MACPAD represents a radical improvement over conventional pad training in three key areas:
Effectiveness – A close simulation of actual competition conditions that significantly improves the ability levels of athletes over a shorter period. MACPAD allows faster more fluid combinations and movement, combining distinctly improved striking skills with enhancement of aerobic fitness levels, functional strength and power.
Safety- The fixed hand and arm positions massively reduce the risk of upper limb stress and injury to coaches, particularly the wrist, elbow and shoulder. It also imitates the elasticity of a real opponent so making the impact injury far less likely to the athlete.
Versatility – Ease of use of the MACPAD allows for a greater range of users and eliminates the need for a high level of technical ability by either the holder or the student, so literally anyone can use it effectively. It allows a wider variety of punches, strikes, kicks and movement options due to its unique 3D design. Coaches are able to resist more powerful punches and kicks meaning they are able to work with a wider range of students.
“I wish it had been around when I was fighting, I use it everyday with my boxers and the results are terrific. MACPAD is a real contribution to boxing.”
