    Good sale on Thai Mitts

    Check these out:

    I think they would be great for doing kicks such as hook, crescents, ax, and snapping kicks (roundhouse, front, side). I have a set of regular Thai mitts for power roundhouse, teeps, and front thrusts, but these would make a great additional training tool? Anyone ever use these?

    i've wanted to try them out for a while
    from looking at them, i think a better idea would be to wear one of those and 1 regular thai pad to facilitate certain punches and defense drills.
    What would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
    It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
    Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

    Good idea. My Muay Thai coach does this often with a regular boxing mitt and Thai mitt and also a boxing mitt and focus shield, which is great for setting up boxing into kick combinations. For that price, I may pick them up and see.
