Alongside Rival and Winning, we carry punching mitts from:

• King Pro Boxing Revo Hybrid - skintex, multi-layer foam padding, slightly curved design. Used by top trainers in Thailand, suitable for punches, kicks, and knees.

Handpads come in roughly three sizes, each with its own training purpose.

Micro punching mitts 

These have a small striking surface and are intended for experienced trainers working on precision and speed. The  Hayabusa PTS3 Micro and  Rival RPM3 Air 2.0 are the lightest models in our range—ideal for extended sessions that place minimal strain on the trainer.

Medium punching mitts 

This is the most common size and suitable for almost everyone, regardless of skill level, gender, or age. The  Rival RPM series (RPM7 through RPM100) and the  Winning CM models all fall into this category. Winning is, of course, extremely high-end and exclusive. The striking surface is large enough for comfortable pad work, yet compact enough for quick movements.

Hybrid punching mitts 

These are the largest size and can also catch kicks and knees—almost an all-in-one solution. The  Twins Special PML21 (35 x 22 x 7 cm),  King Pro Boxing Revo Hybrid and  Booster BPM1 are the hybrid models in our range. With these pads, you essentially no longer need separate Thai pads or kicking shields.

Punching mitts can be used in virtually all martial arts, as reflected in our range.

For boxing the Rival RPM series and Winning CM models are the first choice—lightweight, precise, and designed for fast punch combinations. The Cleto Reyes Coaching punching mitts are also popular in the boxing world thanks to their Mexican craftsmanship and excellent padding.

For kickboxing and Muay Thai the hybrid models are the most versatile. The Twins Special PML21 and King Pro Boxing Revo Hybrid not only catch punches, but also kicks and knees, allowing you to conduct a complete training session with just one pair of mitts.

For MMA and krav maga the Rival RPM10 Intelli-Shock and Booster BPM1 are strong choices thanks to their broad applicability and solid shock absorption.

For training with heavyweights and "heavy-hitters", the Rival RPM3 Air 2.0 are ideal—compact, lightweight, and designed for maximum impact cushioning.

Punching mitts are also popular with personal trainers for conditioning and strength training outside traditional martial arts. They are compact, easy to carry, and suitable for use anywhere.

When choosing punching mitts, trainers have three options regarding the hand compartment and type of closure.

Open or closed fingers - Punching mitts with open fingers, such as the  Twins Special PML21, provide better ventilation during long sessions. Closed models offer more protection for the trainer’s fingers. This is mainly a matter of personal preference.

Slip-in pocket or hook-and-loop closure - Some mitts simply slide on, while others have an adjustable  hook & loop hook-and-loop closure such as the  Rival RPM series. A closure provides greater stability and adapts to different hand sizes—a clear advantage during intensive use.

Wrist support and ergonomics - This is where the price difference is most noticeable. More expensive models such as the  Rival RPM100 Professional (pre-curved, specifically for the left and right hand),  Winning CM-65 and  Twins Special PML have a superior ergonomic fit that actively supports the wrist and prevents overuse. This is often completely absent in cheaper models.

Pad work is one of the most effective forms of training in martial arts. The benefits are extensive:

• Training reflexes - the trainer calls out changing locations and forces the fighter to react quickly
• Conditioning - an intensive pad session is an excellent cardio workout
• Improving technique - punches, kicks, and combinations are practiced on a moving target
• Improving defense - the trainer can also simulate attacks, teaching the fighter to evade and parry
• One-on-one focus - pad work gives the trainer direct feedback on the quality of each technique

With the right punching mitts - from an affordable Rival RPM7 to a professional Winning CM-65 - you get the most out of every training session. In short: every serious martial artist should have a pair of punching mitts.

Good punching mitts can last through many training sessions, provided you maintain them properly. Their lifespan varies by material.

Microfiber PU and Carbonium PU - as used in the  Rival RPM series - are relatively easy to maintain. Wipe them with a damp cloth after every training session and let them dry completely before storing them. They withstand more moisture than leather and are less prone to drying out.

Leather punching mitts - such as the  Twins Special PML and Cleto Reyes Coaching models - require a little more attention. Use a mild leather cleaner or conditioner to keep the material supple. Avoid harsh cleaning products that may dry out or discolor the leather.

The following applies to all models:

• Never store your punching mitts  in a closed gym bag - this causes odors and mold
• Always let them  dry completely before storing them, preferably in a well-ventilated place
• Regularly check the  hook-and-loop fasteners and stitching for wear - these are the parts that first show signs of use
• Do not store them  in direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and drying out
