Focus mitts
Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.
category
equipment
plain english
The padded targets a coach wears on their hands so you can punch a moving target.
example
“On the mitts” or “on the pads”.
why it matters
It is the closest thing to real timing without anyone getting hit, and it is where most one-to-one coaching happens.
common mistake
Hitting the mitts as hard as you can rather than as cleanly as you can.
