Focus Pads are used by your partner or coach to guide you and teach your repertoire of punches and moves. They also offer this person the necessary protection. Good focus pads will fit well and feel like an extension of your arm and hand. A well crafted focus pad will have a small ball in the palm which feels snug and means the user doesn’t have to worry about the pad flying off when struck. Adjustable straps at the back of the pad help keep it also in place. The better the pad fits, the less energy the user will need to expend leaving them to concentrate on the series of punches they are leading for the opponent. Trust us – this is a good thing – you still need to be fit and focussed for this role in fitness boxing.
