Protect your noggin with proper headgear
In any contact sport or activity, the head is the most vulnerable target and the one target that can have life-long consequences, even if it is moderately injured.
In many martial arts styles, some level of head contact is part and parcel of sparring and tournament events. While no headgear offers perfect protection, some are better than none, and our range of protective headgear will help mitigate the effects of head contact.
Working with the basics
Our most basic form of head protection is our basic Student Headgear.
This Century product is a tough piece of kit designed for safety in both sparring and tournaments.
It is a favourite amongst our TaeKwonDo and Karate customers.
Designed for maximum visibility, the 22 mm (7/8 inch) dipped foam headgear has a contoured open-face design secured with a hook—and—loop elastic strap and features pressure—release outlets for the ears.
It is available in Black and White in all sizes; (Red, Blue, Pink and Purple in selected sizes only) as well as in sizes Child, Youth, Adult S, Adult M/L or Adult XL.
Working with weapons
For sparring with Padded Weapons, particularly our ActionFlex range of products, we have our Century Padded Weapons Headgear.
This headgear has a removable face cage and throat guard that fastens with hook-and-loop closures. It is made with high-density foam padding for optimal coverage, and large ear openings increase hearing ability.
Designed especially for padded weapons training, some customers use them for unarmed sparring or self-defence training when strikes to the face are permitted.
Available in Black and Sizes S, M, L and XL.
Muay Thai protection
For Muay Thai and other combat sports that allow for heavier contact, we have our range of FBT Muay Thai Pro Boxing Head Guard with open face.
Made from 100% top-grade leather with multi-layered, high-density padding, it is fully adjustable with laces on the top and Velcro on the back.
It is crafted to protect yet still be very comfortable.
It is made in Thailand and is available in Red or Blue and Sizes S, M, L and XL.
These are just a handful of products from our more comprehensive range of protective headgear.
