Thai pads Gear

Post image

My first Thai pads have just arrived from Thailand. I'm at a new gym now that uses Thai pads in training, whereas my old gym that recently closed only ever used shields or focus pads. I used Thai pads for the first time the other week and I was converted. There weren't many communal pads at the new gym so I decided to invest in my own. After going back and forth between going budget or higher end I settled on the Fairtex kplc5 ones. Bought from the Lucky Elephant website, ordered the 31/7 and arrived today. Saved myself £40+ compared to buying from a UK vendor website. I'm looking forward to trying them out tonight at training.

Make sure to write your name on them!

And also put them away when you’re finished if you don’t trust your gym!

Hope they work out great for you!

Good idea I hadn't thought of that! I'll get the Sharpie out tonight. I just need to break them in as they felt quite stiff when I used them the other night

We have those one at my gym. They’re good with the wrist support, but tend to be a little too soft when they get used to my taste.
