Lot of 3 PRO-FORCE Striking Pads

for Training in Martial Arts, MMA, Karate & Etc.

Up for sale is a lot of 3 Pro-Force Martial Arts Training Gear. This lot consists of 2 BLACK hand and foot targets and 1 BLACK Large Curved Body Shield. This is a New & Used lot. The hand and foot targets were never used but have been stored in a dresser drawer for about 10 years, and the Large Body Shield was only used for about half an hour, however, it looks more used as it was left stored in a storage shed and has a few scrapes, creases, and marks on it now but all the seams and handles as well as the foam inside are still in perfect shape. These training pads feature Impact Resistant Foam inside the vinyl covered outside with reinforced stitching along the seams and several reinforced nylon straps to hold the targets securely while training. The hand targets measure about 9" wide by 11" tall and is 3" thick. Each hand target features 3 nylon straps to hold the target securely. The Large Body Shield measures 14"-15" wide and 28:-30" tall depending on whether you measure the length with the curve and is 5" thick. The body shield features two handles and a strap for your arm to help hold the target securely and stable when training. I ordered these years ago through AWMA when I had a store and used to sell Martial Arts equipment. Usually I only stocked Martial Arts Weapons and only ordered training gear on a custom order for customers. This set however was purchased by me for the purpose of teaching a young friend some basic Martial Arts.

So here's the story:
I ordered all three pieces but the hand and foot targets were on back order at the time so I only received the body shield at first. The first time I got with my friend to teach him some things, we cleared out a space in my den for us to work out and at first I held the shield and he kicked at it several times for about half an hour and then he wanted to switch and wanted me to kick the shield. Needless to say, this is where things changed. Keep in mind that I was about 6' 1" and about 210lbs. back then and he was about 5' 5" and about 115lbs. He held the shield and wanted me to kick it, so I did. He then said to kick it again and then asked if that was as hard as I could kick and I told him no. Well, he wanted me to kick as hard as I could and I refused at first but he kept going on and on so I finally did what he asked. He held the shield tightly, and I stepped into him with a spinning back kick (my best and strongest kick), and he literally got kicked into the air and flew over my coffee table and landed on the couch against the wall of my den. After a few choice words and disbelief, he decided he had had enough for one day. A couple of weeks later I received the other two training pads and when I called him to come over for more lessons he declined and decided it just wasn't for him so the other two pads never got used and were simply stored in my dresser drawer for the past 10 years. We are still good friends but he gives more thought to what he asks of me now. So you see, the hand and foot targets are new and have only been stored, and the body shield was used briefly and then put away in storage. But as stated before, and as you can see in the pictures, the body shield has a few marks on it from leaning up against other things, some dents or creases in parts of the shield, and a stain or two and quite dirty/dusty on the nylon straps but I'm sure you could clean that up if you wanted, but the foam is in perfect shape and the outside is in still very good shape with no rips, tears, or seams coming undone. So the body shield is to be considered to be in good used condition. Well, if you are still reading, I hope you now know exactly what you are purchasing, and maybe got a little enjoyment out of the story above. This is a great set of training equipment for a fair price so don't miss your chance at this great deal. If you have any further questions or comments, feel free to contact me.
