First of all, the customer service from this company is above excellent. They are prompt in getting back to me and really care about making sure you got the right thing. Thank you, Lisa. I was concerned about fit, but these fit my son perfectly. He tried them on right away and said they were just right to protect him from breaking his shin bone in a kick, but not so padded that the kick wouldn't hurt his opponent. Spoken like a fighter - lol.

The Official Shin Guards of the Amateur Shooto League in Japan
ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor for ISAMI — your direct source for authentic Japanese martial arts gear. The Isami Shooto MMA Shin Guards carry the Japan Shooto Association seal because they were built for exactly what Shooto demands: clean striking, fast transitions to the ground, and a fit that doesn't move between them. The ankle-flexible design means you hit the mat without yanking gear back into place. Available in two sizes, black only, and includes the official Shooto mesh carry bag. Order now and train the way Shooto competitors do.
Note: Isami has updated the Shooto Association logo on this shin guard. New Size Large stock now ships with the updated logo print shown in the gallery. Size Medium is still shipping with the previous print while existing stock lasts — once Medium sells through, it will also switch to the new print.
Built for the Striking-to-Grappling Transition
- Ankle-flexible construction lets you move naturally from standing to ground without the guard riding up or binding.
- Snug slip-on fit stays locked in position through exchanges, takedowns, and positional scrambles without adjustment.
- Sponge padding calibrated for contact sparring: enough protection on the shin and instep without deadening the impact your opponent needs to feel.
This guard was designed with MMA-specific movement in mind, not just karate drilling. The low-profile elastic build keeps bulk off your leg so ground work and guard passing stay unimpeded. Polyester-rayon stretch fabric holds the shape session after session. Sized for adults in two options (M and L) so smaller-framed fighters get a proper fit, not a folded-over oversized guard.
Shooto-Certified Since 1985, Still the Guard for Serious MMA
- Official gear of the Japan Shooto Association: the same shin guards used in real Shooto competition, not a consumer-market imitation.
- Includes the official Shooto mesh carry bag, so your gear stays ventilated and organized between sessions.
- Worn by fighters who need both striking protection and ground-game freedom: this is a purpose-built MMA guard, not a crossover product.
Shooto is one of the oldest and most technically demanding MMA organizations in the world, and these shin guards earned their official status through that lens. The clean, minimalist design is the point: no straps, no bulk, nothing between you and the technique. ChokeSports.com is the official international source for Isami and the place to buy these with confidence.
