The 8 Weapons shin guard range

Unlimited 2.0 and Shift (£64.99–£79.99) — modern build, MMA-compatible

The Unlimited 2.0 (£64.99) is the everyday flagship — slimmer modern profile, eight colourways including Urban Camo, Woodland Camo and Sand/Black. The Shift, Shift Matt and Shift Cyber (£69.99–£79.99) are the premium build with refined construction. Both series are tagged for Muay Thai, kickboxing AND MMA training.

Sak Yant series (£84.99) — artist-design premium

The Sak Yant Naga, Sak Yant Tiger, Sak Yant Big Tiger and 8 Ways Yant shin guards (£84.99) are 8 Weapons' design-led tier with authentic Thai tattoo-inspired shell prints. Same padding density and competition-grade construction as the Unlimited 2.0; Sak Yant is for fighters wanting authentic Thai aesthetic alongside performance.

Value tier — S8 (£19.99), Unlimited (£45.49) and Kids (£39.90)

The S8 (£19.99) is the slip-on entry shin/instep guard for very light training and drills. The original padded Unlimited (£45.49) is the traditional MT-style budget option. The Jenny Kids (pink) and Joe Kids (black/red) at £39.90 are junior-scaled.

Picking your 8 Weapons shin guard

For everyday Muay Thai sparring with MMA cross-training, the Unlimited 2.0 is the right call. For premium aesthetic and the same construction, step up to the Sak Yant series. For value/backup, the original Unlimited or S8 work. Pair with 8 Weapons Muay Thai shorts for the full 8 Weapons Sak Yant look.
