Question for Viewers: What kind of mitts do you have? You can get these mitts I recommended here: revgear.com/mx-2-curved-focus-mitts/?aff=8

I do have kickboxing pads and live with relatives but can't ask them to hold them since they are over 60

@unit66combatsportsmma89 4 жыл бұрын

I used to use focus pads for a few years, but now I use coach spar mitts (ring side and twins pro) as I believe pad holding should benefit both the holder and hitter. I also use Sandee curved Thai pass and the fairtex donut pad. I use 2 different combo number systems for boxing, kick boxing and MMA. The coach spar mitts simulate a more realistic fight situation and also help improve my counters, parries and hand blocks, and also keeping my guard up

Sanabul, full sized. I hold them for the kid once in a while, I've never hit them myself. I'd like the micro pads if I was hitting them, I'm all about accuracy, I don't need to worry about power when I am hitting mitts. Uh, if I ever were to be able to hit them.

@excollector9963 4 жыл бұрын

I have a basic disc style set of hand mitts and a pair of the long rectangles. I like the more catcher's mitt style you were showing but now isn't the time to replace stuff that is working well enough.

There's a time and place for both. I think if you're a novice pad holder than patterns are going to be more valuable... but play with the idea. Think of games like Simon and Bop It.

My missus and i do pad work occasionally and she loves it, i get her to visualise someone who has pissed her off and she nearly takes my arms off, i can tell she's not as keen to hold the pads but i don't get why she won't do it more often! I think it's a great form of core work, cardio and self defence.

It's definitely good that you recognize it as a separate skill. Make your practice at it intentional, not just mindlessly repping things out.

@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 4 жыл бұрын

@@IcyMikeP last yr I got my first taste of pad holding without another coach overseeing or assisting. And the person had no martial arts background except for a cardio kickboxing studio like a month prior. And i realized the separate skill required for both trying to teach as well as using pads to teach. (The person i was working with was my friend's gf). And my capoeira instructor has allowed me the opportunities to work with new people on the side sometimes so I still get some instructional experience.

Hello, thank you so much for making this video. I am watching because my boyfriend is a Muay Thai fighter and all gyms are closed due to Covid. And, he's been using me to hold pads for him. I am a skinny girl 46 kg and he's muscly 60ish kg(like a fighter). Every time he asked me to do it it's been a pain in the a*s for me... though I really want to help him train and do this for him but I can't be happy and having fun doing it... Trying to figure out how to hold pads correctly but it seems I am horrible at it (as he complains every time since I started doing this) I tried to do good but I don't know if it's my weight that has to do with this that I can't keep holding my pads stably when receiving his punches... I need some suggestions I guess...
