The ankle joint is placed under considerable stress during Muay Thai and is often in danger of buckling & spraining during fighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A rolled or sprained ankle can easily place a fighter on the shelf for several weeks or months. In extreme cases, ankle injuries can jeopardize somebody’s fighting career altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ankle plays a pivotal part in keeping the leg stable during movement. Moves such as kicking, kneeing and punching<\/a> rely on the stability of the ankle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTherefore, it’s imperative that the ankle is protected and secure during Muay Thai. Not only will ankle supports keep a fighter protected but it will also give them increased stability to help you generate maximum power in your strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Makes A Good Ankle Support?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A good Muay Thai ankle support will keep your ankles secure and safe without overly constricting them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If an ankle support is too tight, it can backfire and massively affect your flexibility and movement which can cause injury and poor performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure that your ankle support fits properly and allows you to retain your mobility. Your performance level will not be affected, and you will have extra support for your lower body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
