    Struggling with Impact Training? Here’s How RDX T1 Curved Kick Shield Can Help

    Do you use a kick shield when you train? If you do, is it making you stronger, faster, and more precise? If the answer is no, then you’re not equipped with the right training accessory. Training with a good shield and the right shield are two different concepts and can make all the difference in your training progress.

    To help you hone your striking skills, improve accuracy, and enhance performance without the fret of plateaus, RDX offers T1 Curved Kick Shield. It doesn’t just absorb the most ferocious hits, but protects your hand and allows for a smoother transition in techniques.

    Basically, it is the end of all your impact training struggles. Let’s take a deeper dive and find out how it revolutionises your training routine.

    Material & Design: What Makes the Curved Strike Shield Stand Out?

    The strike shield is immaculately crafted with a dynamic fusion of performance and style. Designed for the comfort and safety of both the fighter and the trainer, the shield stands out with four major features:

    Top-Tier Materials

    Top-Tier Materials

    Crafted with the most resilient and reliable Maya Hide leather, the kickboxing pads are built to take your powerful hits. The intensity of the impact training requires a product that can withstand its rigours and the premium upholstery here delivers the toughness and tenacity needed to ensure that.

    Resisting wear and tear, the unbreakable exterior maintains its integrity through repeated use, making it ideal for prolonged sessions.

    The shield is further fortified with reinforced cross-stitching on the edges and sides to promise unwavering sturdiness. This means you can unleash the most explosive hits at it without worrying about it breaking under the heat.

    Multiple Padding for Superior Cushioning

    To deliver exceptional shock absorption, our strike shield offers advanced multi-layered padding. The outermost layer is cushioned with Denzo-Tron Sheet, specifically designed for superior impact resistance and energy distribution.

    The second layer consists of Sponge X padding, which adds an extra shield of cushioning for the trainer’s hands to minimise the impact of the force. Additionally, the strike shield also features enhanced padding to supplement a comfortable grip. It is strategically placed around the handles to ensure an ergonomic hold, reducing the strain on the hands.

    Together, these layers work in unison to deliver unparalleled shock absorption and dispersion, making this shield perfect for the thunderous hits.

    Perfect for Heavy-Duty Use

    Perfect for Heavy-Duty Use

    The harmony of the indestructible leather and cushioning power vows for the shield to stand the test of time. The leather resists wear and tear, outlasting the standard leather and vinyl used in other kicking shields.

    The mindful combination of materials and design makes it perfect for intense training and sparring, ensuring long-lasting performance no matter how tough the conditions are.

    Curved Design

    If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to catch the blow effortlessly, our curved design will show you.

    Specifically engineered to contour to the natural shape of your hand, it enhances the ergonomics of the shield, providing comfort to the trainer and the fighter. The curvature not only offers better resistance and precise control during strikes but also ensures a secure grip for the trainer.

    By promoting safer and more effective training sessions, you will witness transformative differences in your performance in no time!

    Comfort and Usability: Ensuring Effective Training Sessions

    Ensuring Effective Training Sessions

    The RDX curved strike shield is crafted with usability in mind. The shield employs rear handles that are meticulously placed with ergonomics in focus. The handles’ padded design enhances comfort, mitigates the risk of hand fatigue, and certifies a firm grip during extended sessions.

    It is essential for the trainer to maintain proper control of the shield while training to ensure agility and mobility. The handles aim to serve that purpose immaculately.

    The weight of the product plays a critical role in the comfort which is why it is kept lightweight. Measuring 60 cm in length, 36 cm in width, and 13 cm in thickness, the kick shield boasts an expansive striking area of 2160cm², which is perfect to absorb the strikes without feeling bulky. The solid yet lightweight construction of the tool supports quick and efficient drills without the risks of pain and strain.

    Another critical factor in a product’s usability is its care and maintenance. Our strike shield takes those worries away by being super easy to clean.

    All you need to do is wipe down the surface with a damp cloth after each session to prevent the build-up of grime or sweat. Allow it to air dry before storing it to ensure the longevity of the product.

    However, make sure your procrastination doesn’t get the best of you after the session, cleaning it regularly. This will preserve the durability and the effectiveness of the martial arts kicking shield over time.

    Versatility in Training: Suitable for All Skill Levels and Disciplines

    Suitable for All Skill Levels and Disciplines

    When it comes to the versatility of the martial arts kick shield, it is a true powerhouse. The durability and design of the product make it suitable for a variety of disciplines ranging from MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, and even Taekwondo.

    Whether you are a beginner learning the basics or an advanced athlete perfecting your technique, the strike shield serves the needs of all skill levels. With the unbeatable protection that the shield offers, a novice wouldn’t have to fear injuries, meanwhile, a seasoned fighter can rely on its features to push their limits with full-force strikes.

    Plus, the shield’s diversity supports a variety of striking styles. From punches to kicks to elbows or knees, the curved design conforms to the natural motion of these strikes. The flexibility of the shield allows for the simulation of real-life combat bouts, helping athletes refine and master their techniques across a range of martial arts and fighting styles.

    And while you may be thinking that it is just about the offence, the sports shield performs impeccably for defensive drills too. Trainers can utilise the shield to practise blocking, dodging, and counterattacks, making it suitable for both offensive and defensive training.

    From partner drills to group training, and at-home MMA workouts to gym settings, the lightweight, portable construction of the strike shield allows for seamless transition between exercises. This amps up its effectiveness to adapt to various sessions and drills.

    Benefits of Using RDX T1 Curved Kick Shield

    Benefits of Using RDX T1 Curved Kick Shield

    While many prefer flat shields, they are unaware of the exceptional advantages of curved shields. Let’s compare the two and see why the curved kick shield is a superior choice amongst the two:

    Realistic Strike Feedback

    • The curved shield mimics the natural angle of the strikes, simulating a real combat scenario for the fighters. This helps them build accuracy in their strikes.
    • The flat shield offers a uniform feedback which doesn’t look realistic and can limit the development for the angled strikes. Your struggle to improvement can be due to the use of a flat shield.

    Adequate Impact Diffusion

    • The curved design disperses the impact of the shock and softens the blow for both the fighter and the trainer, minimising the risk of hand injuries.
    • The impact absorbed in a flat shield is more direct, leading to higher chances of strain on the shield and the user.

    Better Versatility

    • Since the curved design provides a wider surface for the strikes, athletes across multiple disciplines can use it to master their skills.
    • A flat shield is better suited for straightforward strikes which limits its adaptability for a combination of strikes, making it unsuitable for diverse fighting styles.

    Improved Grip and Control

    • The anatomical shape of the shield proffers a secure grip and precise control, reducing the fatigue for the trainer who has to hold it for prolonged, intense sessions.
    • A flat shield isn’t just harder to hold securely but also impacts the maneuverability of the trainer, resulting in quicker fatigue.

    In short, the curved shields evidently outperform the flat shields with benefits that result in better performance, honed skills, and enhanced precision.

    Making an Informed Decision

    Making an Informed Decision
