A sparring partner who may be a trainer or another boxer dons and grasps a novel boxer training aid in the form of a padded plate. The plate has a torso-conforming forwardly moderately-convex central portion, flanked at the sides and top with obliquely forwardly projecting wings which have a tendency to focus the boxer's blows on the central portion. A fairly narrow slot is provided between the two padded wings at the top, so that the sparring partner may observe the boxer's technique in close proximity to the body, without risk of receiving a blow to the head. By preference the padded plate is worn by use of a set of bandolier-like straps, and held by use of a pair of handles secured on the backs of the side wings.
