Train safer with the right elbow pads
When training in MMA and Muay Thai, your elbows are constantly put to the test. Whether you are working on clinch work, elbow techniques or intense sparring, your elbows absorb a lot of impact. Elbow pads provide protection against abrasions, bruises and strain, so you can train with more confidence and comfort.
At Fightstyle.nl you will find elbow protectors that are specially designed for the demands of modern martial arts training. No standard protection, but gear that stays in place, feels good and does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Why elbow protection is essential
In both Muay Thai and MMA, elbows are often used in attack, defense and control. During clinching or combinations with elbow strikes, you run the risk of direct impact, especially during sparring.
Also during falls or scrambles in MMA the elbows are subjected to a lot of pressure. An elbow protector helps to absorb those blows and prevents you from slowing down during training.
Good protection ensures that you and your training partner can work safely on technique, timing and strength without unnecessary risk.
Which sports are elbow pads suitable for?
Elbow guards are intended for combat sports in which clinch work, elbow strikes or intensive ground contact play a role. Think of:
-
Muay Thai – where elbows are an integral part of the technique and clinch training
-
MMA – where elbows are used in stand-up, clinch and on the ground
They are less suitable or even unnecessary for sports such as boxing, BJJ or wrestling, where elbow contact is limited or does not occur.
Are you a fanatic Muay Thai or MMA trainer? Then elbow protectors are essential for sparring, drills and technical training.
What makes a good elbow pad?
An elbow protector should stay in place, provide sufficient padding and not restrict your freedom of movement. The fit is crucial here: too loose means the protector shifts, too tight can restrict your blood flow.
Important features of a good protector:
-
Pre-shaped design that moves with your arm
-
Shock absorbing padding that cushions impact
-
Elastic material that fits snugly without pinching
-
Anti-slip details to prevent the protector from slipping off
Also pay attention to the breathability of the fabric. During an intensive session you want sweat to be properly wicked away, so that your skin stays dry and irritation is prevented.
Comfort and fit in every workout
Elbow pads should not get in the way. In MMA and Muay Thai it is essential that your arms can move freely, also during clinch or groundwork.
The models you find at Fightstyle.nl are designed with these requirements in mind. They fit nicely, provide sufficient cushioning and stay firmly in place - even during explosive movements.
Whether you train with beginners or experienced fighters, a good protector prevents frustration and injuries.
Maintaining your elbow pads
Just like your other protection, elbow pads require proper maintenance. They absorb sweat and lie directly on your skin, so hygiene is important.
-
Rinse them with cold water immediately after use
-
Always let them air dry (not in a closed bag)
-
Wash them regularly at a low temperature in a washing bag
-
If necessary, use an antibacterial spray against odor and bacteria
Taking good care of your protectors will extend their lifespan and prevent skin irritation or odor problems.
