Focus Mitts | Beginner Pad Training

We recently started filming Sije Jamies training progress. Training with Focus Mitts can be very effective in teaching you timing and accuracy. You can also gauge if your strikes are effective.

What’s good about these particular videos we are filming you get to watch someone who hasn’t been training very long. If you are new to training in martial arts maybe you can identify with some of the problems she is having.

We think it’s great that Sije is letting us film some of her lessons.

When you are training you want to make sure that you give yourself some grace. All of us where beginners at one time.

Highlight: @ 18:51 Listen to Sifu Phu talk about the roots of our family system of Ngo Dac Na

Using Focus Mitts To Train Your Striking

When you are using pads to train your strikes you want to make sure you sink your energy. The tricky part is timing your body with your strikes. When done correctly your strikes should feel heavy.

About Sifu Larry Rivera

Sifu Larry has been training in martial arts since he was 5. In his early years his father influenced his martial arts training. He taught him the basics of self defense, guile, military tactics, Judo and Jiu Jitsu. At age 7 his he was enrolled in Goju-Ryu which he trained in until he was 16. He took sometime off, but when he came back he decided he was never quitting martial arts again and at the age of 19 his thoughts on what martial arts was and was not got flipped when he started training with Sifu Phu and learning internal martial arts. Needless to say, he's a lifer and a guy you want on your side.
