Description

Focus Pad (Focus Mitts) holding in Martial Arts (for Women)  is a fundamental exercise that combines skill-building with an intense workout.

In this practice, participants take it in turns to  hold focus  pads, while the other strikes them, simulating real-world combat scenarios.

This training sharpens a martial artist's accuracy, speed, and power in striking techniques. It also develops the pad holder's ability to anticipate movements and provide responsive targets, enhancing their defensive skills.

This reciprocal exercise not only improves physical attributes like strength and coordination but also fosters a deeper understanding of timing and rhythm in martial arts, making it invaluable for practitioners at all levels.
