Kicking shields

A kicking shield is also a popular tool for self-defense courses and/or resilience training that should not be missing.

Large kicking shields for all martial arts

Large kicking shields are used in karate, taekwondo, krav maga, kickboxing, thai boxing, MMA, muay thai, and many more martial arts.

The large kicking shields are suitable for many fighters and recreationalists during training. Everyone from young to old and all levels benefits from training with a large and sturdy kicking shield. They come in various types and price ranges.

For beginners, advanced, children, and adults

A good kicking shield is also ideal for beginners and children who frankly are not yet very accurate. They are also very suitable for advanced practitioners because they can fully apply their technique with these shields.

Kicking shields are designed to help practitioners practice all kinds of techniques from powerful kicks to punches, high kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes.

They offer more cushioning and protection than punching mitts for both the trainer and the practitioner because they withstand stronger impact and have a much larger surface area. Kicking and punching shields are also often used in group training sessions involving multiple practitioners.

Types of kicking shields

There are different types of kicking shields that mainly differ in hardness, size, handles, shape, and weight.

Size of kicking shield:

• Medium
• Large

Kicking shields are usually about the same size and cover almost the entire body of the user. Some brands, like Super Pro, offer a choice between medium and large models. Usually, the larger variant is chosen, but this partly depends on the target group.

Shape of kicking shield:

There are straight and slightly curved kicking shields. Both are suitable for the same types of training and it partly comes down to personal preference.

Handles and closures:

Almost all kicking shields have multiple handles to hold the shield. Usually at least 2, but sometimes more.

Hardness and weight:

The shields in our assortment all have (our conscious choice) a pleasant weight and comfortable hardness. Not too light and not too heavy, but also not too soft or too hard. The Booster CKS and King Pro CKS are a bit harder and more suitable for advanced fighters.

Weight of kicking shield:

This is not necessarily a matter of build quality. You usually don’t want very light kicking shields, but also not very heavy ones, so everyone can hold them well and comfortably.

Advantages of kicking shields:

• Train at full power
• Maximum protection for the holder
• Suitable for kicks, knee techniques, and elbows
• Suitable for all target groups

The above points are just a selection of the benefits you can gain from training with kicking shields. In short, every serious gym should have several kicking shields!
