Hayabusa PTS3 Thai pads

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/h in a dive). The company was founded in 2006 by Ken & Craig Clement, David Zikakis and Luke Harris and has literally taken flight ever since.

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

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

Thai pads, also known as kick pads or pao, are larger, elongated pads held by a trainer to practise punches and, primarily, powerful kicks .

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

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

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 .

The Hayabusa PTS3 Thai pads are made from a high-quality 5-layer foam composition using VYLAR®-2 material — non-absorbent, easy to wipe clean, and built to withstand intensive daily use. The pre-curved shape, reinforced backing, and wide straps with grip bar make them a complete training tool.

The Hayabusa PTS3 Thai pads are suitable for recreational athletes and advanced practitioners alike. The five-layer foam composition provides optimal shock absorption for both light and powerful techniques, while the double hook-and-loop closure ensures a secure, adjustable fit for trainers of every level.

The Hayabusa PTS3 Thai pads are suitable for kickboxing, thai boxing, MMA, krav maga, and personal training. Thanks to their pre-curved shape and wide straps with grip bars, you can train all techniques — kicks, crosses, hooks, knees, and combinations — both at the gym and at home.
