How to choose coaching equipment:

Pick your gear by how you run rounds and what your fighters train:

• Punch combinations and speed: focus mitts are coach-held targets for fast, precise punch combinations and defensive slips. The Hybrid 150 ($32.77), Speed Coach FM ($39.97), Speed Training Curved Mitt ($49.95), FLX 3.0 Square Micro Mitts ($59.95), Pro Disk Punch Mitt ($69.95), and the air-padded Ultimate Classic and Speed Micro Air mitts ($89.77) cover entry to pro.
• Kicks, knees, and power: thai and kick pads take full-power kicks, knees, and punches. The Thai Econo Pad ($49.97), Round Kick Shield ($89.95 to $99.95), and the Iranian double hand kick pad ($99.95) build power and leg conditioning.
• Reaction and accuracy: the Boxing Paddle Target ($69.55) and Pro Striking Stick ($69.95) train timing, reflexes, and pinpoint accuracy.
• Live body work: the Super Body Protector ($159.95) lets a coach take real body shots safely and push fighters at full power with real-time feedback.
• Solo training: the Max Freestanding Body Opponent ($369.95) is a standing mannequin target for working rounds without a partner.

Size and fit guidance:

Coaching gear is chosen by the work, not by body size.

• Focus mitts: range from light, low-profile mitts for speed and reaction to thicker air-padded mitts that absorb heavier hands; curved mitts present a more natural punching angle.
• Thai pads and kick shields: larger and denser to take full-power kicks and knees.
• Body protectors: worn by the coach and sized to cover the torso; check the product page for coverage and strap fit.
• Pairs or singles: most mitts and pads are sold in pairs or singly as noted on each product page.
• Break-in: break in leather and air mitts gradually so the padding settles.

Use case quick reference:

• Build punch combinations and speed: focus mitts
• Train power kicks and knees: thai pad or kick shield
• Sharpen reaction and accuracy: paddle target or striking stick
• Drill live body shots: body protector
• Train solo with no partner: freestanding body opponent
• Warm up and travel light: the compact Hybrid 150 or Speed Coach mitts

What is the difference between focus mitts and thai pads?

Focus mitts are small, light coach-held targets built for punch combinations, speed, and accuracy, but they are for punches only. Thai pads are larger and denser and take kicks, knees, and elbows as well as punches, so they suit kickboxing and muay thai.

What coaching gear should a beginner coach start with?

A pair of focus mitts (from about $33) covers most punch work. Add a kick shield or thai pad (from about $50) once you start holding for kicks, and a body protector when fighters work body shots at power.

What is a freestanding body opponent for?

The Max Freestanding Body Opponent ($369.95) is a standing mannequin-shaped target that lets one person drill strikes and combinations with no partner to hold pads.

Do I need a body protector?

A body protector ($159.95) lets the coach safely receive full-power body shots and kicks while reading the fighter's form and power up close, which focus mitts alone cannot do.

How much does adidas coaching equipment cost?

Focus mitts run about $33 to $90, thai and kick pads about $50 to $100, the paddle target and striking stick about $70, body protectors about $160, and the freestanding body opponent about $370.
