Why WAKO certification matters
When you train hard and go to a competition, you need to be sure that your equipment is approved and safe. WAKO certification guarantees that protectors, helmets, and gloves meet strict standards. This is important for your safety and to avoid disqualification in the ring.
What the line includes
The category of WAKO approved equipment covers all the essential protectors you need for kickboxing competitions. Here you will find helmets with or without full face protection, depending on the discipline. We also have chest protectors, shin and foot protectors, as well as sparring and competition gloves. For some disciplines, elbow pads and groin protectors are also needed.
Our brands
Since opening the store in 2007, I have always insisted on quality equipment. That's why we decided to create our own brands - SZ Fighters and SZ Sport. We started them because I saw the problems Bulgarian clubs had with finding good equipment at normal prices. I wanted to offer something that was tested, durable, and affordable. All the protectors and gloves we offer under these brands are designed with the Bulgarian competitor and coach in mind. We are aware of WAKO's requirements and strive to comply with them. In addition, in the store you will find supplements from brands like AllMax Nutrition, with which you can support your recovery after heavy training.
Before competition
Always try on your equipment several times before the competition itself. Make sure everything is comfortable and fits well. Check that the helmet does not restrict your visibility and that the gloves are not too tight. Sometimes small things can make a big difference in your performance.
