Sizing typically depends on chest circumference and torso length. Most manufacturers provide a sizing chart. It's important that the guard fits snugly without restricting movement, offering full coverage of the vital torso area.
While not always mandatory for every training session, chest guards are highly recommended and often required for sparring, especially in competitive environments or when practicing with full contact. They are crucial for ensuring fighter safety.
