Muay Thai boxing equipment is not something that you would just go to your local department store and pick up. It may not even be available at some sporting goods stores although most specialty boxing equipment shops carry some general kick boxing training equipment. There are many pads and pieces of protective gear that you must put on to even train for this brutal sport. Much of the training must be done with the assistance of a “feeder” that “catches” or deflects the hits and kicks. But at www.Punchmate.com you can find a line of new training products designed for boxers and kick boxers that will be an excellent addition to your Muay Thai Boxing Equipment-and you don’t need a partner to use it.
What is the Punchmate? It is a unique patented piece of training equipment that has a target pad with a boxing glove mounted next to in connected by a stand to a precision balanced coil base. When you hit the pad even slightly it springs back and then forward at you bringing the glove back to simulate a return hit. Muay Thai Boxing equipment has no equivalent. It is an excellent tool to improve mobility and speed along with sparring and defensive techniques.
Can you kick the Punchmate? No, you can’t do everything with the Punchmate that you can do with a Thai sparring partner, but there are definite advantages to having a “partner” who is not wearing protective Muay Thai boxing equipment. The Punchmate will never get hurt or tired or have another commitment. The Punchmate can be installed in your own home easily so that you can use it on your own schedule without having to go to the gym to use their Muay Thai boxing equipment.
How can the Punchmate improve your Thai boxing if you can’t kick it? With the Punchmate you can improve your hand and upper body coordination along with your footwork and defensive techniques. You will be quicker and your punches and jabs and combinations will be more precisely placed to get the most effective results. When you add this to your other Muay Thai boxing equipment it will only enhance your fighting skills. You also won’t have to worry about injuring a partner or yourself while you are simply training. You can’t always say that about other Muay Thai boxing equipment.
In Thai boxing it is essential for your reaction time to be as quick as possible. You can’t let down your guard for a fraction of a second or you will get pummeled by a fist, elbow, knee, or head butt. This is why it is so important to work on your reflexes with your Muay Thai boxing equipment. A heavyweight punching bag or even a training partner cannot duplicate the precision balance coil spring of the Punchmate and they will not always return punches with the same quickness or precision. This is just one more training tool to improve your Muay Thai boxing equipment arsenal.
