Description

A versatile training tool designed specifically for taekwondo kicking practice. The double paddle features two striking surfaces on a single handle, giving students twice the target area while keeping the holder’s hands safe and comfortable.

Why Double Paddles Work for Taekwondo

In taekwondo, kicks come from all angles and heights. The double paddle design gives you two distinct target zones – upper and lower – on one piece of equipment. Your training partner holds the paddle by the center handle while you practice high and low section kicks without them having to switch equipment.

This is particularly useful for combination drills. You can practice a low roundhouse to the lower pad followed immediately by a high roundhouse to the upper pad, all while your partner maintains the same grip and stance.

Built for Intensive Training

High-Density Filling:
The padding uses high-density foam that absorbs impact effectively. This protects the holder’s hand and wrist from shock transfer, even during powerful kicks. The density is firm enough to give you proper feedback on your kicks – you’ll feel whether you connected cleanly or glanced off the edge.

Reinforced PU Leather Construction:
The outer surface is high-quality PU (polyurethane) leather with reinforced stitching at stress points. PU leather resists tearing and scuffing better than fabric alternatives, and it’s easier to clean than genuine leather. The reinforced stitching at the handle and edges prevents the paddle from coming apart during heavy use.

Secure Handle Design:
The center handle positions the paddle away from the holder’s body, which is safer during powerful kicks. The handle is comfortable to grip for extended periods – important for instructors holding pads through multiple classes.

Target Surface and Striking Area

Each striking surface measures approximately 22cm x 22cm, providing a generous target for developing accuracy. The flat surface works perfectly for:

Front kicks – Practice snapping technique and ball-of-foot targeting
Roundhouse kicks – Develop hip rotation and instep contact
Side kicks – Work on blade-of-foot precision
Back kicks – Practice heel strikes with proper body rotation
Axe kicks – Develop downward driving motion
Combination sequences – Link multiple kicks smoothly

The flat surface is more forgiving than a curved target, making these paddles ideal for students who are still developing their accuracy. As technique improves, the same paddle works for more advanced precision drills.

Perfect for Class Settings

If you’re an instructor, these paddles excel in class environments:

Junior Students:
The double paddle is light enough (600g) for younger students to hold for their training partners. Unlike heavy kicking shields, juniors can safely practice partner work without struggling under the weight.

Partner Drills:
Students of similar skill levels can work together effectively. The holder can adjust the height and angle easily, and the two targets allow for immediate combination practice without equipment changes.

Rapid Class Transitions:
When running drills with the whole class, double paddles let you quickly demonstrate techniques at different heights. Hold one pad high for head-level kicks, drop to the lower pad for mid-section work – all in one fluid motion.

Durability in Real Training Conditions

These paddles handle the reality of taekwondo training:

Daily Use:
Built to withstand repeated impact from multiple students throughout the day. The reinforced construction means they maintain their shape and padding effectiveness even after hundreds of kicks.

Easy Maintenance:
The PU leather surface wipes clean with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant. This is essential for shared equipment in schools – you can quickly sanitize between students.

Portable:
At 600g and a manageable size (45cm x 23cm x 6cm), these paddles are easy to transport. Throw a pair in your gear bag for outdoor training or take them to tournaments for warm-up drills.

How to Use Effectively

The holder should grip the center handle firmly and position the paddle at the target height. Keep your arm slightly bent to absorb impact – don’t lock your elbow. The paddle’s design naturally positions it away from your body for safety.

For kickers, focus on clean contact with the pad surface. The flat target makes it obvious when you’ve struck cleanly versus when your technique was off. Use this immediate feedback to adjust your next kick.

Limitations and Alternatives

While versatile, double paddles aren’t ideal for maximum power development. For heavy kicking practice, consider larger curved strike pads or kicking shields. The double paddle excels at technique work, speed development, and accuracy training rather than pure power generation.

For hand work, you’ll want dedicated focus mitts instead.
