Strike Shields
Strike shields go by a number of different names, such as boxing shields, punch shields, and kick shields. They are popular pieces of equipment for a range of combat sports, though boxing coaches and trainers find them particularly useful for working on power shots. The large targets and handles make them ideal for coaches interested in improving their boxers’ skills, as they can absorb punches with ease. With a variety of styles available to suit your needs, you’ll find what you are looking for here at Geezers Boxing.
Frequently Asked Questions
A strike shield gives coaches a sturdy target for a fighter to work on their power strikes. Unlike smaller mitts, the shield can withstand much more force and its handles on either side for the coach make it far more tolerable for strikes.
The coach should grip the pad handles on either side of it. To provide the most stability possible you should hold the pad with it braced firmly against your chest or your arm for support. The coach can work on different movements and combinations with a fighter by orienting the pad in different ways and at different angles.
<h2><strong>The best selection of punching shields</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Depending on the type of training you want to complete, you’ll find different options of strike shields to choose from. A large curved boxing shield provides your boxer with a larger target area to hit. This is perfect for amateur boxers looking to take their skills to the professional level, as they can focus on hitting the centre of the target, but any blows that go off course will still be cushioned.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Circular punch cushions can be more easily moved, although they are typically smaller in size. This requires greater accuracy for landing punches, making them a great way to improve your speed and agility in the ring. As they can be moved, you can practice both high and low punches.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some punch cushions are rounded and angled. This makes landing a direct hit more of a challenge, so if you need to work on your precision strikes, they are a great option to choose. These boxing shield pads can be held in a number of different ways, and the versatility means your boxers can practice combinations with ease.</span></p>
