Shop MMA striking pads and kick shields at Martial Imports — Thai pads, kick shields, angle pads, and body shields for kick and knee work from Hayabusa and RDX.

Striking pads differ from focus mitts in surface area and primary application. Thai pads are forearm-length curved pads designed to catch kicks, knees, and elbows as well as punches — essential for Muay Thai and kickboxing pad work. Kick shields are larger flat pads that absorb full-power kicks and are typically held against the body for power kick development. Angle pads bridge both applications, absorbing body shots and kicks in a format the holder can position dynamically.

Hayabusa striking pads include the T3 Thai Pads — wide, curved, layered foam construction built for sustained use with hard kickers. RDX striking pads cover the full range: Thai pads, kick shields, and angle pads in multiple grades, with Sorbothane foam in higher-end models for superior impact absorption. For Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA training involving Muay Thai rounds, striking pads are non-optional equipment. Free shipping on all orders.
