Electronic protectors are a chain of approved pieces that must work together, with the valid area drawn on the protector itself and an impact threshold calibrated by category. The point originates from the sensor for kicks, sensor and judge for punches, and the spin kick bonus depends on system validation.

On the purchasing level, the division is clear. You can find an electronic vest and helmet in competitions, and buying them makes sense for training. You bring sensorized shoes and personal protection.

The 1910 is a line that is bought for two different and legitimate reasons: the object and the material. In both cases the leather is the reason for the purchase and the reason why it must be looked after. If you train every day and want the shape without the constraints of laces, there is the sparring version with Velcro. If you have a meeting on the calendar, race equipment is another matter.

The question to ask before buying a dobok is about the federation, not the model. In the WT circuit, the WT approval, the white or transparent mouthguard of at least 3 mm and the two-color helmet, with electronic vest and helmet provided by the tournament, count. On the ITF circuit, the ITF approval, the position of the flag and logos on the dobok, the belt size and the weight of the gloves, which changes at fourteen, count.
