Booster kicking shields – maximum versatility at a fair price
Booster is a brand that has proven itself in martial arts—known for products that strike the balance between accessibility and professionalism. The Booster kicking shields are a good example: sturdy, versatile, and affordable, without compromising on the quality you expect in a serious gym.
The range consists of two models, each serving its own target audience. The CKS is the entry-level model for all levels—including children. The CKS Pro has a firmer filling and is aimed at advanced fighters who want to go all out.
Both shields are made of Bysonyl —a particularly sturdy, moisture-resistant material that withstands intensive use.
Booster CKS or CKS Pro – two models, two target groups
Booster CKS (75 x 35 x 15 cm, flat model) Booster’s large entry-level model. Medium-firm padding suitable for all levels—from children to advanced fighters. The large striking surface makes it versatile: punches, kicks, knees, elbows, and jumping kicks are all possible. Two belts on the back plus a handle for a stable grip. In the mid-range price range.
Booster CKS Pro (60 x 35 x 15 cm, curved model) The professional model for advanced fighters. More firmly padded than the CKS—you can kick it at nearly full power without hurting the trainer. The curved design provides a more natural movement arc for round kicks and crosses. Four handles around the pad plus two belts for maximum grip in any position. Slightly more compact than the CKS, but more heavily padded. In the mid-range price range.
Buying advice: Beginners, children, and gyms looking for a versatile pad should choose the CKS. Advanced kickboxers and coaches working with powerful fighters should choose the CKS Pro.
Booster kicking shields – size, weight and firmness
Of CKS is the larger model (75 x 35 x 15 cm) with medium-firm padding. Its comfortable weight makes it suitable for extended sessions—including for trainers who need to hold the pad for a long time. Thanks to its large striking surface, it is also suitable for children and beginners who are still working on precision.
Of CKS Pro is slightly more compact (60 x 35 x 15 cm) but has firmer padding. Its curved design makes it particularly suitable for round kicks and crosses —techniques for which a flat pad feels less comfortable. The firmer padding requires a fighter who has already developed strength and technique.
Both models are one-size —no size selection is needed.
Booster kicking shields – sleek in black, available for immediate delivery
Both Booster kicking shields are available in a sleek black design with Booster branding. No flashy prints—functional and professional, suitable for any gym.
Fight2Win carries both models in its range and delivers quickly from the Netherlands throughout the Benelux and EU. Check the product pages for current availability.
Booster kicking shields for kickboxing, karate, Muay Thai, and more
The Booster kicking shields are designed for kickboxing, but thanks to their large striking surface and sturdy construction, they are also excellently suited for karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, krav maga and MMA. Knee strikes and elbow strikes can be trained safely thanks to the thick padding layer.
The CKS is particularly popular with gyms that work with mixed groups—beginners, children and advanced athletes can all train on the same pad. The CKS Pro is the choice for coaches who work with advanced kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters who go all out.
Booster kicking shields – maintenance and lifespan
Both Booster kicking shields are made of Bysonyl - a sturdy, moisture-resistant material that is easy to keep clean. Wipe the shield after each session with a damp cloth and let it dry before storing.
Do not use harsh cleaning products—a mild soap solution is sufficient. Store the shields away from direct sunlight and not in a damp room.
With proper use and maintenance, Booster kicking shields will last for many hours of training, even with regular use in a professional gym. The extra-reinforced seams ensure that the shields can withstand intensive use.

Both work well for any training session, so let’s establish that first.
However, there are differences and situations in which you would prefer a hard or soft kicking shield.
Soft kicking shields are generally more suitable for beginners than hard kicking shields. Beginners are not yet accustomed to hitting objects or other people with body parts such as their shins and feet. Simply put, they are not yet as toughened or conditioned. Soft pads hurt the person performing the technique less.
However, (too) soft kicking shields can also have drawbacks for beginners. Take a forward (front) kick with the toes pulled back, for example. If the pad is too soft, your toes can get caught in it, which can still lead to (unnecessary) injuries.
Another disadvantage of soft kicking shields is that you may simply kick through them, unnecessarily causing pain to the person holding the shield.
Hard kicking shields are particularly suitable once you have mastered the techniques well, allowing you to perform them at (almost) full power without causing your partner too much harm. Hard kicking shields can generally absorb more impact. This can make a huge difference, especially with true "power kicks" such as a back kick.
However, if you kick a hard kicking shield incorrectly—for example, with a roundhouse kick using the instep/foot incorrectly—you will notice this from the pain you experience.
What is the difference between punching mitts, focus pads, Thai pads, and kicking shields?
Punching mitts, also known as focus pads , are compact pads that are held by a trainer during a training session. The terms punching mitts and focus pads are used interchangeably. However, in our opinion, there are subtle differences between them, which is why our website distinguishes between them. Punching mitts are primarily intended for punches and punching techniques.
Thai pads, also known as kickpads or pao, are larger pads held by a trainer to practise both punches and kicks.
Punching shields are usually large, round cushions that the trainer or partner holds in front of the body. They are especially suitable for various punching techniques, including hooks, liver punches, and uppercuts.
Kicking shields are the really large cushions for punching and kicking. They are ideal for beginners and children who, frankly, cannot yet aim very well. They are also very suitable for advanced practitioners, as these pads allow them to practise their technique at full power .
Some kicking shields are slightly curved, unlike the usually straight shape. The idea behind this is to better imitate the natural shape of the body and the way kicks and punches are caught.
Some trainers believe this makes training more comfortable and also more effective.
Reasons for the slight curve in kicking shields:
Better force absorption: the curved shape of kicking shields helps absorb the impact of kicks and punches more effectively. This reduces the pressure on the arms and shoulders of the person holding the shield.
Natural posture: the shield follows the natural shape of the body, resulting in a more comfortable posture when catching kicks and punches.
Improved grip: the curved shape can also contribute to better grip and stability of the shield. This makes it easier for the trainer/partner to hold the shield.
Reduced injuries: thanks to better shock absorption and a more natural posture, the curved shield can help prevent injuries to both the trainer and the person training.
Realistic training: the curved shape of the kicking shield also makes training more realistic, as it allows you to better imitate the movements of a real opponent.
