Research & Development

Innovation is Our Middle Name

Macho Martial Arts’ research and development team is the driving force behind the brand we believe in. Our product line puts safety and quality first, and we strive for a customer satisfaction rating that exceeds all expectations. Because of this dedication to quality, customers who buy from Macho continue to buy our products, and leading martial artists prefer Macho’s martial arts products above all others.

There is a reason Macho has a reputation for being a leader in the martial arts community. Macho was the first company (and for many years the only company) to test its gear. Almost every feature in Macho’s martial arts sparring gear was once patented by Macho. Today, these features have become industry standard. Macho’s products come with an expertise and mastery that no other company possesses. The differences are subtle but significant. Fit, feel, comfort and safety… these are features you cannot copy without the knowledge and expertise that years of thorough testing and research provide. Macho’s research and development team are masters in their craft, and that is why Macho sparring gear has the highest reputation.

In addition to Macho’s formal and independent lab tests, products are punched thousands of times, kicked repeatedly and put through crash tests – and punched again. A long-standing tradition in the research process is listening to people whose standards matter the most: martial artists. From the very beginning, Macho has had the honor of working with some of the biggest names in martial arts history. Our team asks for feedback, carefully listens, and takes it into consideration when the next generation of product development begins. Macho also uses focus groups to field test developing products and gauge their effectiveness and appeal.

Any martial arts product that features the Macho name has been designed and tested from the highest quality materials we can find.
