It gives a flat, predictable target. Choose the curved shield for round kicks and body kicks that land at an angle, where the contoured face spreads the impact better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs 9kg heavy for a kick shield?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is deliberate. That mass is what lets the shield absorb genuine striking power without being driven backwards, which means the fighter can commit fully to each strike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan one person hold it for a full round?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The dense foam core takes the impact rather than passing it through, and the side carry handle helps with positioning between combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd the straight kick shield to your order.
