Thai pads, also known as kick pads or pao, are larger, elongated pads held by a trainer to practice punches, but mainly powerful kicks .

They are usually made of thick foam and have a sturdy handle on the back for the trainer to hold.

Thai pads are designed to help practitioners practice powerful kicks, such as cross-kicks, high kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes.

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 Thai pads Booster XTREME F3 measure 35 x 18 x 9 cm and weigh 2.0 kg per pair. They are available in one size with a hook & loop Velcro closure. The large size and slight curve provide a comfortable and stable fit during training.

The Booster XTREME F3 Thai pads are the mid-range choice within the Booster range — offering excellent value for money for beginners and intermediate fighters.
