Punching mitts, also known as focus pads called 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 view, 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 for practising both punches and kicks.

Punching shields are usually large, round cushions that the trainer or partner holds in front of the body. They are particularly suitable for various punching techniques, including hooks, liver shots and uppercuts.

Kicking shields are the really large cushions used for punches and kicks. They are ideal for beginners and children who, frankly, are not yet very accurate. They are also highly suitable for advanced practitioners, as these shields allow them to practise their technique with full force .

A major advantage of focus pads over regular punching mitts is that you can almost always hold them in two ways: with the palm facing up or the palm facing down.

This offers far more possibilities for comfortably calling out techniques correctly, without the risk of twisting or bruising your wrists.

For example, you can hold the focus pads out in front of you, against your body, or beside your head (for roundhouse kicks).

Focus pads usually have both a handle and a strap that your wrist/forearm goes through. 

With small (lightweight) focus pads, you can train hand-and-foot combinations incredibly quickly and easily. 

Especially in ITF Taekwon-do, the (usually round) focus pads are an indispensable training tool. 

They are ideally suited for technique exercises, conditioning drills, and precision training.
