Personally, I am not a fan of full-contact sparring. Scoff if you will, but I have personal experience with reflectorless, light contact and full-contact styles, so an opinion I entitled. Reflectorless is only pretty stupid in my opinion. I mean, they are studying a martial art-what the point that beat someone? Light contact is the best of both worlds because the participants allows you to walk (usually) unharmed, but with enough bruises to know what could have happened. For me, the main problem with full-contact sparring is the pads. I feel close to me always of them and hindered, that my fighting style. But my personal prejudices aside, sparring pads are absolutely essential in full contact martial arts. Enough types of pads he exist, so that an athlete wants, can cover his entire body. Each is specifically to allow for maximum movement, at the same time to prevent injuries.
At the, one the head wake top. These are made of foam and are similar to the helmets of wrestler used. A head guard comprises the largest part of the head, including the back, top, forehead and jaw. It has numerous holes and slots that prevent that the vehicle always overheated. Additional foam padding is located around the ears for added protection. A wide rubber band attached from one side of the guard to the others, under the Chin.
The chest guard down move next, the sparring pads, is the largest of the body. These pads are designed for the entire front of the body of the collar bone around the waist. Protected the page from the armpit to the waist are scarce. Are breast waking usually foam padding in the Interior of a durable vinyl shell. Ironically, these are pads which are often mainly targets on front and sides. In sparring, these goals are a match for the most vulnerable areas on the body of objectives. Guards with these objectives are almost always reversible, with blue things on one side and red on the other breast. In competitions exhibits an opponent red, while the other blue exhibits.
Forearm pads consist usually of padded fabric, although she can also foam. You can only the forearm cover, but some styles include a half glove, the wrist and Faust and protects. In the sparring, the forearm, one of the areas is destroyed in the majority of cases, and these pads can make a serious difference in the level of injury.
Shin wake may be padded cloth or foam. Foam versions are on the fronts of the shins with elastic bands strapped while the padded cloth that are slipped the calf as a long sock styles. The latter type includes a half sock sometimes, protects the top of the foot.
Finally is the groin protector the most important part of the distance, at least for some. It is a little known fact that female groin protectors actually, not unusually used in some circles. These pads protect women pelvic bones that can be very painful when hit. Men's bar of course, are protectors, similar to those in most men dominated contact sports and the male genital organs protect.
