DBX Bushido TBA Calf Guards – additional protection during low kicks

The DBX Bushido TBA Calf calf guards are a practical solution for MMA, kickboxing and Muay Thai athletes who want to increase leg protection during intensive kicking training and sparring.

Unlike traditional shin guards, which primarily protect the front of the shin, the TBA Calf guards provide additional coverage for the back or side of the calf – areas that are often left without adequate padding.

Thanks to the adjustable fastening system, the guards can be used together with many shin guard models, allowing their positioning to be adjusted to the type of training.

Why choose DBX Bushido calf guards?

✅ Additional calf protection – A thick cushioning layer helps reduce the force of impacts in areas not covered by standard shin guards.

✅ Two positioning options – The guard can be placed at the back of the calf or shifted at an angle to increase coverage of the side of the leg when blocking kicks.

✅ Ideal for low kick training – Additional protection during kicking drills, defense exercises, combinations and situational sparring.

✅ Compatible with other guards – Can be used with many shin guard models, eliminating the need to purchase a new set.

✅ Secure fastening – Adjustable hook-and-loop straps allow the guards to be fitted to the circumference of the leg and help keep them in place during training.

✅ Freedom to adjust your protection – You decide whether you need protection for the back or side of the calf, adjusting the guard’s position to the exercises being performed.

✅ Practical addition to your equipment – Expand your leg protection while using the equipment you already own.

Two protection options – one solution

1. Protection for the back of the calf

During kicking and low kick blocking drills, the back of the calf may be exposed to accidental or direct strikes.

The TBA Calf guard can be positioned centrally at the back of the leg, providing an additional layer of cushioning where traditional shin guards usually do not offer coverage.

This solution is particularly useful during technical sparring, defensive drills and training sessions involving a high number of kicks.

2. Protection for the side of the calf

Not every kick lands directly on the front of the shin. During dynamic combat, strikes may also come from the side, especially when changing leg positions or performing incomplete blocks.

The ability to position the guard at an angle also allows the side of the calf to be covered, increasing cushioning in an area exposed to contact during side kicks and low kicks.

This positioning allows the protection to be better adapted to your individual technique and the nature of your training.

Who is it for?

The DBX Bushido TBA Calf calf guards are designed for people who regularly train MMA, kickboxing and Muay Thai, especially athletes who perform a high number of low kicks, blocks and defensive drills.

They are suitable for both technical training and sparring, where additional cushioning for the back and side of the leg can improve training comfort.
