Striking shields are heavy-duty training pads designed to absorb powerful kicks, punches, knees and elbow strikes during combat sports training. Whether used in boxing, MMA or Muay Thai sessions, they allow athletes to practise high-impact combinations against a moving target while helping protect coaches and training partners during drills.
At Musclemania Fitness Megastore in Sydney, we stock striking shields for gyms, martial arts instructors, personal trainers and combat athletes across Australia. This collection sits within our Striking Pads range alongside other coaching equipment including Focus Pads, Thai Pads and Combat Dummies.

How to Choose the Right Striking Shield
- Consider the type of strikes – kicks and knees may require larger shields
- Check padding density – thicker padding helps absorb heavier impact
- Look for strong handles – secure grips help coaches hold the shield safely
- Choose the right size – larger shields usually suit high-power drills better
