Focus mitts, like those above, sometimes have a dot or logo in the center to perfect accuracy
and are generally designed to be worn on the hands.

Focus mitts are pads designed to increase speed and accuracy when working punching or kicking techniques. Generally focus mitts are designed to be worn on the hands of a trainer or partner who can then move them to create different targets to hit.

Focus mitts are designed to be easily moved and held and therefore are not normally used to work power strikes. Power strikes are more likely to be trained using heavy bags, thai pads or kicking shields.  While many prefer curved focus mitts for training punch combinations, flat focus mitts (like those shown in the photo) are best for kicking and can be used for punches as well.

A good focus mitt holder not only positions the mitts effectively for training but gives back enough resistance to help their partner balance their force.
