Headguards for Boxing & Martial Arts: Essential Protection for Training and Competition

In combat sports, you have to be able to take hard hits – and your head is especially at risk. Cuts and lacerations are painful and annoying, but severe impacts can, in the worst case, lead to traumatic brain injury. With a boxing headguard for training and competition, you can protect yourself from injuries in boxing and kickboxing. Children and teenagers should never box without head protection. For adults, headguards used to be mandatory in amateur boxing, but this rule has been abolished since 2013. At least for sparring, you should still always protect your head.

Buying a Headguard: What to Look Out For!

Boxing headguards cushion the forehead, cheekbones and chin and should fit the shape of your head well. Gel inserts provide extra padding. The material needs to be robust and durable – whether you choose leather, synthetic leather or plastic is a matter of preference. When buying your headguard, make sure it fits firmly but not too tightly. Headguards with a hook-and-loop fastener at the back of the head can be adjusted easily to your individual head shape. Complete your boxing gear – because boxing with a headguard is safer. Browse online now at Sport-Thieme and find the ideal head protection for your martial arts training.
