MMA Brawl

Punching mitts are made to practice punching and striking in motion, like in a real fight.

Heavy bag is nice to practice extremely hard shots but the bag’s motion is really limited. You can only circle around the bag, that’s about it. It’s really good to isolate punches or strikes and practice them over and over, but it has nothing to do with a real fight.

Every type of punching bags have different use. The punching mitts are use to reproduce a real fight. You usually set a timer to 3 minutes and above, and your trainer or workout partner makes you work out different combos during the full length of a round. The padding on the mitts allows your trainer to use them like real gloves, to imitate counters without risking strong injuries. It’s like punching with open palms.

The Focus Mitts from Piranha Gear are two very robust Punching Mitts created from genuine leather. They are more or less 12” long, 7.5” wide and 2” thick with additional impact absorbing. Easy and secure closing with Velcro wrist strap.

• Solid robust focus mitts
• Real leather
• Heavy – Designed for serious hitters

Check out this boxing workout video. They demonstrate really well the use of focus mitts. Of course in MMA you can add elbow strikes, knees and leg kicks to your arsenal of blow but this is a good demonstration of the focus mitts.

If you want to practice really hard leg kick, you should use a kick pad, Focus mitts are too light for that.
