In Historical European Martial Arts, the arms and hands are particularly exposed to impacts during fights. This category includes essential equipment to protect these vulnerable areas.
Gloves are the central element of this protection, offering a compromise between safety and dexterity. They are available in different models, ranging from soft gloves for better sensitivity to reinforced gloves for maximum protection.
Arm guards complement this protection by covering the forearms and elbows. Some models incorporate articulated plates for optimal mobility.
The selection of materials and the design of these equipment aim to offer a balance between effective protection and freedom of movement, thus meeting the specific requirements of different HEMA disciplines. These protections allow practitioners to fully engage in their exercises and fights while minimizing the risk of injuries to the upper limbs.
