Which striking shield to choose depending on your discipline

Before buying, a question often arises: which striking shield should I choose for which use? Our range precisely addresses this diversity. The straight shields, available in several sizes (S, M, L, XL, XXL), allow for varied foot/punch training, with a reinforced structure in high-quality Poly Plax PU. Thanks to their decompression eyelets, the impact is absorbed while preserving the seams (a guarantee of durability), even during intensive training.

For more explosive or penetrating strikes, our CLUB LINE curved shield adds a layer of frontal foam that improves the feel on contact and provides greater protection for the wearer. This model is particularly recommended for kickboxing sessions, bare-knuckle fights or MMA.

The 40 cm diameter ROUND PUNCH is perfect for working on the precision of punches. Equipped with two sturdy handles, it allows for stable two-handed gripping and facilitates coach mobility. Its polyethylene padding absorbs impact without excessive rigidity, for fluid and repetitive use.

Which striking shields provide complete protection for the coach?

Beyond classic shields, we offer equipment designed to fully protect the coach's body. The full-body sparring vest, made of PU with poly-oil and EVA foam, combines lightness and resistance. It covers the entire torso and is fully adjustable, allowing for a precise fit for each body type. This type of vest is ideal for individual lessons or fight preparation, where strikes must be delivered at full power without risk to the wearer.

In the same spirit, our Black Light abdominal belt enhances torso protection. Carefully molded and secured with an elastic Velcro system, it does not hinder movement or breathing. Its injected EVA foam protects vital areas while maintaining optimal comfort. It's essential equipment for all boxing sessions involving body blows.

Which striking shields should I use for sparring and cardio?

For clubs or facilities looking for equipment for full-contact sparring, our striking and sparring target is a strategic choice. Measuring 120 x 100 cm, it covers the coach from head to knees while allowing good visibility. This model is designed for multiple strikes: feet, fists, elbows, knees, as well as training weapons such as batons or tonfas.

Conversely, for children or the first few years of practice, we recommend compact models such as the S-size shield (45x20 cm). Lighter, they allow for a gradual introduction to impact, without sacrificing the feeling of the blow delivered. Each unit is designed for use adapted to the desired intensity of striking.

Materials and absorption: what makes a quality striking shield.

The choice of materials in the manufacture of our shields makes all the difference. All models use PU or reinforced PU coatings, selected for their wear resistance, flexibility, and ease of maintenance. The padding varies depending on the use: poly-oil foam for heavy impacts, EVA for elastic rebound, or polyethylene for firmer contact.

Most of our models feature ergonomic handles, often double, allowing for precise positioning and a firm grip during impact. The choice of dimensions (from 45 cm to 120 cm) allows each shield to be adapted to the training objective: speed, power, precision, volume. These technical details directly influence the effectiveness of the training.

How to compare two punching shields before buying

Thedepending on the relevancea shield is not just a matter of price or material. The level ofshock absorption, the type of foam, the positioning of the handles, but also the useful striking surface are all determining criteria. A striking shield inSynthetic leather, for example, will often be simpler to maintain but will not offer the same impact return as aPU striking shieldwith injected foam.

Furthermore, it is important to ensure that the shape is adapted to the type of work desired. A curved shield will better channel the energy of a punch or circular kick, while a straight shield allows for more stable positioning in a straight line. The double handle is another key point: it guarantees a better adjustment of the trajectory, but above all a safer grip over time.

How a striking shield improves combat training

A good shield, used correctly, transforms a session. It allows the coach to guide the intention, target errors, and highlight the fighter's efforts. It becomes an extension of the trainer's arm, allowing a direct link between technical repetition and tactical progression.

The weight, shape, and support all influence how the coach positions themselves, guides, and reacts. A shield that is too light can move upon impact. An unbalanced shield can create bad striking sensations. That's why each model...Metal Boxingis tested in the field, by experienced trainers and partner clubs.
