CalfStrike™
Calf Kick Pad – XL
Larger calf kick pad for Muay Thai, MMA & kickboxing
$129.00 In stock on Amazon
The CalfStrike™ Calf Kick Pad – XL is the larger version of our training pad, built for strikers who want more coverage and a more forgiving target during low-kick drills. It shares the same EVA foam core and PU leather construction as the Standard, but the wider striking surface gives extra room for heavier reps and helps newer pad holders catch kicks more confidently.
Choose the XL when you train with harder strikers, run larger classes, or simply want a bigger target area that requires less precise placement on every kick. It is sold individually and pairs with the Standard size for gyms that want both options on hand.

When to choose the XL
The XL is built for the same controlled low-kick and calf-kick drills as the Standard, but its wider striking surface gives you more room to land cleanly. That extra coverage is especially useful when you are training with harder strikers, coaching newer students, or running classes where the pad holder may not be able to angle the target perfectly on every rep.
Because the XL covers more of the lower leg, it can also help reduce the need for the holder to reposition the pad between kicks. The striker gets a more forgiving target, and the holder can focus on stance, feedback, and defensive movement rather than micro-adjusting the pad.
How it is built
Like the Standard, the XL uses a dense EVA foam core wrapped in a PU leather shell. The foam is chosen for its consistent rebound and firm feel, so the pad gives reliable feedback kick after kick. The synthetic leather exterior is designed to resist surface scuffing and can be wiped down quickly between rounds or after a session.
The back of the pad uses the same adjustable hook-and-loop strap system as the Standard. The straps are positioned to keep the XL seated on the lower leg through repeat impact, and the fit can be tightened or loosened depending on the holder's leg size and the intensity of the drill.
How to use it
Wrap the XL around your partner's lower leg with the curved striking surface facing outward, then secure the straps until the pad is snug but comfortable. The holder should keep a balanced, athletic stance and allow the pad to absorb impact through controlled movement rather than locking the leg straight.
The XL shines in power drills, conditioning rounds, and any session where the striker is working on landing low kicks with more force. Start technical, then build intensity gradually. As with all CalfStrike pads, the XL is for controlled training under supervision and is not designed for full-contact sparring or competition use.
Care and storage
Wipe the PU leather surface with a clean, damp cloth after each use and let the pad air dry before storing. Avoid machine washing or submerging the pad, since moisture can affect the foam and strap hardware. Store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to help preserve the surface and strap elasticity.
Check the straps and seams regularly. If the foam loses its rebound or the straps no longer hold securely, replace the pad to keep both striker and holder training safely.
