About the product
We carry the double kick pad from Shinka Combat because it holds up to what it goes through, and because we keep it in stock in quantities that cover a whole class. It is a double pad - ONE pad built in two layers - and the two layers are what give the loud clap when the kick lands on target. The outside is high-quality matt PU leather that is easy to wipe clean, and inside is EVA foam that takes the impact. At approx. 39 x 19 x 8 cm and approx. 500 grams it is a little thicker than the thin models, but still easy to hold out. A reinforced wrist strap and an ergonomic handle give a stable grip through intense sessions. The pad comes in one version.

Questions and answers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Do I get two pads when it says "double"?
No - you get one pad, and the supplier states this itself. "Double" is not a quantity but a construction: the pad is built in two layers with air between them, and it is the two layers clapping against each other that give the sharp sound when the kick is right. That is worth holding on to, because focus pads and thai pads in our range are sold as a pair - the word "double" in a title means something other than "pair".
-
Why is it noisy, and is that an advantage?
The sound is the whole idea. A double pad claps when the two layers hit each other, and the clap only comes if the kick lands cleanly and with enough speed. That makes the pad its own judge: the athlete does not need to ask whether it landed, because it could be heard. That is why pads like this are good for fast combinations and for classes where a coach cannot correct everyone. On the other hand it is not the right choice for full-power kicks - then you need a thick kick pad instead.
-
When should I choose a small kick pad over a large one?
When it is speed and precision being trained, not power. A small kick pad is held in one hand, moves quickly and can be presented at many heights, so the athlete has to hit a moving target. A large kick pad stands still and takes heavy kicks, but it cannot keep up with a fast combination. Most clubs have both. If the pad is to be used for hard kicks to the thigh or body, choose the large one - a small pad does not protect the holder.
-
How do I make it last?
Wipe it with a damp cloth after training and let it air dry - never on a radiator and never in direct sun, because the heat makes the foam stiffen and the surface crack. Keep a particular eye on the handle and the elastic: on a small kick pad it is the grip, not the padding, that gives up first, because all the force of the kick is pulled through it. Check the seams at the handle regularly, and replace the pad when they start to give.
