How does a Giant Target Mitt / Large Body Shield work?
The holder wears the shield using a cross-forearm strap system that secures both forearms behind the pad. This dual-strap design distributes impact force across both arms rather than concentrating it on a single grip point, allowing the holder to brace against powerful strikes.
The rounded striking surface absorbs and disperses energy from kicks, punches, and knee strikes. The curvature encourages proper technique by presenting a target shaped like an opponent's midsection rather than a flat surface.
