These signature shin guards were developed through a close collaboration between legendary fighter Semmy Schilt and the NGU brand. They incorporate his personal ideas, preferences and specific requirements, shaped by years of professional fighting experience.
Every detail reflects what Semmy Schilt considers essential for a fighter. His first-hand experience in the ring and technical expertise influenced every aspect of the shin guards – from their anatomical shape and material selection to protective padding, secure fit and the carefully considered balance between protection, comfort and freedom of movement.
Created as part of the Semmy Schilt Signature Series, these shin guards carry the name of legendary Dutch kickboxer Semmy Schilt, one of the most successful heavyweight fighters in combat sports history.
The protective padding helps absorb and distribute impact during kicks, blocks and partner drills. Extended coverage protects both the shin and instep, two areas that are regularly exposed to contact during striking training.
The guards can be used for kickboxing, Muay Thai and K-1, as well as for karate and taekwondo training when athletes want additional protection while practising kicks with a training partner.
These shin guards are not limited to kickboxing. Karate and taekwondo athletes can use them during training to practise kicking techniques with greater confidence and protection.
They are particularly useful for partner drills where athletes work on kick technique, accuracy, timing, distance and control while reducing direct impact to the shin and foot.
This makes the Semmy Schilt Signature Shin Guards a versatile choice for athletes from different striking martial arts disciplines.
The anatomical shape follows the lower leg and is designed to provide a comfortable and stable fit during movement.

Secure fastening helps keep the shin guards in position during intensive training, kicking combinations and partner drills, while the protected foot section allows natural movement.

The exterior is made from durable synthetic leather, making the shin guards suitable for regular martial arts training and easy to maintain. The non-slip inner lining provides better grip against the leg, helping the guards stay securely in place during training.

The distinctive black and gold design represents the Semmy Schilt Signature Series and gives the guards a premium combat sports look.
