Use

The Hayabusa Target Paddles are excellent for boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Karate and Taekwondo. They are specifically designed for:

• High-speed reaction and timing drills
• Precision training and counter work
• Kicking and striking techniques focused on accuracy
• Combination training with alternating target zones
• Technique building in youth and beginner training

Thanks to the light, balanced design, the trainer can run drills for extended periods without tired arms, while the compact target areas force the fighter to work with precision and awareness.

Material and construction

The exterior is made from durable PU leather with reinforced double stitching, making the paddles resistant to the daily wear of a gym environment. The core features high-quality EVA foam padding with a sturdy acrylic spine, allowing the paddle to maintain its shape and absorb impact in a controlled manner. The combination of materials creates a paddle that is sturdy enough to withstand powerful strikes, yet light enough to move quickly during reaction drills.

Grip and comfort

The ergonomic handles are shaped to fit seamlessly in the hand, minimising strain on wrist and shoulder. The elastic wrist loops keep the paddle secure in your hand, even when you temporarily release your grip to give instructions or increase the pace. This makes it possible to switch quickly and effortlessly between different drills and presentations.

Dimensions

• Length: 35 cm (13.8 inches)
• Paddle width: 19 cm (7.5 inches)

This size strikes an ideal balance between target area and manoeuvrability, suitable for both strikes and kicks.

For whom?

These target paddles are intended for trainers, coaches, instructors and sparring partners who want to challenge their students on speed, precision and timing. Ambitious amateurs who want to work with a training partner on reaction time and accurate technique also benefit from the versatility of these paddles. With their attractive price point, they are also an interesting choice for smaller gyms looking to expand their equipment range.

Why target paddles?

Target paddles perfectly complement focus mitts and Thai pads in a complete training arsenal. While mitts and pads focus mainly on power and combinations, paddles challenge you on pure reaction, timing and accuracy. They are light, flexible to present and ideal for drills where the trainer can quickly move targets — which is essential for developing sharp reaction time in any combat sport.

Maintenance

Wipe the paddles clean after every training session with a lightly damp cloth. Let them air dry, away from direct sunlight, and store them in a well-ventilated space to prevent odour. The combination of PU leather and reinforced stitching makes maintenance minimal and the lifespan long, even with daily intense use.

With the Hayabusa Boxing Target Paddles, you choose a compact, versatile training tool that develops precision, reaction and speed in your fighters. A smart addition for any trainer or coach looking to enrich their striking programme with targeted technique drills.
