What is a "focus mitt"?
A focus mitt is a padded training tool used in combat sports to help athletes practice punches, strikes, and defensive movements. It is worn on the hands of a coach or training partner, allowing them to move and adjust positions to simulate real fight scenarios. The padding absorbs impact, reducing strain on both the striker and the holder while improving accuracy, speed, and coordination. Focus mitts are commonly used in boxing, kickboxing, and martial arts training to develop timing, reflexes, and technique through controlled drills.
Examples
