Piranha Gear Full Size Kicking Shield - Firm

A full size kicking pad with dense foam for people that want firm padding. These are NOT intended for use with small children or new students. We make these specifically for people that are doing hard punches and kicks. We do carry a separate "medium" firm pad, but if you're looking for the softer pads (specifically the ones that have an air bladder or softer foam) then this is NOT the right one.

Roughly 22" long, 16" wide, and 5" thick with four handles on the back to allow complete freedom of choice over how you're going to hold the pad for your partner during the workout. The front of the pad is slightly concave to keep your blows from sliding off the face. The handles are made of heavy braided nylon with an insert to allow for more comfort. Made of heavy duty artificial leather, with an extra layer across the center to keep it going for a long time.

We also have these made with a heavy, thick zipper with TWO zipper head/tags, not just one. The zipper tags have a little pocket to keep them out of your way during workouts. We put the zipper on the TOP of the bag (though with 4 handles it doesn't really matter - that's just based on the direction of the printing) because the bottom of the bag always seems to go out first and we could never figure out why other manufacturers put the zipper in the wrong place...?

Most manufacturers say their pads are SO THICK AND HEAVY - but that's usually not... um... entirely accurate. This one is for seriously heavy duty kicking and punching workouts.

We do NOT recommend these for children as they generally are not kicking hard enough to need this sort of padding. You're going to feel the kick more since it doesn't just bounce off the pad like an air bladder... We usually compare them as the difference between kicking an air mattress or a (soft) phone book. The other type for light kicks and this one to prevent serious damage.
