I purchased these to replace the basic cloth guards. I am thankful I got them. They are very sturdy and offer a very good measure of protection. Your forearm can block all day long and feel only a small portion of the attack.
These are fantastic pads for a very reasonable price. The material is extremely durable and heavily stitched. They will take the hardest punch or kick the person holding it can handle without letting them feel your fist or foot.
