BLOCKERS AND TARGETS
Blockers & Targets
If your martial art involves punching, kicking, or any type of striking (and that’s most of them), then you’ll need targets for training (because you can only hit your training partner for so long before they get tired of it). This type of target training is essential for building coordination, improving accuracy, and perfecting footwork by working with a live partner instead of a bag.
Muay thai pads and focus mitts are some of the commonly used targets, thanks to their versatility. Paddle targets are popular in karate and taekwondo especially. However, there is no one “right” or “wrong” target for any art. It all depends on what specific strikes you want to practice!
