The Best Kick Shields in The World
Kick shields, kick pads, shields, kick thingies, bump pads, strike shields – known by many names….invented by Bruce Lee in the 1960s – used primarily for front kicks, round house kicks, thigh kicks, shin kicks, upper cuts, combinations and even football/rugby tackles.
The strike shield , is an indispensable piece of Martial Training equipment. Irrespective if you do traditional Japanese striking Arts – Chinese Arts – Fitness – Krav Maga or even MMA. With so many uses and functionalities – a pad that allows you to express with intent, many of the basic power strikes of the Martial experience.
A strike shield, by use and nature; is also a critical device,….if you are going to kick someone hard, really hard, you need that device to protect the ‘ kickee’ , the pad holder, and also protect the kicker. This affords the partners, in training, to progressively increase the intensities of their strikes or punches.

You can tell if someone is using an inferior product by; the winces on their faces when kicked, or punched. When they are shy of taking impact and therefore flinch in anticipation. When their body posture is bent and supplicant with fear. When the kick goes through , and the person is on the floor in pain…limping back to ready position. These are some cues that the product in use is inferior….it’s comical to watch.
A Reflex or Tatsuko user, holds the product to themselves. Binding themselves to the product with confidence. Standing upright and proud . Ready to withstand the shock of impact – confident in the product’s ability to protect them.
