The armoured fist is the symbol of armoured cavalry. This derives from the fact that armoured cavalry are good for putting stress on a single point until the line breaks. This should not be confused with the American hand-signal for halt or the commonwealth hand-signal for strongarm.

An example an armoured fist is incorporated into the crest of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps.

The armoured fist's antiponent is the infantry's crossed swords.
