Trapezoid punch shield 65×42 for full contact

Trapezoid punch shield is a practical option for fighters who build their game around pressure, distance control, and shield strikes. The trapezoid geometry and forward balance make it easier to “drive” the shield into contact and short bumps without losing tempo when closing the distance. It works well for pro-fights, fast-paced duels, and training where repeatable technique and equipment durability matter.

Base dimensions: 65×42 cm. The core is made from two layers of durable plywood with a total thickness of 8 mm. The outside is wrapped in fabric to reduce slipping on weapon contact and to simplify upkeep after wear. The perimeter is finished with thick 4 mm leather: the edge resists fraying from impacts and rail contact, and typical maintenance comes down to replacing/tightening edging and refreshing the outer cover.

Fit and ergonomics are tuned for real fighting use: it is not sold as “fully custom to every arm”, but the geometry is developed with forearm anatomy and common kit (vambraces, gloves, padding) in mind to preserve mobility and control in clinch work.

Historical basis: the shape and concept follow historical prototypes and sources for late medieval fist/strike shields, while the build is tuned for modern impact loads and frequent use.

On tournament checks: this type of shield often fits requirements across multiple rulesets (e.g., IMCF, Buhurt International, HMB and local regulations), but final approval depends on the specific event rules and the gear’s condition at inspection.
