What strikes is the T1 Kick Shield designed to absorb?

The T1 Curved Kick Shield is designed to absorb straight kicks, round kicks, push kicks, knee strikes, and combination strikes during Muay Thai, kickboxing, MMA, and boxing training. The Shell Shock GEL™ and Supremo-Shock Foam™ layered padding system is engineered specifically for high-force impact — the gel layer absorbs and disperses peak impact force, while the foam layer cushions the residual energy before it reaches the trainer's hand and arm.

What is Maya Hide™ and why is it used for pad construction?

Maya Hide™ is RDX's proprietary synthetic leather material used across their striking pad and glove range. It is engineered to replicate the durability and impact resistance of genuine leather while offering more consistent material properties and easier maintenance. Maya Hide™ resists cracking, peeling, and surface delamination under repeated high-force contact — making it the preferred material for training equipment that takes thousands of strikes across its lifespan.

Is this sold as a single pad or a pair?

The T1 Curved Kick Shield is sold as a single unit. A kick shield is typically a one-handed pad, with the trainer holding it against their forearm or body to absorb kicks. For partner drills requiring both hands free or two-sided pad work, you would need to purchase two units. For most standard kicking drills — push kick, round kick, knee strike — a single pad is sufficient.

How do I care for Maya Hide™ training pads?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after each session and allow to air-dry fully. Do not submerge in water or machine wash. Apply a conditioner compatible with synthetic leather periodically to maintain surface suppleness. Store away from prolonged direct sunlight — UV exposure can degrade synthetic leather surfaces over time. Inspect the nylon handles and strap stitching periodically and replace the pad if any structural seams begin to separate.
