How to choose the right head guard for your needs
In martial arts, preparation is everything. You can have great technique, be fast with your combinations, but if your equipment is not in order, you are making it unnecessarily difficult for yourself. And when it comes to protection, there is one thing that really comes first: your head. Literally your brain. Your strategy, your focus, your reaction speed – everything comes from there. Why take a chance with that?
At Fightstyle.nl we understand that better than anyone. That's why we take head protection seriously. It's not a side issue. It's an essential part of your training, your progression and your safety. And we help you make the right choice. Not with vague sales talk, but with advice from practice. We know what you're dealing with, because we're in the middle of it ourselves.
Choosing the right head protection depends on several factors. Think about the size of the helmet, the weight, the fit, the type of training you do, and your own level. What works for a beginner is not necessarily suitable for an advanced. And someone who trains twice a week has different needs than a competitive fighter who is in the ring almost every day.
That's why we at Fightstyle have an extensive range of helmets, from XS to XL, and from lightweight open-face models to sturdy full-face helmets with extra chin protection. Which helmet you need depends on your situation. And we are happy to help you with that - via our personal advice service. Because the wrong helmet is a waste of your money and a risk to your safety.
Why Head guard is Essential – for Every Fighter
There are still people who think that a helmet is only necessary for beginners, or that you would train 'softer' if you wear protection. Those people have probably never had a serious kick in the head. The fact is: a good helmet protects you from injuries, without limiting your performance. In fact: it helps you train better.
Because when you don’t have to fear impact, you dare to move more freely. You try new things, you spar more intensely, you step onto the mat with more confidence. That ensures growth. Physically and mentally. And yes, head protection prevents concussions, cuts, bruises and nasty collisions. But it does more than that. It gives you room to make mistakes, and that’s where you learn the most.
Our helmets are designed to provide that protection without compromising comfort or visibility. The padding is just thick enough to absorb impact, but not so thick that you can’t see or hear anything. The closure is secure, the fit is anatomical, and the material is durable. Whether you’re sparring or preparing for a competition, you don’t have to think about your helmet. It does its job.
For every style, every fighter
At Fightstyle we don't focus on one discipline. Whether you box, kickbox, do MMA, taekwondo, muay thai or train a mix of styles - we have the right helmet for your sport. Because every combat sport places different demands on your equipment.
Do you train mainly standing with a lot of kicks? Then you benefit from extra protection on the side of your head. Do you often work in the clinch or on the ground? Then you want a helmet that stays in place during contact and rolling. Do you do a lot of competition-oriented training? Then visibility is extra important, and you go for an open model with minimal restriction.
Whatever you do, you can rest assured that our products are chosen with the practice in mind. We test ourselves, we listen to feedback from fighters, and we only choose brands that we stand behind ourselves. Brands that perform under pressure. Just like you.
More than a webshop – a community
Fightstyle is not just a store where you can quickly order something. We are part of the sport. A community of people who are busy improving every day. Who know what it means to be in the gym at 7:00. Who understand what it feels like to push through a workout when your legs actually don't want to anymore.
And that's exactly why we do what we do. We want to help you grow, with the right stuff, at the right time. That's why you don't get standard sales pitches from us, but honest advice. That's why we don't offer junk that falls apart after three weeks. And that's why we're available for questions, tips or just to think along.
We call it the Fightstyle Family. Not because it sounds fun, but because it is who we are. Everyone who trains, grows, and invests in themselves is welcome. There is room for beginners, for talents, for perseverers and for people who just want to fight without any hassle.
