Abstract: A martial arts training shield for wear by a shield Holder as a target for impact by a Fighter, includes hemispherical front striking member mounted on a rear interspacer, all adapted for wear on a shield Holder by suitable strap works. The front striking member is a pad of high density foam material. The interspacer is a body of lightweight foam material in a supporting framework to establish a distance between Fighter and Holder. Control handles on the interspacer permit Holder to control position and attitude of the shield. With the shield in place, Fighter can perform a multitude of techniques as the Holder is dodging and averting the Fighter.
