In any martial art, from the striking power of Boxing and Muay Thai to the intricate grappling of BJJ and Wrestling, safety is paramount. Our curated collection of head and ear guards offers superior protection, allowing you to train harder, spar with confidence, and minimise the risk of injury. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just starting your journey, investing in the right protective gear is the smartest decision you can make.
Designed to absorb impact and reduce the risk of cuts, bruises, and concussions during sparring. Our range includes:
Prevent the painful and permanent condition known as 'cauliflower ear' with our durable and comfortable ear guards. Specifically designed to withstand the friction and impact of grappling, they provide a secure fit that stays in place during intense rolls, protecting your ear cartilage from damage without obstructing your hearing.
A proper fit is essential for effective protection. A head guard should be snug without being restrictive, and it shouldn't shift during movement. We offer a range of sizes and adjustable straps to ensure a perfect fit. Choose from premium leather for maximum durability or high-quality synthetic materials for a vegan-friendly and easy-to-clean option. Shop our collection today and train with peace of mind.
For general boxing sparring, a head guard with ample padding and cheek protection is highly recommended to minimise facial damage. For amateur competitions in Australia, you may need a specific open-face, AIBA-approved head guard. Always check your competition's regulations.
The most effective way to prevent cauliflower ear is to wear protective ear guards during all grappling and rolling sessions. They create a protective shell around the ear, shielding it from the constant rubbing and impact that causes cartilage to separate and fill with fluid.
To find your size, use a soft measuring tape to measure the circumference of your head at its widest point, usually about 2cm above your eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the size chart found on each product page. A good fit should be snug but not uncomfortably tight, and shouldn't move when you shake your head.
While a boxing head guard offers excellent protection for stand-up striking in MMA, it can be bulky and may limit visibility during groundwork and grappling exchanges. Many MMA practitioners prefer MMA-specific sparring headgear, which is often designed for better all-around visibility and a less obstructive profile.
After every training session, wipe your head and ear guards inside and out with a clean cloth and an anti-bacterial spray or wipe. This prevents the buildup of bacteria and odour. Allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, which can damage the material over time.
