Why Women Need Protective Gear in Combat Sports

From boxing and MMA to jiu-jitsu and muay thai, women are rising stars in combat sports. But many don’t realize that their bodies need specific protection. Female anatomy is different – not weaker, just different – and deserves dedicated gear to ensure safety, boost performance, and support long-term health.

Understanding Female Physiology

The chest, pelvic area, and lower abdomen are particularly vulnerable for women. A punch or knee to the wrong spot can lead to severe pain, bruising, or even internal injury. That’s why protective gear isn’t overkill – it’s essential.

What gear is designed for women?

At CombatCorner.ch, female athletes can gear up with:

  • Protective Sports Bra: Built to absorb shocks and prevent chest injuries. Offers both support and impact protection.
  • Female Pelvic Protector: Contoured for the female form, it shields the lower abdomen, bladder, and pelvic area during kicks and grappling.
  • Headgear: A must-have for sparring – protects your head, jaw, and face from heavy blows.

Evidence-Based Protection

Studies show that 1 in 3 injuries in female boxers involve the chest. Pelvic injuries are also underreported but common. Gear built for women significantly reduces injury rates and helps athletes stay active longer and more confidently.

Confidence Comes from Safety

Wearing protection isn’t a weakness – it’s empowerment. Knowing you’re protected allows you to train harder, fight smarter, and reach your full potential without fear. True strength is smart, prepared, and unapologetically bold.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Is a sports bra enough?
    No – it provides support, not protection. A protective sports bra includes padding to absorb strikes.
  2. Can I use men’s groin guards?
    No – they don’t fit female anatomy and may cause discomfort or improper protection.
  3. How do I know my size?
    Use the size guide provided. Gear should be snug but not restrictive and stay in place during movement.
  4. Is good gear expensive?
    Not at all. Quality female gear starts around 30-60 CHF and lasts for years.
  5. Can I use this gear in competition?
    Yes – it's competition-ready and often required by governing bodies.
