Presently shin pads fall into 4 main categories: Cotton Foamed Filled Elasticated Synthetic/Leather Standard Leather Special Prints Synthetic/Leather Light Weight The cotton foamed filled elasticated shin pads are often the cheapest and offer the least protection out of all the shin pads. However this doesn't mean they should be automatically dismissed. These are the first shin pads I brought when I started Muay Thai and I am still using them to date (obviously not the same ones!). However I like these shin pads as they are extremely light weight and are easy to slip on and off. However they do have a tendency of moving around your calf and often need readjusting to cover your shin again. The main company that makes these pads are called Nationman.The Synthetic/Leather Stardard are the preferred choice and best seller in the Muay Thai community. They offer superior protection than the cotton foamed ones and due to their velcro straps and elasticated foot straps they do not move as much. The only draw back is that they are slightly heavier than the cotton foamed ones. The Twins SGL-2 shin pads fall into this category.The Leather Special Print are exactly the same construction to a Synthetic/Leather Standard shin pad. The only thing that differs is the colour and design on the shin pad. The Twins Fancy Pattern shin pads fall into this category.The Synthetic/Leather Lightweight builds upon the synthetic / leather standard shin pad with respect to the way it is constructed. The main difference is the amount of foam they use in it. They use slightly less foam which means the pads are about 30% lighter than the stand shin pads enabling you to deliver your kicks harder and faster. The SGL-3 shin pads fall into this category.How do I take care of my shin pads? After ever session you should make sure that you air and dry your shin pads out. This is important because your shin pads are made from leather and any perspiration that has gotten on to the gloves is acidic and will begin to break the leather down.Twins Philosophy Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) dates back to the ancient times. In those days it was better known as Muay Boran (the old style of Thai Boxing). Muay Boran encapsulated all the different styles including Muay Thai, Muay Plum, Krabi Kabong, etc. However a lot of the evidence to substantiate the exact beginnings of Muay Boran was lost during the conflict with the Burmese. The Burmese took over Ayutthaya and burnt it to the ground. Unfortunately Ayutthaya was where all the historical records where kept relating to Thailand. However the exact date of the beginnings of Muay Boran is neither here or there. The important thing is that it was born and was used in those days to defend Siam (Thailand).Modern Muay Thai is predominately practiced for keep fit and self defence. However it is still considered one of the most effective martial arts in the world training the hands, elbow, knees, legs and even head as weapons against opponents. In order to be able to practice Muay Thai one should have the right training equipment to protect oneself from unnecessary injuries. Over the years Twins has successfully designed a whole range of training equipment to assist in a Muay Thai practitioner’s training.The management at Twins strongly believes in the values of Thai tradition of paying homage to the ancestors. With a sense of obligation to them, the company is committed to preserve the roots of Muay Thai and turn them into a “fighting spirit” by developing products of excellence, to be appreciated by people around the world.
