Bought these for my grandson, who is pretty small, and they are so small that they are almost impossible to get on quick enough in a class setting.. he had to lay down and we have fight with the elastic to get them over his calves THEN get the foot part on.. UGH! hate them... they do look and feel like good quality but geez... probably not made for a kid to use in class..

I train in Muay Thai//MMA on occasion, but not seriously enough to invest in premium gear yet"”these are a great alternative to wearing used/falling apart loaners. Note on size: I am a 5'4" 130 pounds female and the Small/Medium size fit like a glove. Would definitely recommend sizing up to Large if you have thick calves.

My three boys 11, 10, and 9 just started Muay Thai recently, so I bought them each a set of these to start out. I constantly see kids struggling to keep their guards adjusted that Velcro in the back, and I wanted them to learn their basic moves and proper form without that concern. These are well made, the smallest size fit them all comfortably, however they are taller for their size and none of them have those spindly legs I see on some kiddos without muscle. They also don't carry around extra weight. They play sports, skateboard, and bike, and are on a trampoline constantly, so I can't attest to how these would fit a very thin leg for youths or a leg for a youth looking to lose weight in martial arts. They all commented on the comfort, and they hit all their legs in nice spots, while also covering their feet well. I think these are a phenomenal purchase for anyone casually into this sport, just starting and not yet competing, kickboxing classes, or who need the flexibility for grappling. The size chart worked very well for us! When these three start competitions I will likely get them some heavier duty guards that block the knee caps and provide a bit more coverage and critical protection when things get nasty in the ring. For sparring with like minded people and bag workouts, they should be great.
Meister shipped ultra fast! I cannot stress the efficiency in their shipping and everything came brand new, packed very well, and we are going to be placing more orders with them for sure. I am snagging some hand wraps as I type this. As with every sport I believe there are the typical commercial brands that people end up with, but may actually lack quality. Then you have the big name brands who have both, the personal favorite brands of gyms and trainers who "swear" by only certain brands, and the companies who have steadily been making great products for great prices, but aren't involved in all the hype. Wherever you like to fall in those categories, or a mix of it all, take it with a grain of salt, and shop savvy with sports gear. Meister is a fantastic way to do that for many options in this area. We will be happy to keep supporting this company and including their gear in the lineup. price seems well worth the quality! If they don't hold up or underperform I will adjust the review and the rating.

I ordered these for my 10-year-old son, he uses these for sparring in kickboxing class"¦ The fit is great and the padding is thicker and more shock absorbency than his previous padding that I paid a lot more for. I love these and will be buying again

I recently started kickboxing classes and I thought these would be just perfect. After all those 5-star reviews I got them and I thought they were really good. Sadly, after 3 classes they started to tear apart at the instep. Maybe this is happening because is fabric and not leather? Really disappointed...honestly, I don't think these deserve this rating.
