An amateur body protector is a piece of protective gear used mainly in boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and other combat sports to safeguard the torso during training or amateur competitions. Here’s a breakdown:

Features of an Amateur Body Protector

Coverage: Protects the chest, ribs, and stomach area from punches, kicks, and body shots.

Padding: Made with high-density foam or layered padding to absorb impact and reduce injury risk.

Design: Lightweight compared to professional body protectors, making it easier for beginners or amateur athletes to train comfortably.

Adjustable Fit: Usually comes with straps, buckles, or Velcro closures for secure attachment.

Durability: Constructed with synthetic leather (PU, PVC) or genuine leather, depending on quality and budget.

Purpose

Shields against body blows during sparring.

Helps build confidence for amateur fighters learning to take and deliver strikes.

Allows coaches or partners to safely receive punches/kicks during pad work.

Difference from Professional Body Protectors

Amateur body protectors → lighter, more flexible, less bulky, suited for training and beginner-level sparring.

Professional body protectors → thicker padding, heavier, designed for high-impact strikes from advanced fighters.
