Pads that absorb heavy impact
Pads are built to absorb high-impact strikes during training. Unlike mitts, they are designed specifically for kicks, knees, and powerful combinations. A proper pair should distribute shock evenly, protect the holder’s forearms, and maintain structure under repeated heavy contact.
