Ringside USA Kick Shield

Army Issue Kick Shield

This is a Ringside USA kick shield issued to the US Army, a large padded pad that one partner holds while the other drives kicks, knees and punches into it at full power. A shield spreads the impact across the holder's forearms and body, so you can train hard strikes on a live, moving target instead of a fixed heavy bag. It suits martial arts gyms, combatives practice, home training and anyone collecting genuine US military gear.

Features

• Ringside USA Construction — The shield carries the Ringside USA patch, a long-standing American boxing and combat sports equipment maker.
• Wide Flat Striking Face — The smooth red front is a broad, uninterrupted target with rounded corners, large enough for round kicks, push kicks and knees.
• Twin Curved Forearm Grips — Two black padded grips run down the back in an hourglass layout, so the holder can slide their forearms through and brace the shield against the body.
• Top Carry Handle — A separate padded handle across the top gives a second grip point and makes the shield easy to carry or hang.
• Riveted Handle Anchors — Each handle end is fixed with stitched tabs and metal rivets, which hold the grips in place when the shield takes heavy strikes.
• Polyester And Polymer Build — The listed materials are polyester and polymer, a combination that resists scuffs and can be wiped clean after a session.
• Thick Full-Coverage Padding — The cushioned body absorbs strikes across its whole surface, protecting the holder during partner drills.
• Genuine US Army Issue — This is government-issued training equipment, not a commercial lookalike, which matters to collectors and military gear buyers.

How The Shield Works

The holder puts both forearms through the curved rear grips and presses the shield against the torso or thigh, with the top handle as an extra hand hold. The striker then works kicks, knees and punches against the flat red face while the holder moves, angles and absorbs the hits. Because the pad came from Army stock rather than a retail shelf, it gives you a real piece of US military training kit that still does exactly the job it was built for.
