Booster punching mitts - for professional-level technique training
Punching mitts are the most direct training tools for refining punching and kicking techniques—the trainer controls the angle, timing, and intensity while the athlete learns to strike with precision. Booster Fight Gear - founded in 1994 by Yves Vyvey after a tour of Thailand - developed the punching mitts line from that hands-on experience: gear that works on the mat, not just in the catalog.
The BPM1 and BPM2 Carbon Black are made of 100% leather with latex foam padding and mesh panels for ventilation—designed for professional use in boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Krav Maga. The BPM2 has a curved design for a more natural strike and better wrist protection for the trainer.
PML Extreme - the entry-level hand pad for recreationalists, beginners and children
Booster deliberately distinguishes between recreational and professional use. The PML Extreme is the hand pad for trainers who work with beginners, recreationalists, or children—lightweight, teardrop-shaped, and with an extra strap for a secure grip. Made of synthetic leather with latex foam padding.
The teardrop shape makes the PML Extreme versatile: suitable for punches, kicks, and combinations in boxing, kickboxing, Krav Maga, and taekwondo. An accessible choice for gyms that work with mixed groups—from young people to recreational adults.

What is the difference between punching mitts, focus pads, Thai pads, and kicking shields?
Punching mitts, also known as focus pads , are compact pads that are held by a trainer during a training session. The terms punching mitts and focus pads are used interchangeably. However, in our opinion, there are subtle differences between them, which is why our website distinguishes between them. Punching mitts are primarily intended for punches and punching techniques.
Thai pads, also known as kickpads or pao, are larger pads held by a trainer to practise both punches and kicks.
Punching shields are usually large, round cushions that the trainer or partner holds in front of the body. They are especially suitable for various punching techniques, including hooks, liver punches, and uppercuts.
Kicking shields are the really large cushions for punching and kicking. They are ideal for beginners and children who, frankly, cannot yet aim very well. They are also very suitable for advanced practitioners, as these pads allow them to practise their technique at full power .
Punching mitts are primarily used to practice fast punches, combinations, and defensive techniques.
They are designed to help the practitioner develop speed, precision, reflexes, fitness, and coordination. Punching mitts are also portable and easy to use, making them ideal for one-on-one training sessions.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of light or heavy punching mitts?
The weight of punching mitts is not necessarily a matter of build quality. Some very lightweight mitts (such as Rival Airpads, for example) are extremely durable.
Lightweight punching mitts are particularly comfortable for a trainer during extended use, but usually a little weight is desirable as well, and the heavier mitts are somewhat sturdier.
However, this is not necessarily the case and varies by brand and price range. We have weighed all the punching mitts in our range weighed and added this information to a size chart for the product in question!
Some punching mitts, particularly focus mitts or hook and jab pads, are smaller than regular punching mitts.
These pads are smaller because they are designed to improve a boxer’s speed, precision, and accuracy, rather than simply absorbing powerful punches.
The smaller size forces the boxer to focus on hitting a smaller target. This, in turn, helps refine their technique, precision, and reaction time.
Benefits of small punching mitts (micro pads):
Focus and accuracy: smaller punching mitts, such as micro focus mitts, require the boxer to be more accurate with their punches. This helps develop better accuracy and timing.
Speed training: the smaller surface of micro punching mitts allows for faster punch combinations, helping the boxer improve their overall speed and reaction time.
Less padding: compared with regular and larger punching mitts, micro focus mitts generally have less padding. This means that the trainer holding the pads has to expend less energy keeping them raised and can focus more on the actual training.
Specific exercises: smaller punching mitts are often used for specific exercises focused on speed and accuracy. Larger pads are better suited for developing power and absorbing heavy blows.
What are hybrid pads?
Hybrid pads are a combination of large Thai pads and small punching mitts.
Hybrid pads offer the convenience, speed, and versatility of both types of pads. This makes them suitable not only for punches and hand techniques, but also for kicks.
They are generally heavier than regular punching mitts, but considerably lighter than Thai pads.
This allows coaches and personal trainers to conduct extended training sessions covering all techniques.
