Within Muay Thai, pad work is much more than simply punching and kicking pads. It is one of the most important training methods for developing technique, timing, rhythm, and cooperation between training partners.
At Leth's Muay Thai Gym, we teach you not only how to perform techniques correctly, but also how to hold and use pads properly. Good pad work requires awareness, communication, and a deep understanding of Muay Thai.

At Leth's Muay Thai Gym, we see pad work as an essential part of the learning process. It creates the connection between mastering the fundamentals and applying Muay Thai in practice.
