The demonstration above of the use of Fairtex Muay Thai Training Pads is a poor one. This striker, who I’m sure has loads of experience and talent, is failing to train and practice they way he fights… or is he? Take a look at the video a 2nd time and watch how his hands drop before he throws each punch, pay attention to how he dips his shoulders AND drops his hands before throwing each kick.
He does a good job with stiking the pad clean. He does a great job of moving with his dummy. He fails in a lot of technical areas that are essential to fighting. He wouldn’t be able to continue fighting if he dropped his hands after each strike.
People. Friends. Fighters. Practice and Train the way you intend to fight. If you’re not going to train correctly because you’re tired you should stop and study film, then return to striking pads or sparring when you can train properly. Not only does this prevent from developing bad habits, it will keep you from over training. Pushing yourself too hard during sparring sessions builds bad habits and creates a greater opportunity for injury.
Fairtex training pads are by far our most popular muay thai training pads. They are an incredible training tool and you’d be hard pressed to find a gym or training facility that doesn’t have them on hand.

Update: I don’t care if you like the fighter, or how good he is in competition. He isn’t training properly and is at a lazy point in his career. Much love though, loyal fans are good fans.
