Thai Pads 101
Here is part 1 of the Thai Pad series we will be putting out. In this video I cover the following:
1) How to hold the pads to avoid injury
2) Rested position and staying in rhythm
3) Breathing and vocalization
A quick note to add to #1, one more reason to not over tighten the Thai Pads is that it can cause wrist and arm sprains, as the pads have no give and all the rotation transfers into our forearms.
