How does a ProForce® Thunder Deluxe Abdomen Shield work?
The shield wraps around the wearer's midsection and fastens at the back using an adjustable belt buckle. The pre-curved form follows the natural contour of the torso, positioning the padded leather shell over the abdomen and lower ribs.
When struck, the multi-layered foam padding compresses to absorb and distribute impact force across a wider area, reducing the energy transferred to the body. The leather outer shell provides durability and resists surface abrasion from repeated contact.
What benefits does a ProForce® Thunder Deluxe Abdomen Shield provide?
- Protects the abdomen and lower ribs from punches, kicks, and knee strikes during sparring or drill work.
- Pre-curved shape conforms to the body without restricting torso rotation or bending, allowing natural movement during training.
- Adjustable rear buckle keeps the shield in place during active use, preventing shifting or slipping.
- Leather construction withstands repeated impact and resists wear over extended training sessions.
- Compact 15-inch by 16.5-inch profile covers the target area without adding unnecessary bulk.
