Karate Shin and Instep Guard “WKF”

Ready for the tournament – WKF-certified shin- and instep guard.

Protective equipment is mandatory for the kumite discipline of the World Karate Federation (WKF). This is exactly where Hayashi's “WKF” model comes in: it combines decades of martial arts experience with continuous development in function, safety, and design. With the “WKF” competition model, we remain true to the proven design, but at the same time improve the look: the Refresh WKF-approved label ensures a modern, fresh style without changing the proven performance. This means you are optimally protected, comfortable on the move and ready for competition at the same time.

On your tatami. Get set. Go.

There's no time for long explanations in the hustle and bustle of competition. Hayashi shin guards with instep protection are therefore easy to put on and, in the smaller sizes, even karate kids can handle them with ease. Hook & loop fasteners and elastic loops hold reliably and remain secure and elastic even with intensive use. The open sole ensures direct contact with the tatami and optimal stability. Available in red and blue, the foot protectors are ready for your appearance at WKF tournaments.

No need to panic: “Your connection has been disconnected.”

What causes beads of sweat when it comes to the internet or telephone is a clever feature here: with the “WKF” shin- and instep guard, the deliberate separation line ensures maximum flexibility. Depending on your needs, the two protective pads can be worn individually without losing stability on the leg or foot. Thanks to the concealed hook & loop fastening, the pads can be quickly separated and just as easily rejoined – for a secure fit whenever you need it.

Success doesn't come by itself – get the best support with Hayashi's “WKF” shin guards and instep protectors for your WKF tournament participation.
