thank you very much for the kind words. I really do appreciate it.

Glad I saw this video before buying one.

Thank you man! Im between the fairtex sp5s and the venum elites. Gonna pull the trigger on some nice ones once im fully back into striking. Last year I bought 3 sanabul gis for jj then sprained my mcl a month in 😂 sucks i dropped a dime and cant even use em

The original Muay Thai big version as you called them "Moon Boots" I bought them by accident got them too big for me but they make sense now! This is a BIG secret to making sure those strap shin guards don't move around. 1.Place your foot inside the foot strap inside first, then strap the Shin nicely and make sure is aligned with your shin nicely having a good feel against your shin. Now strap around the ankle nicely it should feel easy to strap if it doesn't feel easy something is wrong in the shin alignment strap, if you do this they won't move around as much. Anything sock style will absorb all sweat, my gym requires us that we wear knee and elbow pads for Muay Thai if we want to knee and elbow to protect others from mayor injuries and that gear is mostly made sock style.

Man I hate nothing more than the “sock like” material or the neoprene shinguards. I’m a very hygienic and clean person, and I take very good care of my gear but it’s nearly impossible to keep those from smelling over time, as well as those shitty sock knee pads fall apart so fast

It was very helpful! Thank you!!!

I have the venom elites. Best shin gaurds ive ever owned. Good protection and not too bulky. Plus i like that the velcro overlaps instead of goes through the metal pull loop cuz i have giant calves that don't always fit that style

I actually just sent the Venom elites back to Amazon and I was sad about it lol they were so beautiful but the velcro was digging into the back of my leg. I ordered a large because the chart but now I’m reading they run big. I’m 5’11.5 and weigh 170

Very well made video with some great points, thank you! What brands would you recommend for the super padded/protective moon boot style shin guards? I've had guards that didn't fully cover my feet and I've suffered a couple toe injuries during sparring because of that, so I think the heavy duty guards would work just right for me. Where could I buy them?

Revgear is the best hands down they have been around the sport forever and make great affordable gear

Thank you for your product review. It was really detailed. Pros, cons, pricing, and practicality. I was trying to find something like the Venums for 20 but I don't think that's going to happen lol 😭

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, you will have to get closer to a hundred dollars to get the quality and protection, $40 pads would suffice for a while, but have their shortcomings like i pointed out in the video. Thank you again for the comment.

Had the venum strap bother the back of my knee so I just put the top strap loose and the bottom strap tight easy fix

Thanks for the info! I actually got a huge bruise and fracture on my big toe from using the RDX. I’ll be switching over to the Venum one with the ankle support to make sure it doesn’t happen again

My personal favourite is the fairtex sp5, the textured cloth inner lining and solid hook and loop straps mean they rarely slide. Also the padding is great.

Which hayabusa ones did you try? And how did they go? Also how are the twins shin guards bc im thinking of getting them

Getting rdx for kickboxing sparring my old guards are beat up and ripped

\ the shin pads from wusage which is a smaller thai company and are only 30 usd and they are just as good as the yokkao shin guards

If im just looking to do some heavy bag work which shin guard do you recommend? EDIT: Also, how do the RDX compare to the cheaper venum shin guards like the Venum Kontact or the Venum Kontact Evo shin guards.

@Krufessor_Rad

I wouldn’t recommend using shin guard if you’re just doing bag work. It’s better to kick your bag with bare shins. Shin guards effect your contact and you also want to get used to the impact. We use shin guard primarily for contact with others.

Anybody have an opinion of the Venum elite guards vs Fairtex? thanks

I've carried Revgear here in my gym for many years. Their shin guards were decent and sufficient, but I could never say they were ever my favorite, but tastes vary. there was a pair of the "grappling" or MMA style shin guards that were popular with my students.

I’ve got the sock rdx ones is there any point getting the strap ones or not ?

couldn't say for sure. If there isn't a definitive sizing chart I'd say you're probably a medium or large.

I'm not a huge fan of slip on or sock type shin guards. they are always cheaper, but that because they are very thin and don't provide much protection. some people like them. I trained with a pair for years, but they were a bit different and provided solid protection even though they were slip on. I needed them for MMA so my guards didn't slide around during ground work.
