WKF Body Protectors

WKF approved body protectors are essential for safe and compliant karate kumite  competition. Designed to meet World Karate Federation (WKF) standards, these protectors help reduce impact and minimise the risk of injury without restricting movement.

We stock premium WKF body protectors from trusted brands such as Budo-Nord and Hayashi known for their lightweight design, durability and competition-ready performance. Developed in line with WKF requirements, these protectors are widely used in both training and official tournaments.

Featuring a lightweight and flexible construction, WKF body protectors are designed to dampen and distribute impact across a wider area, helping reduce the risk of rib injuries while allowing fast, unrestricted movement during sparring.

Worn underneath the gi like a vest, each WKF approved body protector includes adjustable straps for a secure and personalised fit. The design ensures comfort and stability, even during intense kumite sessions.

Our range also includes WKF approved body protection for women, designed for comfort, breathability and freedom of movement. These protectors must be paired with a WKF approved female chest guard and sports bra to ensure proper protection and compliance during competition.

Trusted by karate practitioners across Australia and New Zealand, our WKF body protectors are suitable for both competition and everyday training.
