In any martial art, from the precise strikes of Karate to the dynamic kicks of Taekwondo, protecting your arms is crucial. Our collection of arm protectors and forearm guards is designed to offer superior defence against blocks, strikes, and impacts, allowing you to train and compete with confidence. Whether you're a beginner stepping onto the mats for the first time or a seasoned competitor, the right gear is essential for safety and performance.
Selecting the right arm protector depends on your specific discipline and training needs:
We stock a comprehensive range of sizes from leading brands to ensure a perfect fit for every martial artist in Australia. Browse our selection to find the ultimate protection for your forearms and train harder, safer.
The best type depends on your style. For Karate and Taekwondo sparring, dipped foam guards are common and often required for competition (look for WKF or WT approved labels). For Krav Maga or full-contact sparring, more robust vinyl or leatherette guards offer greater impact resistance. Simple cloth guards are suitable for light drills.
To find your size, measure the length of your forearm from just below the elbow to your wrist. Compare this measurement to the size chart located on each product page. A proper fit should be snug enough to not slip during movement but not so tight that it restricts circulation.
Many of our arm protectors are approved for competition by major governing bodies like the World Karate Federation (WKF). If you need gear for competing, please check the product description for specific 'WKF Approved' or 'WT Approved' certifications to ensure they meet regulations.
After each use, wipe your arm guards down with a damp cloth and a mild disinfectant to prevent bacteria and odour build-up. Allow them to air dry completely out of direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the protective foam and materials.
Yes, we have a full range of sizes suitable for children, juniors, and adults. Protecting young martial artists is incredibly important, and our collection includes smaller sizes designed to provide a secure and safe fit for kids starting their training journey.
