Training in martial arts needs essential training gear: Focus paddles, focus mitts, and focus pads. These training gear, sometimes also known as punching pads or kicking shields, are designed to improve your strikes like punches and kicks. They are held by your training partner, while you deliver your powerful strikes. These training gear absorb most the shock from your strikes, while your partner feels only a negligible shock.
Based on the small amount of shock felt by your partner, he or she can give you the feedback on whether you should improve your speed, power, balance, timing, accuracy, technique, or other aspects of your strikes. Accordingly, you adjust your strikes and go all out at hitting the training gear. Pacific Sports offers high-quality focus paddles, focus mitts, and focus pads, so that you can undertake explosive and intense training sessions, without you or your training partner getting hurt at all.

Holding the training gear
Injury is prevented by correctly holding the training gear, which means having a good grip, keeping the wrist straight, taking the required posture or stance, and leading your partner to perform the strikes.
A focus paddle, either a single focus paddle or a double focus paddle, has a handle that has to be gripped firmly. It is important to keep your arm extended so that you can hold the paddle away from your body. You may hold two focus paddles, one in each hand, if your partner wants to practice multiple kicks. Additionally, you may hold them at different heights so that your partner can practice low, mid, or high kicks, as required.
A focus mitt can be circular or square in shape and it has secure straps or a glove like holding system at the back, so that it can be held securely. It is most often used for punches. Just like focus paddles they can be held at different heights, so that your partner can practice all types of punches.
A focus pad, also known as a kicking shield, can also be used for knee and elbow strikes, as well as punches. Hence, they are also known as multipurpose pads. They are held close to the body, so that almost zero amount of shock is felt. Focus pads have a handle and straps to enable a secure grip. Mobility is easy with focus mitts, focus paddles and focus pads.

Maintaining the training gear
After every training session, the focus paddles, focus mitts, and focus pads, should be wiped clean and kept away for future use. Pacific Sports training gear is very easy to maintain. Simply wipe it with a piece of cloth that is damp with water. Then wipe it again with a dry cloth. Care should be taken to wipe every area like the surface, back, sides, handles, straps, and loops. No area should be left as the combination of sweat, dust and dirt may become a breeding ground for germs, and therefore, no area should be left so that all possible chances of any infection are wiped away clean. Odors and smells can go away if the training gear are left to dry in the air.
