Monadnock Universal Foam Training Bag UTB Strike Shield 1000318

Overview of the Monadnock Universal Training Bag | 1000318

A Strike Target That Moves Like a Real Person

The Monadnock Universal Training Bag (UTB), MPN 1000318, model 5002, is a hand-held foam strike shield built for defensive tactics and baton physical-encounter training. A partner holds it by the rear handles, so you can hit a target that steps in, turns, and pushes back.

Static drills on a hanging bag only go so far. Monadnock states the UTB helps bridge the gap between static and dynamic movement, and you can use it for punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and baton strikes in action-reaction drills.

Why Trainers Pick the UTB

• Large strike face: 29.3 x 20.7 inches of padded target area.
• Partner control: handles on the back let the holder brace and move.
• Portable: 6.85 pounds, easy to carry to the mat or range.

Defensive tactics instructors, police academy staff, and martial arts coaches rely on it for repeatable, full-power reps without wearing out a partner.

Key Features

• Built for baton work: Monadnock designed the UTB for baton physical-encounter training with straight and side-handle training batons.
• Full-body striking: take punches, kicks, elbows, and knees in simulated training scenarios.
• Rear handles and straps: a padded handle and webbing straps let the holder grip, brace, and move the bag during drills.
• Foam padded core: absorbs repeated strikes so the holder can stay in the drill.
• High-visibility color: blue padded ends frame a black center strike zone.
• Easy to carry and store: 6.85 pounds with a flat 6.4 inch profile.
• Care: wipe the cover clean after each session and let it air dry before storage.
