Rival punching shields

From Rival RPS7 is the punching shield from the Rival Fitness+ line—designed for athletes and trainers looking for a reliable, lightweight, and versatile punching shield for daily use. Rival is one of the most respected boxing brands in the world, founded by boxer and cutman Russ Anber and used by world champions such as Vasyl Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk.

The RPS7 is made of Polyurethane — a lightweight and resilient material with a pleasant punch response. Neither too hard nor too soft, with sufficient cushioning for powerful punches and full-force combinations. The shield measures 32x32x10 cm — a compact and manageable size suitable for all basic techniques.

The RPS7 is available in five colors: silver-black, gold-black, red-black, navy, and tricolor — allowing gyms and trainers to choose based on preference or brand identity.

It is the best-selling punching shield in the Fight2Win range—well stocked and available for immediate delivery from our warehouse in Waddinxveen.

The Rival RPS7 is made of Polyurethane - a synthetic material that is widely used in the sports industry for training equipment that needs to be lightweight, flexible, and low-maintenance.

Impact response - Polyurethane has a slightly softer and more resilient impact response than Bisonyl or leather. The pad flexes slightly on impact, making it comfortable for longer training sessions and for athletes who are just starting with pad training. For advanced boxers looking for a harder, more direct response, the leather models from Cleto Reyes or Twins are the next step.

Weight - Polyurethane is lighter than leather and Bisonyl, making the RPS7 easy to handle for trainers who hold the pad for long periods during intense sessions. The weight of the RPS7 was deliberately chosen—not too light and not too heavy—so everyone can hold the pad comfortably.

Care - Polyurethane is completely maintenance-free. Wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth after every training session. Resistant to sweat and moisture without additional care or conditioning. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

The Rival RPS7 measures 32x32x10 cm - a compact and easy-to-handle punching shield that is exactly large enough for all basic techniques without becoming awkward for the trainer.

Strike surface - 32x32 cm is spacious enough for jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts, yet compact enough to move the shield quickly and present it in changing positions. The trainer can hold the shield low for body shots, high for head shots, and sideways for hooks—without its weight or size getting in the way.

Thickness - with 10 cm of padding, the RPS7 provides sufficient cushioning for powerful full-force punches. The foam padding effectively absorbs impact and protects the trainer's hand and arm, even during repeated hard punches in longer training sessions.

Comparison - the Super Pro Multi Strike Shield (39x39x15 cm), Booster XTREME (41x41x13 cm), Winning CM-85, and Cleto Reyes Round Punch (both 40x40x15 cm) are considerably larger and thicker—offering more striking surface and more cushioning for heavier punches. The RPS7 is the compact and convenient choice for trainers who prioritize speed and mobility over maximum cushioning.

The Rival RPS7 is available in five color variants—all the same model, size, and material; only the color scheme differs.

Silver-Black - the most neutral and versatile color scheme. It suits virtually any gym branding and is the most popular variant in the range.

Gold-Black - a premium look that fits the Rival brand identity. The choice for trainers who want a distinctive look without straying from a professional appearance.

Red-Black - the classic boxing color. Recognizable, energetic, and timeless—a staple in every gym.

Navy - a calm and professional color scheme that pairs well with blue or dark gym colors. Less common than red or silver, but a deliberate choice for trainers who want to move away from the standard.

Tricolor (red-blue-white) - the most eye-catching variant, inspired by national colors. Currently sold out.

The choice is entirely personal—all variants perform identically. Gyms that purchase multiple pads sometimes deliberately choose different colors to distinguish the pads quickly during group training sessions.

The Rival RPS7 is designed for all martial arts in which powerful punches and combinations are central - and is used worldwide in boxing gyms and training facilities.

Boxing - the punching shield is the central training tool for jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts at full power. The trainer holds the RPS7 while the boxer performs their combinations—providing a realistic and safe training experience with more resistance than a hand pad and more precision than a punching bag.

Kickboxing and thai boxing - in addition to kicking techniques on the kicking shield, the RPS7 is used to train knee strikes and elbow strikes at close range. Its compact size makes the shield easy to position for low knee strikes and high elbows.

Krav Maga and self-defense - thanks to its light weight and convenient size, the RPS7 is also suitable for training powerful punches in realistic scenarios, with the trainer quickly presenting the shield in changing positions.

Group training - thanks to its comfortable weight and maintenance-free Polyurethane exterior, the RPS7 is ideal for gyms that need multiple shields for group training. Well stocked in four colors.

The Rival RPS7 is one of the lowest-maintenance punching shields in the range—a major advantage for gyms that use multiple shields and don’t want to spend time on extensive care.

After every training session - wipe the shield with a slightly damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Allow it to dry completely before storing. Polyurethane is fully moisture-resistant—sweat does not damage the material under normal use.

Storage - store the RPS7 in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV light may eventually cause the Polyurethane to discolor. In a gym, this is rarely a problem—for home use, it’s worth avoiding permanent storage of the shield in direct sunlight.

Handles and seams - periodically check the handles and seams for wear. With intensive daily use in a gym, these are the most heavily stressed parts of the shield. At the first signs of wear on the seams or handles, replacement is recommended.

No conditioning, no special cleaning products—wiping and proper storage are all the RPS7 needs.
