Specific features

+ Reinforced seams

All seams of this punching shield are extra reinforced. This prevents tearing and deformation during intensive use, so the shield lasts for many hours of training without any loss of quality.
+ Lightweight construction

Despite its thick padding, this punching shield is lightweight in construction. This makes it easy to take to training and comfortable for the holder to hold - even during longer sessions when the arms can become tired.
+ Multi-strike: suitable for punches and kicks

This pad is designed as a multi-strike training tool: suitable for uppercuts, hooks, liver shots, and all types of kicking techniques. Its sturdy construction and thick padding make it versatile for boxing, kickboxing, thai boxing, and krav maga.
+ Easy-Grip handles with padding

The two sturdy handles feature extra padding, so you can hold the pad comfortably - even during longer training sessions. The Easy-Grip design gives the holder a secure grip for powerful punches and kicks without tiring the hands.
+ Smooth striking surface (32x32 cm)

The striking surface of these punching shields measures 32x32 cm - large enough for uppercuts, hooks, and body shots. Thanks to its large contact area, the shield is forgiving of less accurate strikes, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced athletes.
+ Carbonium PU exterior

The exterior of this pad is made from Carbonium PU - the same material as the Rival RPM7 punching mitts. This durable synthetic material is abrasion-resistant and can withstand intensive use for punches and kicks. The large panels with minimal stitching provide a smooth, uniform striking surface. All seams are reinforced for extra durability, so the pad will last through many hours of training without tearing or deforming.
+ Printed Rival graphics

The printed Rival graphics give the product its recognizable Rival look. The prints are sharp, colorfast, and resistant to sweat and intensive use - so the product still looks sleek even after many training sessions.
Rival deliberately chooses high-quality printing processes that preserve the color and sharpness of the design for a long time. A subtle yet visible sign of the attention to detail that Rival puts into every product.

7.5 cm multi-layer foam padding

This punching shield has 7.5 cm of multiple layers of foam padding, with a total thickness of almost 10 cm. Its layered construction absorbs the impact of hard punches and kicks, providing good protection for both the holder and the athlete delivering the strikes during intensive use.

Rival - Designed in Canada

In 2003, Russ Anber Rival Boxing Gear founded it - not as a businessman, but as someone who had spent decades in the gym and knew exactly what was lacking in the available equipment. He began innovating, patenting, and building, permanently changing the boxing world with patented designs in gloves, punching mitts, and handwraps.

“My gift was the ability to coach, break things down, analyze and make people understand how things work.” — Russ Anber
