Booster BPM2 Carbon Black Punching mitts

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 kicking.

They are generally heavier than regular punching mitts, but significantly lighter than Thai Pads. 

This allows coaches and personal trainers to conduct long training sessions that cover all techniques.

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 view, there are subtle differences between them, which is why we have made a distinction on our website. Punching mitts are mainly intended for punches and punching techniques.

Thai pads, also known as kickpads or pao, are larger pads that are held by a trainer to practice both punches and kicks.

Punching shields are usually round, large pads that the trainer or partner holds in front of the body. These are especially suitable for all kinds of punching techniques, including hooks, liver shots, and uppercuts.

Kicking shields are the really large pads for punching and kicking. They are ideal for beginners and children who, to put it bluntly, are not yet very accurate. They are also very suitable for advanced users, as these pads allow them to practice their technique with full power .

Punching mitts are mainly used for practicing fast punches, combinations, and defensive techniques.

They are designed to help the practitioner develop speed, precision, reflexes, conditioning, and coordination. Punching mitts are also portable and easy to use, making them ideal for one-on-one training sessions.

Using punching mitts:

• Improve precision and technique
• Improve speed and reflexes
• Improve strength and endurance
• Improve guard and defense
• Simulate realistic combat scenarios in a safe way
• Fewer injuries
