuff from the shelves and pay for it. It is important for you to know about the things you need to buy before you shop for your gear. You need to list down all the things that ought to make up the gear you will use to spar with. To start with, leg protection is very important, especially if you are a beginner. So you need to invest in quality shin and leg protectors that will cushion the kicks you will receive. The protectors need to be comfortable and also enable you to move and flex your legs, but not too loose to come off.
Foot protectors or sparring shoes should also be on your listing as these will protect your feet when you kick your opponent the wrong way (and you'll find you will do this very much, as a newbie). The third thing on your taekwondo sparring gear shopping list has to be arm protectors or arm bands that help cushion the blows on your arm, since these are the parts of your body that take the most beating. Opt for arm protectors that fit comfortably in your arms but not too loose. The next on your shopping list is a head protector. A head protector, as the title means, protects your head from the kicks as well as punches it will get throughout sparring sessions.
Lastly, you need mouth guards and also groin protectors. The mouth guard shields your teeth from flying all over the place if you get kicked, the groin protectors need no further explanation. The most important thing you need to keep in mind when you are shopping for karate sparring gear is that you must never sacrifice product quality over economy. Remember this: when you pay cheap, you don't get quality and cheaply made gear are things you should never settle with when going to spar with a martial artist. When you pick to purchase inexpensive gear and actually wear it on a sparring session, there are only two things that can happen: number one, you will end up buying replacement gear and in the end spend even more money than what you thought you saved; number two, you'll end up getting treatment at the hospital for serious injuries because low cost gear do not provide sufficient protection.
Do you use protective gear in Shotokan or Kyokushin Karate?
Do you use gear like head guard, chest guard, instep pad, shin and forearm guards, in Kyokushin or Shotokan Karate? like in tournaments and during practice?
Shotokan. Kyokushin is full contact.
