Sparring Gear - Safety

Sparring Gear such as the Warrior Combat Kit or other Sparring Gear in the form of kits from Century such as the Rival or Dyna ranges are recommended by Pad-Up. Top Ten have an excellent range of sparring gear. To get started in Semi or light contact sparring one would need a sparring kit comprising of; warrior shin guards, warrior kicks, warrior head guard, warrior punches (closed finger punches for European tournaments). Shock Doctor Gums Shields such as the shock doctor double and not forgetting the macho groin guard are also essential sparring gear.
