Kicking shield recommendations

[M.C.]

With MA equipment in most cases "you buy cheap, you buy double". So if you know the pad and it gets recommended, go for it.

At my Muay Thai school, we use Ringside body kicking shields that look almost exactly like those. Then again, I think Combat Sports owns Ringside (or vice-versa, or they're both owned by a larger company), so it could be the exact same pad, just with a different logo. Anyway, the pads that we use have held up well.

The "Big Pad" on the CSI site are the ones we use at my school, I like them the best. We have a few different brands, random assortment of equipment brand wise, and I always make sure I get that kick shield.
The case is thick and won't rip, it is thick enough to shield you, and the straps are pretty much bolted on.

Ringside and CSI are the same I believe, when I got a wholesale account from CSI I automatically got one for Ringside without even asking.

Cool, I'm going to order one of those then. Thanks, guys!

just to give you an idea, didn't watch the video, so they might use bad form.

Quesiton:

why would you use a video you haven't watched to try and support your point?

[M.C.]

I watched if it is the kick but the video is a 10 min long instructional and I only want to give him an idea what the kick looks like not a quallity instructional.....
gheez what is it with people sometimes on BS?

So you are upset because I asked why you would post a video you didn't watch?

[Scott Larson]

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't watch it either. When you said "side kick", that was good enough for me.

We use the Century Slammer bags:

they've lasted over a year so far and no issues.

but those adidas look pretty nice.

We use the same type slammer bags and haven't had any issues either.
