Methodically designed for functionality, the grappling shin instep guards hug tightly to the legs and maintain position during MMA training.$20
I would buy these if they were black... And Fairtex.
And neoprene
I'm 3'2" and 56pds. What size should I get? Can I still use the force with these on?
You can probably try and force one up your little green bum
awww
uhh.. yeah, the correct abbreviation for pounds is Lbs. pds is the abbreviation for "progressive democrats" you're an idiot..
Hi my name is Chris Miller....sarcasm fails on me.
how is that in any way sarcastic? dummy
Because he's using a fake account to troll this site. His usage of pds over lbs was something commonly used on this site to troll for instance "trane" as opposed to the grammatically correct "train" etc. In essence you got trolled!
How can Joel comment that wrestling is the best base for MMA, but he doesn't wrestle. Is it because physics hasn't ANALyzed the sport yet? Or did you hear Joe Rogan say it once? Joel should stick to commenting on boxing and having little boys displayed in his profile pic.
will tiger schulmann's let me use these?
Depends on which location you go to. And even then it depends on how much they like you. I got force-fed those ridiculous Tigear ones. Not the new ones that are like these, the separate boots and shin guards. Meanwhile, other people got away with wearing the more practical shin/instep combo ones. So, if I were you, I would call up your sensei and find out first.
Joel is a pussy.
I didn't know your name was Joel.
These shin guards suck, just so you guys know. I'm not looking for an argument, it's just a fact. If you want shin guards that will last for a few months, buy these. Otherwise, go for something that's made with better materials and craftsmanship.
i have golden gear shin guards the training ones with hooks and loop they are awesome. handmade in thailand and half the price of most brands made in thailand. These grants kinda look flimsy. haha.
not cheap anymore at 75. Can get fairtexes off ebay for less
there's always gonna be fluctuating deals on different brands out there. the point is to buy QUALITY items the first time, don't waste your time and money with sub-par gear.
Kinda like Pete's cropped sweater. It wasn't top notch quality, therefore he no longer has a picture with it on.
My mt instructor has his base in tdk before going to Thailand to train. Bc is was not point based tdk, it translated well. Think machida and karate... huge difference between point styles and full contact. Historically tdk and karate don't verse well in mma, but have some good things to add to your mma game if you're open minded. Also, Silva has several black belt, one IS in tdk, but he only uses two tdk techniques heavily. Silvia MT bjj based
Well yeah, but that's why it's called MMA. You take the best parts (or what works for you as an individual) of each of the martial arts you've studied, and implement them as part of your game plan in the cage. That's why you'll see guys with boxing backgrounds still only use straight punches, but few uppercuts. Or you'll see guys with heavy MT backgrounds only throwing leg kicks and not utilizing a clinch or knees and elbows. You won't see wrestlers using every takedown they've ever practiced. You keep what is effective and throw away the rest. But in the end it's all about exposure. And yes, keeping an open mind. A true martial artist can find use in any style and/or technique.
Why are uppercuts not usable in MMA by a boxer? They can be a big aid in stopping takedowns.
I wasn't saying that they're not usable in MMA. I was just saying that people with boxing on their resume don't often use them. It's like the adrenaline dump makes them retarded or something. I, personally, love uppercuts.
Could I please get a pair of the black Venum or Black Jaco Vale tudo shorts? That would be so awesome.
These look great. And I'm digging the white. Unfortunately, these are not WTF legal footwear.

TKD is Lame
TKD is the best base for MMA, Anderson Silva's base is TKD. Silva is No.1 P4P.
Actually Silva is TKD based and started Muay Thai afterwards. Quit trying to act like your the shit before u actually get ur facts straight. =)
And Ben Henderson, and Anthony Pettis. Even Frankie Edgar said he did TKD as a kid.
Wrestling is the best base for MMA. I don't wrestle but I know striking will get you no where if you can't defend a takedown. They don't teach that in anything else.
They don't teach how to defend a takedown in anything else? Are you fucking kidding me? Judo and traditional Jiu-Jitsu have been doing it for decades, and BJJ revolutionized it as well! Wrestling is cool and stuff, but they're the absolute worst fighters from their back.
Everyone did tkd as a kid....and soccer too ... Dominic Cruz played little league baseball....so does that make it a great base for mma? Get over it.... Oh and boxers are the worst off their backs.
TKD is still lame...who cares if Anderson Silva did tkd.People need to understand that tkd has like one tear drop effect on mma.There is no one in mma that has tkd as their base martial art because tkd sucks.
That is whats wrong with tkd-black belt-douches they think tkd is the best.You wasted your time and money on a martial art that is ineffective outside the dojo/tkd tournament.So pack your paint dipped foam headgear and go home because you can't hang with the big dogs.
Hey Joel, not every fight gets to the ground, but all fights start standing up.
Yeah watch out for the mighty bjj takedowns! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ0HCXRgU5g
Yup, the "pitbull" gracie losing in 6 seconds. Watch out for those bjj takedowns! HAHAHAHA! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvcxqkPO6x4&feature=channel_video_title
Can someone explain what the deal is with Grant M-1 stuff and why it has such a bad reputation.
Grant started putting out a budget line like 5-6 years ago. You can tell by the metallic silver star above the "A" in the Grant logo. If you see this, it is a cheaper line than the normally higher quality gear Grant makes. As for the M-1 stuff, I think it is a combination of them using this same "cheaper" gear, just rebranded, and M-1 not catching on too well. This line is already being clearanced by every major retailer who has received them, so I don't think it will continue. There is a huge market for the white, Grant MMA gloves in the collectors market though, because Fedor wore them vs Giant Silva, and they hope to get them autographed.
I think I understood these to be pretty much the same as the combat sports shin instep ones right?
There is only a handful of manufacturers over in Pakistan where the majority of gear is made. Same with Thailand. Most of the gear is the same shit, just rebranded with different logos and sold for different prices.
I saw these recently I guess Aaron is expecting a new shipment soon and tryna sell these older items cuz I cudda swore I saw these recently
