Muay Thai Protection
Given the full contact nature of Muay Thai, it's important to reduce risk of injury when training. Fortunately, there are many bits of protective equipment that can help you do so. Handwraps for your hands, groin guards for your groin, shin guards for your legs and mouthguards for your mouth. A complete set is essential for any serious Muay Thai fan’s kit bag.
We've got you covered for everything you need to protect yourself, and your partner, through all types of Muay Thai training. Whether it be heavy bag work, drills, clinch work or sparring.
FAQS
What are hand wraps for?
Hand wraps help keep your hands, wrists and fingers secure. They act as a protective layer between your hands and the gloves.
You should wear them through all types of training that involve boxing. Even if you have very large, soft gloves. After all, your fingers and the tendons in your wrist are fragile, so you should take every precaution to protect them.

What protection do I need?
When sparring and drilling, you at least need gloves, hand wraps, shin guards, a mouthguard and a groin guard.
Having a full set of protection helps you maximise training, while minimising risk to you and your training partners. This is because of the diversity of strikes and areas of attack in Muay Thai.

Do boil and bite mouthguards work?
When the moulding instructions are accurately followed, boil and bite mouthguards work very well. The SAFEJAWZ collection features a highly reliable set of boil and bite mouthguards that are used by athletes across a variety of contact sports. They provide a high-level of protection for your jaw, teeth and gums through sparring and drill work.

How do you choose shin guards for Muay Thai?
Firstly, you need to consider size and fit. Then you should consider style and colours. Not all shin guards are shaped the same, so size and the way they sit on your shins and feet differ. Always check the size guides of the individual shin guards to be sure.
We recommend getting a pair of semi-leather or leather pair for your drill work and sparring. In addition, some slip-on cotton shin guards are very useful for conditioning. They are also often the standard for amateur competition.
