Elite Impact Absorption for Heavy Hitters and Trainers
Holding pads for a high-level striker takes a toll on the body. The Sting Taipan Thai Kick Pads are engineered to absorb the punishment so your forearms don't have to. Endorsed by former Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker, these pads are built to withstand the rigorous demands of professional MMA and Muay Thai training camps. They act as a shield between the trainer and the athlete, allowing for full-power roundhouse kicks and knees without the risk of injury to the holder.
Constructed from premium leather, the Taipan pads feature a sophisticated "Double Quad Core" system. This high-density layering disperses kinetic energy upon impact, preventing the "shock" from travelling through to your elbows and shoulders. With a cushioned rear forearm pad and a heavy-duty leather grip bar, you maintain absolute control and comfort, even during rapid-fire combinations or endurance burnout drills.

Sambo Store Pro-Tip
Thai pads are significantly heavier and denser than standard boxing focus mitts. When holding for a partner, remember to "meet" the kick slightly rather than holding the pads completely static. This slight forward resistance helps absorb the energy of the strike and prevents the pads from being knocked back into your own face or body. Always wipe the leather down after training to prevent salt from sweat corroding the stitching.
