Headgear (martial arts)

Headgear is a padded helmet, worn on the head by contestants in Amateur and Olympic boxing.

During the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the team of Daniel Lewis called for the decision to be reevaluated after he was ruled out after sustaining a cut during a match.

It features either soft or hard plastic ear covers and straps around the chin and back of the head.

Point fighting headgear, which is commonly required in sport karate tournaments is made of a molded and dipped foam.

It is designed to protect against accidental impact, including the head hitting the floor after a slip or knockdown.
