Focus mitts are used to drill punch combinations with a partner. Thai pads, which are larger, also take kicks and knees. A gym uses them constantly, and an athlete buys a set as soon as they start training with a partner.

Frequently asked questions
Curved or flat focus mitts?
Curved models guide the punch toward the center and are less tiring on your partner's wrists. Flat mitts suit beginners and precision work.
Do you need Thai pads for MMA?
Yes, as soon as you work on kicks. Focus mitts alone are not enough to absorb a low kick or a body kick.
Leather or synthetic leather?
Leather lasts longer in a gym. Synthetic is enough for home use or a few sessions per week.
