The 4 Commitments Of Macho

Macho is the only martial arts manufacturer with a 40 year legacy dedicated to ensuring product safety, quality standards, and testing. Over the years Macho has played an active role in setting the standard for martial arts sparring gear requirements, and in 2000 became a member of the ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) Committee to develop the standard specification for protective headgear used in martial arts.

Over the years we have remained committed to the following:

Providing high-quality products at competitive prices
Using the highest-quality materials we can find
Exceeding our long-held standards for safety and protection
Testing products in the lab and in the field before we sell them

We accomplish these 4 commitments by being the only sparring gear manufacturer who has published the results of independent laboratory testing to make sure our gear provides optimal protection. We are credited as a major influence behind safety standards in the martial arts industry, and do whatever it takes to improve design and safety for those that matter most: martial artists.

Many of the employees of Macho are martial artists and are passionate about the industry they work to protect. Dr. Dennis Lieu, research expert at the University of California Berkeley who conducted the laboratory testing for Macho, was also a martial artist. Having first-hand knowledge of what martial artists need and expect from their gear helped Dr. Lieu understand the right mix of criteria needed to conduct testing for the industry.

Today, we continue to influence the industry through consistent improvements in product design, while staying true to the 4 Commitments of Macho listed above.
