More people want to feel strong, be strong, and look strong by doing martial arts. However due to most martial arts being barefoot friction blisters can commonly occur when the foot continuously rubs and pivots against the mats/surfaces trained on. Although many of these athletes adopt the ‘no pain no gain’ mentality it is not healthy.

Currently strapping tape is the most commonly used solution to protect the foot when training, and it does its job well. However, it can be time consuming application that requires precision and dexterity. If someone needs to apply during their session it would not only disrupt their training flow state, but is difficult to apply because of shaky and sweaty limbs.
