Breast Protection for ladies

[Shotokan-kez]

Hi guys does anyone know of anywhere i can buy one of these from the net for a reasonable price, and what are the best one's to get.

I can't believe i haven't got one before. I have always thought i should but never bothered. But then last week in training i was punched hard twice in that area (due to lack of control of course ) Or maybe i should just block better

Also do the breast protectors actually stop it from being painful, cos man it didnt half hurt

I'm no expert on this matter, but you might just want to poke around various websites for price comparison.

Here are a couple options from Asian World Martial Arts

Female Chest Guard & Sports Chest Guard

Thanks Bearich, i'm not sure about the first one, i think i'll feel like a robot The second one looks ok but i'm not sure if i'll be able to wear that under my gi, it doesn't say.

My wife bought hers from Tokon and she's very happy with it. It's not as cumbersome as the two above and is meant to be worn under your go.

whats the deal with them tho do you put it on all the time or just when your sparring i might get a few strange looks if i had to be like - "sorry i just need to put my breast protector on i'll just be a min" everytime we sparred

My guess is that you would wear them for the whole class. Men usually do that with their groin guards.

[karate carolyn]

Yeah thats true its just that i have seen then others in my class bring them with them but not ware them during the class strange maybe they only ware them in comps.

Thanks Carolyn, i thought that too, do you take them along or are they ok to wear for the whole class. when sensei wants us to spar he's like 'right get your mitts on'. No time at all to be able to go out of the dojo to put these things on!

I think I'll just rely on my hogu (tkd chest protector), thanks. I can't possibly fit in any of those! They just don't come in sizes anywhere close to large enough for me.
