Elbow pads

Elbow pads play an essential role in the practice of historical martial arts. They are designed to protect a particularly vulnerable part of the body: the elbow.

In disciplines such as medieval fencing, HEMA, or any other history-inspired martial art, rapid movements and strikes can often result in impacts to the elbows. Without adequate protection, this can lead to painful and sometimes serious injuries. Elbow pads not only provide protection against these risks, but they are also designed not to hinder freedom of movement, allowing for safe and effective practice.

Their use dates back centuries, and their design has been refined over time, combining durable materials and comfortable fit. For any serious practitioner of historical martial arts, adding elbow pads to one's equipment is a crucial step towards safe and authentic practice.
