Endurance Engineering for the Modern Coach
Pad holding is an art form that requires just as much endurance as fighting. The Sting Armalite Focus Mitts are engineered to keep the coach in the game round after round, minimizing the shoulder fatigue and wrist strain often caused by heavy, unbalanced pads. Designed with a focus on "flow," these mitts allow for rapid transitions between combinations, making them the ideal tool for speed work and accuracy drills.
Constructed with Sting's proprietary SLV3 outer skin, the Armalite series offers the durability of leather without the excessive weight. The internal architecture features a Quad Core mould that distributes impact energy evenly across the surface, ensuring that even when your athlete is unloading power shots, your hands remain protected and your grip secure.
Why Choose the Sting Armalite Mitts?
-
SLV3 Outer Skin: built with a specialized synthetic compound that resists tearing and cracking, providing exceptional longevity for high-volume commercial gym use.
-
Pre-Curved Impact Surface: the anatomical curve naturally cups incoming punches, preventing strikes from sliding off and allowing for a satisfying "snap" on impact.
-
Quad Core Shock Absorption: layered internal padding density dampens the shock of heavy hits, protecting the pad holder's elbows and shoulders from cumulative stress.
-
HD Hand Cups: ergonomically designed internal cups lock the fingers in the correct position, reducing joint stress and preventing the mitts from slipping during sweaty sessions.

Sambo Store Pro-Tip
The secret to great pad work is "meeting the punch." Do not keep your arms stiff; instead, give a tiny push of resistance right as the glove connects with the Armalite mitt. This activates the Quad Core absorption, creating a louder "pop" (feedback for the fighter) and reducing the shock transfer to your own joints. Always air these out after training—the SLV3 skin is durable, but sweat inside the hand compartment needs to dry to prevent odors.
