Multifunctional. For every martial art.

Kicking shields are among the most versatile training tools in martial arts – suitable for kickboxing, thai boxing, karate, taekwondo, krav maga, MMA and self-defense training. They offer more cushioning and protection than punching mitts, can withstand more powerful impact and have a much larger striking surface – making them particularly suitable for group training and intensive full-power sessions.

Fight2Win carries flat models for maximum versatility, curved models for a more natural arc of movement when practicing round kicks and crosses, and an angled model for training uppercuts and elbows. Super Pro is available in size M (60x30x15 cm) and L (75x35x15 cm) – all other models are available in one size.

All the shields in our range have a comfortable weight and ideal firmness – not too light and not too heavy, not too soft and not too hard. The Booster CKS Pro is somewhat firmer and more suitable for advanced fighters who want to go all out

Kicking shields from Fight2Win - Super Pro, Booster, and Everlast for home and gym use

Fight2Win carries kicking shields from Super Pro, Booster and Everlast - a carefully curated selection of brands that have proven their quality in professional gyms and training camps worldwide.

All kicking shields in our range are selected for a comfortable weight and firmness - not too light and not too heavy, not too soft and not too hard. This makes them suitable for a broad audience: from beginners and children to advanced fighters and professional trainers. The Booster CKS Pro is somewhat harder and more suitable for experienced fighters who want to go all out.

The range includes flat and curved models, in sizes M and L, made from Bisonyl, Skintex and synthetic leather. All models have multiple handles on the back for a good grip in various positions.

Kicking shields are multifunctional—suitable for kickboxing, thai boxing, karate, taekwondo, krav maga, MMA and self-defense training. An essential training tool for every gym and home gym.

Flat, curved, or angled—which kicking shield model suits your training?

Fight2Win offers kicking shields in three shapes, each with its own training focus.

The flat model (Super Pro Black/Red, Booster CKS/CKS Pro, Everlast Titan) is the most versatile format. Suitable for all basic techniques—front kicks, round kicks, low kicks, punches, knees, and elbows. The flat shape provides a large, uniform striking surface, making the shield accessible to all skill levels.

The curved model (Super Pro Curved Black/Red) has a slight natural curve that makes it more comfortable to kick the center of the shield. The curve follows the natural arc of a round kick or cross, benefiting technique. Personal preference plays a role—in training experience, flat and curved models are largely equivalent.

The angled model (Super Pro Black with angle) has an angled shape at the top, making specific techniques such as uppercuts particularly comfortable to train on. The choice for trainers who also want to incorporate uppercuts and upward elbows into their training.

Bisonyl, Skintex and synthetic leather – the outer material of a kicking shield

The kicking shields in the Fight2Win range are made from three different outer materials—each with its own properties.

Bisonyl (Super Pro, Booster CKS)—a particularly strong and moisture-resistant material that can withstand intensive use without wearing out quickly. Bisonyl is the most commonly used material in professional kicking shields—resistant to sweat, moisture, and the impact of hard kicks and punches. Low-maintenance and durable.

Skintex (Booster CKS Pro)—a high-quality synthetic material with a slightly softer feel than Bisonyl, but comparable durability. Skintex is used in the sturdier Booster CKS Pro, which is more suitable for advanced fighters.

Synthetic leather (Everlast Titan)—robust and durable, with a premium look. The Everlast Titan is specifically designed for maximum shock absorption and an ergonomic design, making it suitable for intensive training at all levels.

In daily training, the three materials are equivalent—the difference lies in their feel, appearance, and the specific properties of each brand.

Size M or L – and what the weight of a kicking shield means

Most kicking shields in the Fight2Win range are available in one size (L), but Super Pro also offers a size M .

Size M (60x30x15 cm) – more manageable and lighter, easy to take to training sessions, seminars, and courses. Suitable for children and as an extra shield for trainers who want flexibility. Due to its smaller size, it is slightly less versatile than the L, but fully adequate for most basic techniques.

Size L (75x35x15 cm or similar) – the standard size for professional use. Large enough for virtually all techniques, from front kicks to high kicks and from crosses to knee strikes. It covers almost the entire user's body, making the shield suitable for group training involving multiple practitioners.

About weight – this is not necessarily a matter of build quality. You don't want kicking shields that are too light, but neither do you want extremely heavy ones, so everyone can hold them properly and comfortably, including during longer training sessions. All shields in our range are deliberately selected for a comfortable weight that suits most trainers and athletes.

Kicking shields for all martial arts – kickboxing, thai boxing, karate and more

A kicking shield is one of the most multifunctional training tools in martial arts—suitable for virtually any discipline involving kicking, pushing, kneeing, or striking.

Kickboxing and thai boxing - the kicking shield is the central training tool for practicing roundhouse kicks, low kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes at full power. The trainer holds the shield while the athlete performs their techniques, creating a realistic and safe training experience.

Karate and taekwondo - for practicing front kicks, high kicks, and combinations on a large and stable target surface.

Krav maga and self-defense - kicking shields are a popular training tool in self-defense courses and resilience training, where full-power training and realistic impact are central.

Group training - kicking shields offer more cushioning and protection than punching mitts, making them particularly suitable for group training involving multiple practitioners. Everyone, from young to old and at every skill level, benefits from training with a sturdy kicking shield.

Maintenance of kicking shields - Bisonyl and synthetic leather are easy to maintain

Kicking shields made of Bisonyl, Skintex, and synthetic leather are all low-maintenance - a major advantage over leather training equipment.

After each training session - wipe the shield with a slightly damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Allow it to dry completely before storing. Bisonyl and synthetic leather are moisture-resistant—sweat does not damage the material during normal use, but prolonged contact with moisture can eventually affect the seams and padding.

Storage - store the kicking shield in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV light can cause the outer material to fade and weaken. Do not hang the shield in an unheated garage or damp storage area.

Handles and seams - periodically check the handles and seams for wear. The handles are the most heavily stressed part of a kicking shield—a handle coming loose poses a safety risk during training. At the first signs of wear on the seams or handles, replacement is recommended.

Padding - the foam padding can compress after prolonged, extremely intensive use. This is normal wear and tear. A professional-quality kicking shield retains its shape and shock-absorbing properties significantly longer than a cheaper version.

Frequently asked questions — Kicking shields

Which is better: a hard or a soft kicking shield?

That depends on the exercise, the feel you want on contact, and the experience of the athlete and pad holder. A softer pad feels different on impact; a firmer pad can provide more direct feedback.

Don’t choose solely based on the rule that soft pads are for beginners and firm pads are for advanced athletes. Size, thickness, material, contact surface, and how the pad is held also matter. Neither type makes striking incorrectly or training too hard safe.

What is the difference between punching mitts, focus pads, Thai pads, and kicking shields?

Punching mitts and focus pads are compact targets for focused pad work, usually involving punches or light precision techniques. Thai pads are held against the arm and are designed for combinations that also include kicks.

Punching shields provide a larger target for punching combinations. A kicking shield is designed for kick training and has a different shape and grip. Size alone does not determine how much impact is safe; adjust your technique and intensity to the specific pad and the person holding it.

Why are some kicking shields slightly curved?

A slight curve gives the striking surface a different shape from a flat pad. This can be comfortable for certain kicking angles and the position in which the pad holder holds it.

Whether a curved pad works better also depends on its size, padding, handles and the exercise. The curve alone does not prove better shock absorption or a lower risk of injury.

Collections

Which sports are kicking shields suitable for?

Kicking shields are one of the most versatile training tools in martial arts—suitable for kickboxing, Muay Thai, Karate, Taekwondo, Krav Maga, MMA, and self-defense training. They provide more padding than punching mitts, withstand more powerful impacts, and have a larger striking surface—ideal for group training and intense full-power sessions.

Which kicking shield is the best?

The best kicking shield depends on your level and training goals. For beginners and children the Super Pro(size M or L) is the best choice – a comfortable weight, ideal firmness, and versatile enough for all martial arts. For advanced kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters who want to go all out, the Booster CKS Pro or King Pro Boxing CKS Prois the better choice – harder material that can withstand the most powerful kicks. Would you also like to train punches and elbows Then the Super Pro Black with angle is a smart addition. Not sure?
