Fumetsu Shin Guards

Fumetsu shin guards — the UK MMA-brand flagship

Fumetsu is the UK-designed MMA and combat-sports brand that has become the default community pick for British fighters — strong gym-coach presence, fast iteration cycles, and consistently honest construction at fair price points. The shin guard catalogue is the deepest of any brand we stock: 31 SKUs covering current Ghost S3 in both MMA and Thai shapes, the Anaconda mid-tier, the modern Oni and bold Icon series, the limited Kintsugi run, the microfibre FMT1 flagship, and outlet stock of the legacy Ghost MMA pre-S3 line. Authorised UK Fumetsu stockist with free delivery over £75.

The Fumetsu shin guard range

Ghost S3 — the current workhorse (£59.99–£64.99)

The Ghost S3 is the chassis 70 percent of UK Fumetsu buyers pick. Available in two shapes: Ghost S3 MMA (£59.99) is the slimmer grappling-compatible version in Black/White, Black/Red, Black/Black and White/Black/Grey; Ghost S3 Thai (£64.99) is the bulkier traditional Muay Thai shape in White/Gold, Black/Gold, Khaki/Black, Black/White, Black/Red, Black/Black and White/Black/Grey. Pakistan-made synthetic leather. The default Fumetsu pick.

Anaconda — mid-tier upgrade (£69.99)

Anaconda Shin/Instep Guards step up from the Ghost S3 — thicker synthetic leather, sharper aesthetic. Available in Black/Black, Black/Red and Khaki/Black. The right pick for fighters who want noticeably more shell durability without jumping to the FMT1 flagship.

Oni and Icon — modern aesthetic premium (£74.99–£79.99)

Oni (£74.99) is the modern Japanese-aesthetic series in White/Black/Gold, Khaki/Black/Gold and Black/Grey/Bronze. Icon Thai (£79.99) is the bold-colour Muay Thai-positioned series — currently the Black/Orange colourway is a standout in club gyms. Same Pakistan-made synthetic leather chassis at the upper end of the Fumetsu ladder.

Dragon Slayer — warrior aesthetic, partial outlet (£37.49–£74.99)

The Dragon Slayer series sits across the value-to-premium ladder. Khaki/Orange (£74.99) is current; White/Black/Gold and Blue/Black/Red are currently 50 percent off at £37.49; Black/Gold is 30 percent off at £52.49. A genuinely strong outlet value if the colourway fits.

Kintsugi — limited run (£56–£70)

The Kintsugi shin/instep guards are a limited-run Japanese-art-themed series in Black/Red and Black/Gold, currently marked 20 percent off. Rare stock — not part of the ongoing catalogue.

FMT1 Thai — microfibre flagship (£104.99)

The FMT1 Thai is the top of the Fumetsu shin guard pyramid — Pakistan-made microfibre construction (lighter and more abrasion-resistant than synthetic leather), available in Black and White. The right pick for six-plus sessions a week or active competition prep where shell longevity matters.

Legacy Ghost MMA — pre-S3 outlet (£18.99–£45)

The original Ghost MMA (Navy, Black/Orange, Black/White, Black/Black) at £45 (50 percent off, vegan construction) is the legacy pre-S3 generation. The Ghost Elasticated (£18.99, 50 percent off) is the cheapest entry point — polyester shell, simpler construction. Both are great value picks while outlet stocks last.

Picking your Fumetsu shin guard

For most fighters, the Ghost S3 (MMA or Thai shape, depending on your training mix) is the right pick. Upgrade to the FMT1 Thai if you train heavily. Drop to the Ghost MMA outlet at £45 if you want vegan construction at a discount. The Dragon Slayer 50 percent off colourways are the genuine bargain on the page — same Pakistan-made chassis as the Ghost S3 for less than half the price, just last-stock colourways.
