get the csi shin guards. The traditional muay thai shin guards use buckles or velcro strap. They dont stay on your legs as well as this neoprene or lycra stuff. It just adheres to you like a wetsuit.
the grappling ones are made of like foam padding, and u can use them but i wouldnt recommend hard thai style sparring with them by any means. they're good for MMA bouts where you work groundgame though.

I've only got the thai style and they suck for MMA. I definately need to get the CSIs. Pretty much everyone in my gym wears them. I noticed they've got a new style (open back). Anyone have any experience with those?
The CSI and Top Contender Grappling shin guards are definately the best ones to get
You mean the CSI grappling Shin Guards? Are they good for Stand-Up too?
