TITLE MMA Kick Shield: Curved

A flat bag pressed into service as a kick shield concentrates the impact in one spot. This wedge spreads it. The shield tapers from a thick, contoured striking face down to a narrower base, so it absorbs kicks at the angle they land and spreads the force across the pad, the detail that separates a genuine kick shield from a substitute.

Specifications

• Curved wedge profile: Tapers from a thick contoured face to a narrow base, absorbing kicks at their landing angle.
• Made in South Africa: Heavy-duty vinyl over a dense foam core.
• Two forearm sleeves and a top carry handle: Let a holder keep it square through a full round without it twisting out of position.
• Reinforced top-corner stitching: Where the load concentrates on impact.
• Metal side grommet: For hanging storage between sessions.

Who it's for

Coaches and training partners holding pads through Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA sessions. Round after round on this shield, you build kicking power, timing and the ability to check and absorb strikes. A bag hanging in one place teaches none of it.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy a curved or a straight kick shield?

Choose the curved shield for kicks that land at an angle, including round kicks and body kicks, because the contoured face spreads the impact. Choose the straight shield for square, direct strikes such as front kicks, knees and punches thrown dead-on.

What is a kick shield used for?

A kick shield is held against the holder's body to absorb heavy individual kicks and knees, which is work Thai pads are too small for. It lets a fighter throw at full power against a moving target rather than a fixed bag.

How is it held?

Two forearm sleeves on the back plus a top carry handle. That combination is what keeps the shield square to the strike instead of rotating out of position mid-round.

Order the curved kick shield. Usually ships with a one-week lead time.

All Heavy Bags & Speciality Bags

• Wipe the shell down with a damp cloth and mild soap after heavy sessions, then let it air dry. Sweat sits on PVC without soaking in, so a wipe does the whole job
• No solvents, no bleach, no alcohol-based cleaners. They strip the finish off a PVC shell and take the printed logo with it
• Keep the bag out of direct sun. UV hardens a PVC shell and splits the seams, and a bag hung outside or in front of a window ages years faster than one indoors
• Check the webbing straps, box stitching and D-rings every few months, and again after anyone heavy has been working the bag. Straps fail before anything else on a hung bag, and they give you warning first
• Do not open or repack the bag. TITLE bags ship filled with textile shred, packed to the stated weight. Textile holds its shape under repeated impact, and nothing inside needs your attention
• Do not leave a bag lying on a concrete floor for months. The filling settles into the shape you leave it in
• Wear wraps and gloves. A bare-knuckle habit marks the shell and shortens its life as much as it shortens yours

Double-End Bags & Speed Bags

• Wipe the shell with a damp cloth after each session
• Air dry away from heat and direct sun
• Leather only: condition every few months so it does not dry out and crack
• Powerhide and synthetic: clean with mild soap and dry in shade. Direct sunlight degrades synthetic material
• Never submerge and never machine wash
• Deflate the bag or drop it to low pressure if it is going away for a season, so the seams are not held under load for months
