Learn the basics of holding Mitts (Muay Thai Pads) for kickboxing from FightCamp Trainer Aaron Swenson. He’ll teach you how to catch punches, elbows, kicks, knees, and teeps. Pad work is an excellent way to condition and helps simulate a fight without actually fighting. Finding the chemistry with your partner is just as important as learning how to hold mitts, so start slow and begin with a base combination and build up from there. The one catching uses just as much brain fitness as the one throwing so keep training HARD!

Aaron's Tips For Holding Thai Pads
Punches & Kicks: When you catch punches and kicks, you want to make it as realistic as you can by holding the mitts tight and close to your face or body, but with enough resistance so that you don’t punch yourself in the face or smother the punches and kicks.
The Jab: The whole time you are holding mitts, you want to see if your partner is doing anything wrong so you can capitalize on it.
Hook: For 3s & 4s, you need to hold the mitts at a 45-degree angle in the center and not at a 90-degree angle so you can simulate your face angle for your partner.
Uppercuts: You want to hold the mitts a little lower to catch an uppercut punch.
Kicks: When you hold pads for kicks, you want the pads to be flat with the top inner tips of the mitts touching to get a longer surface.
Elbows: Similar to punches, you want to give your partner enough resistance, but you will let them come to you so that they can find their elbow range. The angle of the mitt should shift based on if you want your partner to throw up, across, or down.
Knees: You can catch knees with a belly pad or mitts to make throwing knees to the body realistic. It’s important to remember to breathe when catching knees so that you don’t get the wind knocked out of you.
Teeps (Front Kicks): A body shield or belly pad should be worn for catching teeps. Let your partner come to you so they can find their kicking range and remember to breathe.
