This is our second Macho Sports Karate Chest Guard. We don't need anything overly thick 'cause we plan on blocking whatever is thrown our way. This one is a bit higher cut on the bottom end which doesn't impede the ability to kick strong or kick high. We also have a Century chest guard which has more protection when practicing against older, stronger, faster team members.....but the Century slows down kicks since you lift your leg and it lifts the chest guard. For fast, competent competition, the Macho Sports Karate Chest Guard is preferred. This comment was added by a Texas Competitor (NBL, AOK, TKO), not someone who works for Macho.
