Any recommendations on karate sparring gear?
Okey dokey, here's the deal: I need to get a set of sparring gear for my own personal use and my karate class. Since I am very new to karate, I have no idea what to get in terms of sparring gear in terms of material (foam, vinyl, cloth..), and brand. Here's what pieces I would prefer the set to have:
* Shin and instep guard
* hand and forearm guard
* head protector
(no need for mouth piece, already have one, and just a hand protector in place of the forearm and hand guard is ok if a combo guard cannot be found)
So...any thoughts, comments, ....your life stories? Ty in advance pplz!
P.S Btw, my sensei said it doesn't have to be exactly like the ones used in the dojo.
Does your school have equipment you can try out? Many people make the mistake of buying a lot of expensive gear before they know A) what they're even buying and B) if they are even going to like the sport and stay with it. Also, I would ask your sensei what he/she recommends.
That said... I don't practice Karate, but I'm assuming headgear is going to be similar. I have this Century headgear and love it: http://www.boxingdepot.com/tr-bx-02.html
For instep guards, I really like the cloth ones. They feel a lot less intrusive, but they still protect you. The foam and vinyl ones feel so heavy, where the cloth ones you kind of forget they're there. That's just my personal preference, though, so if you get the chance to try different kinds on you should. Good luck!
