ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor for ISAMI — your direct source for authentic Japanese martial arts gear. The Isami Karate Shin Guards have held "most popular supporter" status in Japan for years, and the reason is straightforward: thick sponge padding over the shin and instep, an open-toe design for natural kick movement, and a slip-on elastic fit that goes on in seconds and stays put through full contact work. Recommended by practitioners of Kyokushin, Ashihara, and Seido Kaikan. Order yours now and feel the difference on your next kick.
The EVA-core sponge doesn't flatten out under repeated strikes, making these reliable session after session. Used in the Amateur Shooto MMA league in Japan, they carry real competitive credibility. Polyester-rayon stretch fabric moves with your leg and keeps the guard anchored from shin to instep. Five sizes cover kids through adults.
Customers who switched to these report that they finally stopped thinking about their shin guards mid-sparring, which is exactly how protective gear should work. The classic Japanese design is understated by choice: clean, functional, and built around real training needs. ChokeSports.com is the official international source for Isami, so what you're getting here is the authentic product, not a copy.

It does it's job well. Padding is sufficient. Decent price though there are cheaper ones in the market. Don't think it's necessary to get super padded up as it defeats the purpose of contact sparring. End of the day, it's affordable enough to get replaced even after wear and tear.
Nice shin guards. Very Comfortable and light!!
As the title says. Didnt wash them yet but will know the last details then. So far top quality.

My new shin guards have made training much more fun and safe. If I had known I would have bought a pair a long time ago. They are light and don't move around, unlike the other pair I have. Great job Chokesports and Isami.
Chokesports is the leader in proviiding the best martial arts equipment made by ISAMI in Japan. I have been a loyal customer for over 40 years.
Everything is good, but the shin guards are tight. Think I need larger size.
Isami is top of the top in quality martial arts products.
I tryed alot of shin guards but at the end of the training session my shinbones was sore and fight with pain is not the best way in a Kyokushin tournament! So I got this Shin Guards Premium Double and now I can kick and protect agains other kicks without pain and livids! Quality is the best as possible because ISAMI is experienced with full contact sports! Thanks to ChokeSports for this one too! OSU!
Good quality shin guards at a good price.
