Red Dragon HEMA

Our Red Dragon Knee Guards offer great protection from knee strikes. The knee is protected by a rigid plastic plate to disperse the force of the blow, whilst the generous layer of foam padding beneath absorbs the force. The sides of the knee are further protected by integrated plastic plates with foam padding.

The guards are held firmly in place with an elasticated Velcro strap around the back of the knee and can be tied to fencing breeches where possible. Best when used in conjunction with our Red Dragon Shin Guards. One size only.

Our Red Dragon Shin Guards offer great protection from strikes below the knee. The shin is protected by a rigid plastic plate to disperse the force of the blow, whilst the generous layer of foam padding beneath absorbs the force. The calf and ankle are further protected by integrated plastic plates with foam padding. The guards are held firmly in place with 2 elasticated Velcro straps around the back of the calf and secured around the ankle with a nylon webbed strap.

Lightweight and durable, a winning combination for HEMA practitioners everywhere! Best when used in conjunction with our Red Dragon Knee Guards. One size only.

Offering some of the best protection and mobility on the market, our Knee and Shin Protectors are so well articulated you hardly know that you are wearing them. Unlike other leg protectors, ours articulate "with" the knee rather than restrict movement and most importantly offer side protection for the knee which is lacking on most of the protectors that are currently used. They are much less bulky than other protectors and due to their superior padding can be used for both synthetic and (blunt) steel sparring.

Features removable padded liner that can be washed.

Tip: People find that crossing the straps at the back give a more secure fit.

One size only.

Our Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Messer Blades are manufactured from our own special blend of plastic to provide strong and flexible sparring blade. The blade/tang joint (traditionally a weak point) is reinforced by a high tensile steel rod running along the full length of the handle. This also removes any flex in the handle traditionally associated with plastic training swords. The edges are left smooth to prevent friction burns but can be roughened with sandpaper for a better bind.
