Product guide
The main piece of protection in sparring is the chest guard, called the hogu in taekwondo. It covers the torso, including the ribs and sternum, and its padding distributes the impact of kicks and punches. The two fighters in taekwondo sparring wear blue ( cheong ) and red ( hong ). This helps judges to tell the two fighters apart and score hits . A reversible chest guard has a blue side and a red side, which means you only need one protector instead of two. Chest guards are usually made with foam padding, often EVA foam, and some have a synthetic cover. They fasten at the back with ties or straps, and some have shoulder protection. Rules differ between organisations, and competitions under World Taekwondo rules can require an approved protector, so check the label on your unit and the rules of your event. Please also check the sizes and the padding.
Under World Taekwondo style sparring, athletes usually also wear a headguard, forearm guards, shin guards, a groin guard, a mouthguard and gloves. The chest guard is only one part of the set, so ask your coach what your class or event requires.
