Hayabusa does not use recycled foam: only high-quality, pure foam layers that retain their structure even after thousands of powerful impacts. The outer shell is tear-resistant and withstands sweat, abrasion, and intensive use in a busy gym environment. The result is a kick shield that retains its shape, density, and cushioning performance for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHandles and Comfort\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three reinforced handles provide the wearer with multiple positions to hold the kick shield.

For example, you can hold it low for low kicks, higher for middle kicks, or vertically for teeps and knee strikes. The sturdy grips distribute the impact across the wearer’s arms and upper body, ensuring the shield remains stable and secure even during heavy kicks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions and Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\napproximately 53 cm (21 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\napproximately 44.5 cm (17.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\napproximately 12.5 cm (5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\napproximately 3.4 kg (7.5 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe generous size provides a large striking surface without making the shield unwieldy for the wearer, ideal for both powerful roundhouse kicks and precise knee strikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PTS3 Kick Shield is designed for \u003cstrong\u003etrainers, coaches, sparring partners, and gyms\u003c\/strong\u003e that want to train striking at a serious level. \u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced martial artists\u003c\/strong\u003e who want to work with a training partner on strength development and kicking intensity will also benefit from the durable construction and professional finish.
