Entry-level guards for stand-up kicks
The black Venum Contender 1.5 XT 3D shin guards cover your shin and instep during partner kick drills, pad work and stand-up sparring. Choose them if you are starting out in Muay Thai, kickboxing or MMA and want lightweight guards for regular training. Venum designs them for 3–4 sessions a week.

Embossed 3D motif and lightweight construction
Injected foam in both the shin and instep sections absorbs impact in kicks and blocks. The guard is lightweight, so it does not weigh your leg down as you move, and the synthetic leather outer wipes clean easily after training.
Two hook-and-loop straps at the back let you adjust the fit around your calf so the guard does not slip. The black outer has an embossed 3D pattern of Venum lettering, with a gold logo on the shin and gold lettering on the instep.
Choosing your size
How the guards should sit on your leg
Sizes M, L and XL are available. Let shin length and comfort decide: the padding should cover the shin from just below the knee to the instep, and the instep section should lie on the top of your foot.
The straps take care of the fit around your calf but cannot change the length. If the guard ends too high or presses into your knee, change size.
- Fasten both strapsTighten them so the guard stays put without squeezing your calf.
- Walk and bend your legThe top edge should not press into your knee when you bend it.
- Kick out and blockThe guard should stay centred on the shin and the instep section on your foot.
Size guide
Choose your size using shin length. Measurements are in centimetres.
| Size | Shin length (cm) |
|---|---|
| M | 36 |
| L | 38 |
| XL | 40 |
How to measure: Measure your shin from just below the knee to the ankle joint. Use your shin length, rather than your whole leg or the guard’s instep section.
Fit advice: Between sizes, Venum recommends the smaller option for a closer fit or the larger option for more room around the calf.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use them for sparring too?
Yes, Venum lists them for Muay Thai, kickboxing and sparring. Check with your coach whether they meet your gym's sparring rules, as these vary.
What if the guard twists round?
Check the size and the tightness of both straps. If it sits correctly on the shin and still slides, it may be too big for your leg, and strapping it tighter will not fix that.
Is there any difference from the white version apart from the colour?
No, it is the same model with the same construction, padding and sizes. The only difference is the colour of the outer.
How do I look after them after training?
Take them out of your bag, wipe them with a damp cloth and let them air dry. Do not dry them on a radiator or machine wash them.
The foam in the guards softens the impact of kicks and blocks, but it does not make you injury-proof. Agree the intensity with your partner and coach.

Venum: the official outfitter of UFC fighters
Venum is a French combat sports brand founded in 2006 and, since 2021, the exclusive outfitting partner of the UFC. Every fighter who walks into the Octagon wears Venum, which tells you most of what you need to know about how the gear performs under pressure. The brand covers MMA, boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, from a first pair of gloves to competition kit.
What sets Venum apart is the combination of construction and design. Gloves use multi-density foams, attached thumbs and wide hook-and-loop closures; shorts and rashguards use light, stretch fabrics with reinforced seams; and the whole range shares a look that people wear outside the gym as well as inside it. Many of the leather gloves are handcrafted in Thailand, the home of Muay Thai.

- Protection – shin guards, Challenger headgear, groin guards, ankle supports and Kontact hand wraps.
