ABS Training Shield

ABS Training Shield

Traditional Round Shield | 58cm | Substantial 1,500g

The ABS Training Shield completes the defensive side of weapons work — a traditional round shield for martial arts forms, historical weapons training, demonstrations and controlled defensive drills. Shield handling, positioning and defensive movement are half of sword-and-shield tradition, and this is the safe way to train it.

Moulded from tough ABS plastic, it stands up to regular dojo sessions and supervised practice. At 58cm across and a substantial 1,500g, it carries the realistic weight that builds genuine shield-arm strength and control — pair it with our khanda for classic Indian sword-and-shield forms, or any of our training blades for historical drills.

FAQs

What swords does it pair with?
Any of our trainers — the classic pairing is with the PP Khanda for Indian sword-and-shield forms, and it works equally for historical drills with our straight and curved blades.

Why 1,500g — isn't that heavy?
Deliberately. A shield that weighs nothing teaches nothing — the realistic weight builds the shield-arm endurance and control that defensive forms demand. Start with shorter sessions and build up.

Is it suitable for taking full-force strikes?
It's built for forms, positioning and controlled drills under qualified instruction — not for absorbing full-force weapon strikes or contact sparring. Use control and appropriate protective equipment.
