FAIRTEX CURVED MMA MUAY THAI PADS REVIEW

[@izzyr__]

What is your experience with the fairtex kickpads? Do you prefer other brands?

[@schooledover12]

Hi Izzy. Really helpful video, many thanks indeed. Can I ask what your opinion is on the Standard size vs Extra Long? Have you ever used the Extra Long? I am sure they are less 'friendly' when it comes to training fast kick AND hand combos - clunkier and heavier - but if you were looking to focus a bit more on kicking, would you recommend them over the Standard? Or, in your opinion, does Standard simply suffice for everything? Sorry man, just curious...

[@izzyr__]

I think standard is fine! If you want to feel better about a selection, take a look on Instagram to see what Thai teachers are using. It’ll always be standard.

[@NessxStyle]

Whoo hoo, a new video! 😁😁

[@izzyr__]

It's about time. I've been slacking :^)

[@SolidusLightning777]

2:57 My dude is really gonna say he doesn't know if it's real leather while shoving the "Made in Thailand - GENUINE LEATHER" stamp in the camera lens. The leather of the striking surface isn't as soft as the leather on the holder's side because you want your striking surface to be hard, and your handling surface to be comfortable. It's all real leather, just different spots are tanned differently. 3:06 This is actually Fairtex's way of showing which part of the pad is soft enough for the holder to throw at the hitter to test the hitter's defense without causing injury. Fairtex's punch mitts and a few of their other Thai pads have the same pattern for the same reason. But yeah, I'll give it to you, it does look tacky.

[@izzyr__]

Hah turns out that I rarely look at the pad. I think what I should have said was that I wasn’t sure what type of leather it is. And I didn’t know that’s how FT marks their equips. Still tho!

[@GilWandered]

LOL here i am searching up fairtex thai pads and I stumbled on your video Izzy! I didn't even realize it was you after I clicked and was like WHAT THE HELL. Great review man, we should get to training, I just started again a month ago and been acquiring my own gear over the months. Hit me up man and keep it up!

[@izzyr__]

Aye I’m down to train man. Just started up again myself.

[@GilWandered]

@@izzyr__ You’re up near Bmore yeah?

[@fellini7026]

I bought these and they feel hard when kicking. Does the padding get softer after breaking them in?

[@izzyr__]

They should absolutely get softer.

[@valisports]

Great review!

[@izzyr__]

Thank you!

[@mangmiketeamtaiaha7256]

Im after some thai pads.... But unsure on whats best for me. I want to do some training with my family. Thai pads, Size? i dont see that anywhere Belly pad, Size of waist? I dont see that advertised anywhere Im like 44ich waist... Which is big.....And unbelievably i actually train alot, just very natural large build, i tried some thai pads in past and my forarms didnt fot the hoop strap's

[@izzyr__]

Yah it suck’s that this equipment is designed for 135lb Thai dudes! For you to train your family, using boxing focus mitts or just holding up your gloves will be enough. Also need shin guards to train like this. You can’t too powerful! Belly pad I would say is not necessary unless you’re practicing knees and teeps at full power.

[@izzyr__]

Let me know what you end up doing tho. It’s a pain to not have the right equipment for you 😩

[@izzyr__]

At the same time, a belly pad may still work for you. I’m a 38 inch waste now (got fat 🙃) but my belly is certainly bigger.

[@el_chato_718]

What size are those ? Standard, extra thick ?

[@izzyr__]

Yo! I believe these are the standard size and my gym uses only this size.

[@jdvvideos1244]

Is that the standard size or extra thick?

[@izzyr__]

Standard size

[@ChaosPotatos]

Can you do a vid on how to kick higher? I am trying to stretch and stuff but I cant kick above like waist level

[@izzyr__]

Yup I can do that! I started at waist level and ended up being able to reach the head. In the mean time I think you have the right idea with stretching. I like to stretch first thing in the morning, before my training session, and then directly after.

[@jonathanmorgan1331]

If you don’t you should start putting leather hydration stuff on it

[@izzyr__]

That’s a good tip! 4 years and counting and it’s holding up pretty good. Really it’s the Velcro that is struggling to stay.

[@jonathanmorgan1331]

@@izzyr__ nice I’m thinking about getting these where did you buy yours at?

[@izzyr__]

I got these straight from Amazon. Fairtex should have their own suppliers on there!

[@dennisopolentisima1145]

What size is this?

[@dennisopolentisima1145]

Never mind. Just saw a previous comment.

[@izzyr__]

Seem pretty standard size to me haha

[@outdooroperator714]

Yokkoa takes forever to ship from Thailand to California

[@izzyr__]

When’s the last time you ordered?

[@outdooroperator714]

@@izzyr__ some time last year

[@outdooroperator714]

@@izzyr__ I had waited for a month or so then canceled the order

[@izzyr__]

I thought they had their distribution center set up for that already. Crazy it takes so long.

[@izzyr__]

@@outdooroperator714 sorry that happened to you!

[@enriquev9508]

This guy is a joke doesn't even know what he's talking about, they are real leather why are you even giving a review if you don't even know that

[@izzyr__]

Thanks for the support 🙃
