This shield can really take a licking. I practice muay thai and can slam around the heavier hanging bags. For a body shield to stand up to my blows is amazing. I truly recommend this shield. Now! If I can get my wife to hold my shield for me...  Permalink

Very good pad. Straps on back for gripping and holding. Stitching is very durable and we use it daily  Permalink

Excellent product for a great price. Our whole family is really enjoying this product. It is a great size, and we even packed it and took it to the beach with us! Great product.   Permalink

Really enjoying the use of this shield with my training partner! Lots of padding and well worth the money.  Permalink

bought this for my son, but we both ended up using it alot shows no sign of ware yet & we both use in class.  Permalink

Super tough pad... gets abused on the regular and it's still lookin sharp.  Permalink

Wonderful Crash Pad (Kicking Pad/Punching Shield). I Own several and find this Crash Pad/Shield to be built TOUGH, compared to other wimpy Punching/Kicking shields. I Highly Recommend this specific Product. I rate it aTEN and some. Every characteristic to this Awesome Training Shield. Several Grip Handles covered so that you dont receive friction burns. The Foam inside is Impact resistant. The shields longetivity holds up compared to the over priced, crappy built, wanna be shields sold elsewhere. Sturdy. Tough. The Material does not absorb sweat, easy to clean, availible in different colors, resilient to horrendus abuse, which includes non stop kicking & punching. No, I say this is the shield a serious instructor wants for his or her students. Takes a Beating & left unscathed!!!  Permalink

This really is the body shield to beat the band. Sturdy, rock-solid construction, heavy-duty foam fill, and solid straps so you can really beat the daylights out of this thing. It's a very pronounced curve on the shield, too, so you can also practice elbow and knee strikes on it. I'm looking forward to getting years of service out of it, and am almost curious about the abuse that could kill it.  Permalink

This was a great buy. My son uses it all the time and has gotten alot better at sparring.  Permalink

I have used many kick shields for the last 8 years and this one is one of the best, especially for the price. My students light up when they saw that it was blue! They love it and so do I.   Permalink

I have owned many body shields before with varying degrees of quality. I have now owned this one for a week and am super satisfied. Used it everyday this week at 2 gyms (an MMA club and a Karate dojo) where everyone kicked the snot out of it. It was dense enough to slow the really hard kickers.

The guy who broke my last one (making me have to shell out more money and get some new gear) and has for the past 3 months bruised my ribs did nothing to me with the new shield. Well he did tire my arms out but no more of to much force through the pad and eventually bruising of my ribs. The straps on the back are heavy duty and the one on the top that looks cheap is very durable and comfortable. For the 60$ i paid worth it.   Permalink

This bag is definitely worth the price. The quality of the padding is very high and lasts over lots of beatings. The curvature, although a bit weird at first, actually gives you more options for workout routines. With just a little lean in or out by the bag holder you can do upper cuts, rising kicks, or low thrusting kicks.  Permalink

I've been using this pad pretty hard for about a month now it has not been damaged in the last.. it is well constructed and has thick sturdy straps so you can get a good grip on it.  Permalink

This shield is just amazing, it is perfectly curved!! I was holding it for a friend of mine who is quite big and I did not feel a thing! The handles were so comfortable to hold. I would recommend this shield to anyone!  Permalink
