Frequently Asked Questions

Despite their dense shape, they are super lightweight to ensure they are easy to carry during training.
How to hold pads for Muay Thai kick?
The proper way to hold Muay Thai pads is make sure the bottom of your palms and the upper length of your arms are resting flat against the back of the pads. Make sure to maintain a strong grip on the hand strap so the pads and your wrists do not twist when struck by a kick.
Can you use boxing pads for Muay Thai?

How to pick Muay Thai kick pads?
When picking out the right Muay Thai kick pads, make sure to pick one that is size appropriate but also has enough padding to handle the strikes of the person you will be training with. The pads should be slightly larger and wider than your hands, with plenty of padding extended around your hands. You should be able to hold the pads by the back or straps without constantly having to readjust before your training partner even starts kicking. If your opponent is about the same size or shorter than you, then small or medium Muay Thai kick pads should be adequate. But if you are training with taller or stronger training partners, getting large or heavy Muay Thai kick pads will ensure enough padding to absorb the strength of the blows.
How do I get better at Muay Thai holding pads?
When holding Muay Thai kick pads, make sure to always be mindful of where your hands and arms are positioned. Make sure to stop and readjust the Muay Thai pads if they are starting to shift more towards one side. Make sure you are ready and brace yourself before clearly telling your training partner when to go ahead with a kick. Make sure your fingers are curled up into a fist and press the thumb against the back of the pads to help with support.
How to kick Thai pads correctly?
When practicing with Muay Thai kick pads, make sure to maintain appropriate leg distance so your feet can reach the kick pads but avoid hitting the person holding them. Keep your eyes focused on the pads when you are readying a kick. Using your back leg as support, turn and raise your other leg while pivoting on the back leg. Bend and extend your leg in a quick snapping motion and hit the Muay Thai bags with the flat of the top of your foot. Then retract your leg back to the ready position while maintaining your balance.
How should Muay Thai pads fit?
When putting on Muay Thai kick pads, make sure your hands and arms are centered. Keep your hands in a fist and make sure they do not go near the top of the pads. The surface of the back of the pads should cover your hands and most of your upper arms near or right next to the elbow.
