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 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.”

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

The Hayabusa Thai pads PTS3 are suitable for both recreational athletes and advanced users. The 5-layer foam construction provides optimal cushioning for both light and heavy techniques, while the double Velcro closure ensures a secure and adjustable fit for trainers of all levels.

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