Venum MMA Shin Guards

Venum MMA shin guards — five-tier range for UK fighters

The MMA shin guard catalogue is the broadest of any brand we stock: 32 SKUs across five distinct tiers, from £25 entry-level cotton to £120 Thailand-made premium synthetic leather. Authorised UK Venum stockist with free delivery over £75 and easy 30-day returns.

The Venum MMA shin guard range

Kontact — value entry tier (£24.98–£27.99)

Cotton-blend Universal-sized shin and shin/instep guards in Black, Khaki, Royal Blue and Black/Red. Pakistan and China made. The lowest entry point in the Venum ladder and the right call for bag work, technique drills, and beginner sparring.

Challenger — mid-tier (£59.99)

China-made synthetic leather construction in Black and Matte Black. Sized Small to Extra Large for sharper fit than the elasticated Kontact. The step up for fighters moving from once-a-week training to regular club rotation.

Elite and Elite Stand Up — premium workhorse (£109.98)

Thailand-made synthetic leather, vegan construction, the workhorse premium tier. Available in Black/Black, White/White, Grey/Grey, Black/White, White/Black, Black/Camo, White/Camo, Khaki/Camo, Dark Camo/Gold, Black/Pink, plus dedicated Elite Stand Up variants in Silver/Black and Gold/Black for stand-up-focused training. The most popular Venum tier among regular MMA fighters.

Impact Evo and Tactical XT — specialty premium (£109.99–£119.99)

Impact Evo (£109.99, currently 20% off) is multi-sport approved across Karate, Kickboxing, MMA, Muay Thai and Taekwondo. Tactical XT (£119.99) is the cotton-shell premium with extra strapping in Black/Red and Black/Burgundy/Gold. Both are stand-out picks for fighters wanting something distinct from the Elite ladder.

Elite Evo — top of the ladder (£119.99)

Neoprene-based China-made construction. Lighter and slimmer than the Elite, with a modern athletic fit. Available in Black, Khaki and White. The right call for fighters who prioritise feel and weight over traditional padded bulk.

Picking your Venum shin guard

As a rough guide: Kontact for one or two sessions a week, Challenger for two to four sessions, Elite for serious four-plus weekly training, Elite Evo or Tactical XT for fighters who want a distinct premium feel. The Tiger Kids (£64.99) covers juniors aged six and up. The Tiger Adult is currently discontinued and may not return.
