3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for home use or for kids - dojo use can be punishing, October 17, 2010

This review is from: Shield - Tiger Claw Foam Kicking Shield (Misc.)

We use these pads on a daily basis at a Kung Fu club. When the pads are new, they do a good job at absorbing the impact, even from heavy adult kickers. However, these pads seemed to break down quickly, and when they do, they are absolutely punishing for the person holding the bag.

I believe the bags would be great for home use (even for adults) and for kids. However, if you are buying these pads for club/dojo/daily use, for adults, then be prepared to replace them relatively regularly.

My sons (5 & 8) and I are taking karate lessons, and after a few times trying to use sofa cushions as an improvised kick/punch target, we needed the real deal! This was a very good buy.

Warning: this pad does not magically overcome the laws of physics (especially Newton's!) so if an 80lb boy kicks the shield when a 40lb boy is holding it - better have a clear space behind!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pad, and durable, but a little too slim for most adults., January 13, 2011

I love the way this shield is built, and the fact that it has many handles on its back for a wide range of workouts. However, its width makes the handles narrow for most adult hands. Also, it is not ideal for actual kicks because of its width. It is very hard to make contact with your shin and not have your foot wrap around the pad and hit the person holding it. Overall though, its sturdy and I have no desire to return it whatsoever.
