Punching mitts Hayabusa PTS3

Hayabusa (pronounced Ha-Ja-Boe-Sa) is the Japanese word for peregrine falcon, the fastest animal on earth (a bird of prey recorded at over 500 km per hour in a dive). The company was founded in 2006 by Ken & Craig Clement, David Zikakis, and Luke Harris and has since literally taken off tremendously.

Hayabusa has its headquarters in Ontario (Canada) and the global distribution center in the heart of Las Vegas (United States). Not coincidentally, this is also where the biggest boxing matches and UFC events take place. Hayabusa also has two exclusive contracts with independent sports centers in Canada, where all Hayabusa products are thoroughly tested.

Hayabusa aims to offer the best materials in terms of comfort, fit, anatomy, and even more importantly: performance and safety! A martial artist is constantly improving and developing themselves. This is a Japanese philosophy also applied in business management and at Hayabusa: Kaizen. It is the concept of “continuous improvement.”

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

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 .

The weight of punching mitts is not necessarily a matter of build quality. There are some very light pads (such as the Rival Airpads) that are extremely durable.

Light punching mitts are especially comfortable for trainers during prolonged use, but usually a bit of weight is also desirable and the heavier pads tend to be a bit sturdier.

However, this is not always the case and it varies by brand and price range. We have weighed all the punching mitts in our assortment and added this information in a size chart with the relevant product! bij het betreffende product!
