Uh... you forgot to tell them to yell oooweyyy!
Crap, now I have to re-film the whole thing
hard2hurt lol
It not oooweyy, it's Uuuuush! Get it right mate!
@@barryirlandi4217 that's what the guy hitting the pads says... the guy HOLDING the pads says OOOOHHWEEEEYYY!
hard2hurt **Oii
I read it as "how to hold pad thai", I must be hungry.
Lmfao
This is THE best beginners Thai pad video that I’ve seen, easy to digest and clear instruction, thank you.
Super important to know for muay thai! As a cocky beginner I didn't pay as much attention to this as I should and ended up in A&E after a knee to the chest skipped through my badly held pads and popped all the cartilage around my sternum - took 11 weeks to recover! (I am now a less cocky beginner!)
Ohhh s**t that must have been a butter pill to swallow. I'd be losing my mind if I couldn't train for 3 month! Coxky or not that's a very harsh punishment isn't it.... Hope alls good now and back to it!
@@markroyds23 Thanks Mark! It sucked! (Worst part was I was catching a long-haul flight the next week! Not fun!) But it was ok eventually and definitely paid a LOT more attention to how to hold the pads right after that! Spent a decent portion of the 11 weeks thinking wow! I want to be able to do that!
Glad you recovered man... first time I held pads I didn't brace for the kick at all (Kicker happened to have about 40lbs on me) my elbow hit me in my own liver... was embarrassing 😂
@@samholden1339 Ouch!!!! I'm feeling that!
I’ve been literally watching old videos of yours the entire day lol
Me 2 years later
@@jackyacar4696 me too 3 months later

It's great to know about developing a chemistry with the partner. I have 30+ partners on a daily I need to work with. Everyone is different but you learn to read them quickly and remember their styles, strengths, weaknesses and techniques. Thanks again.
Dude this channel is the equivalent of Athlean-X but for combat sports! It’s pretty cool
Please do a video on the do’s and dont’s of side kicks
Your wish is my command
Hey Shane, I’m 15 years old and I love all of ur muay Thai videos. I want to triangle and learn it so bad but every gym is either too far or too expensive. If you can make individual muay this lessons for beginners that would be so awesome. Thanks!
Lirone Sitbon I have been there before.Its hard,trust me. Improve your cardio and strength first(Basic stuff push up,squat, etc.).Don't learn advance technique,it will develop bad habits if you do it wrong
I just love thai pads. They're my favorite meal
Vince hope u back soon stronger than ever 💪💪💪💪
Did he lose?
Apparently knocked out the first round. Nothing but a learning experience. He'll come back 10x stronger
@@s.oddity3640 yeah, he lost. Casey kenney(the other guy) hit vince with a knee that totally knocked him out. But that is the game, you win some you lose some. I still believe vince can come back from this stronger and eventually end up in the ufc. LETS GO VINCE!!!
Thank you for this video. My son is 12 and started mma 4 weeks ago. I just purchased some pads. Great tips for me how to hold and use these.
Dude this video helped a lot!! Thanks guys for the demonstrations!
Longtime subscriber here, bro.
Passing through just to congratulate in your succes in UA-cam. Happy to see you and your other friend from the first videos having great reward.
I'm 4 classes in and a strong kick just sent my pad into my eye. Gonna be rewatching this over and over so that doesn't happen again.
Yo, me and the kids are about to have HELLA FUN👏🏿👏🏿😂🤣Thanks for the info big Dog🙏🏿💪🏿👍🏿
Thai pads > punching mitts 🔥🔥🔥
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS why? Mitts are for boxing and are easier to use for boxing thai pads are slow and large they can be used for boxing but they are a lot slower
I prefer mitts
Different tool for a different job. That's like saying a hammer is better than a wrench.
How do you absorb really heavy knees and round kicks without destroying your shoulders? I'm a fairly strong guy but have only been doing this for a couple of months and taki g these on the pads keeps straining my shoulder muscles.
I love your videos and the coach has noticed a marked increase in my progress since I found your channel, so thanks :)
Did you ever find out?
Stay loose, only flex when the kick/ punch hits. Also don’t be prideful, tell your partner to tone it down when he is hurting you hitting the pads. He or she can still practice good technique without having to blast you.
Seriously man u r the best youtuber I mean this is very basic and I needed it. Thnx bro
Thank you so much, I just started training Muay Thai but I had no idea how to hold the pads.
wooow great .finally i have find a chaine to improve my fight
thank you very much
Thank you, little details mean alot.
You should mention the fact you are holding the thai pads tight toward your body with your elbows in for the body kicks also slightly pinching your elbows together when you give a force back against the kick. Too many people dont do that and end up punching themselves in the face when they get kicked hard.
This will save my arms for tomorrow. Hope you might see the tag.
Great now I’m hungry for pad Thai
Ive used that one too
I’m new to striking and have been struggling with the cross, my wrist always experiences a sharp pain. After watching this I realise that it’s because so many people don’t meet the punch the slap, instead they jam the pad down range and fuck up my wrist. This is so common it’s not even funny, at all levels. Everyone should watch this video
I am definitely needed to remind myself so i needed to teach some few personal students to train martial arts
I needed to teach any personal client who is young or old or a beginner but had a martial art background such as a street brawler or a aikido or a judo grappler to learn kickboxing
Thank u I was in my head.. imma go train...
You should do a video of superhero fighting style breakdown.
Hey, Shane, when are you going to have another pad work course? I’m keeping my eyes open for it
Awesome. Thanks for this quick tutorial
Hey Shane, I'm a beginner and sometimes when I hold pads for more advanced fighters throwing a hard rear leg kick, I get a lot of pain on the inside of the wrist, right where the tendon heads to the thumb. Is there anything (besides the tips in the video) I can do to prevent this? Thanks in advance and congrats on hitting 3 million subs!
@@disgruntledsimpmod4879 I don't have this issue anymore, I think it actually was yeah, the muscles in my wrist I think just got worn out during a session so they couldn't take the movement at the end.
I always get bruising on my forearms from the kicks when holding Thaipads. And when holding for the switch kick It hurts.
What can I do differently?
Pick a smaller partner 😉
@@chr1staki yeah... find somebody that cant kick. Or give the wrong cues, act like they're doing it right when they are screwing up.
Heavy bag is for heavy hitting. Pads are for technique, drils, coordination...not for destroying. If you holding pads and ppl hit hard, you will not last long. You will end up with worn wrists, elbows and shoulders, maybe broken forearms. Trust me, I foud out the hard way.
Make sure your limbs are tight against your body and push into the kick as it's about to make impact
Thanks for all the feedback, It’s hard being a shortie in my gym. Makes everyone so damn powerful when I hold the pads lol.
I literally just bought some fairtex thai pads this video could've of came at a better time, Thanks!
great video shane you inspired me to create this channel with content like you :)
Thank you so much for this video Thai pad holding is the only thing stopping me from going to an more advance Muay Thai class @ my gym thank you Shane bro for your great videos also I wondered if you can make motivationl videos thanks peace.
Moving from boxing to muay thai this week so this video has perfect timing!
Thanks for the videos. Love them so much dude
These fight tips are great :)
Cheers mush appreciated..
Nice video as always 🤗
Getting ready for the rain
Thanks mate
title made me crave Pad Thai
Thank you sir
Great video.
Thanks Shane!
Great stuff
Vince is awesome!!!
He got KO'd in the first round.
@@TheOriginalPain18 shit happens he got caught, could happen to anyone.
@@dok9551 yh
I love Thai pads
Thanks chaps! Useful to start holding those pads properly.
Just, how about the leg kick?
Take note of the thumb next to the index finger! I made the mistake of putting it underneath, and really messed up my thumb for a week.
Nice video. I would have liked to see also low kicks though
Thanx guys
Thank you sir!!!
Good video. Have you ever used pads that have just one strap? Which kind would you recommend, single or double?
Great video man!
Anyone got any tips for a beginner, I’m training Muay Thai and when I hold the Thai pads and my friend throw a kick it hurts like hell on one same spot on the underarm. Same with the other arm. It’s in the middle of the underarm.
(And I’ve been racing motocross all my life so I know how to take pain) it’s just annoying and destroys the hole workout...
any tips would be awesome ! 🙏
Did you ever solve?
@@jameswilsonmusic7749 haha yes sir! I was weak… just keep grinding and your body will develop. 3years into Muay Thai today and I love every minute💎😁
@@michaelgyllencreutz9812 haha fair
Leaving a comment and a like :D
Thanks dude!
Great
Nice video! What about mistakes about the spinning hook kick? 👌🏽
Good instructions I did them different...but this way alot more safer lol
Here before 1000
Super helpful! Thanks!!
Too bad I can’t a short clip from
The Replacements.....”Nice hit, Shane!”
Wait a second, this doesn't look like Ram Ranch
How do you hold pads "freestyle" like the Thai Trainers in Thailand, were the fighter can throw what ever combination he wants and the pad holder catches every one of his strike? Can you please do a video on that?
Insane
Thanks for clearing up a lot of things that others don’t really explain.
Any advice for holding pads for people that are stronger and punch/kick really hard or are much taller than you? We mostly divide out our partners based on size, but sometimes, I have to hold for much bigger and stronger people. I’d really like to protect my shoulders and face.
Thanks, again. 👍
Pray
You have to exhale and really push against the kick like you yourself are throwing a strike against their shin with the pad else they are just going to kick it into you. You need to give a lot of resistance back
Shane in your opinion for someone who weighs around 175lbs what weight should a thai pad be? I'm looking at a set and there around 3.5lbs each.
You didn't show how to hold for low kicks. Beginners would really find that useful
Good idea
Actually have a whole video on that topic, because there's a few different ways of holding for low kicks: ua-cam.com/video/PWzhtEKTWbc/v-deo.html
Always hurts whatever way 😢
Gonna buy some thai pads for my girlfriend, she wants to be a padholder :D
shane i got a question what are the different fighting types in boxing and famous boxers that use those stances
What is training mask . please make a vedio
Basically a helmet so u dont go k.o. Really fast
@@Jungelmasta haha . very funny joke . but m not laughing
Sunny dutta in serious lmao
@@Jungelmasta brother then u r fool . first . Chek out what is a training mask on googol . its not an helmet. Buddy.
Sunny dutta This mask makes breathing harder to make the training more efective
I always look away when i hit a heavy bag. How can i get rid of it? Can u make video about it?
What weight gloves should i start with?? Male 165 5'9"
Unfortunately, the only pad I'm willing to hold is a good ol' Pad Thai
my left arm would get bruised up on body kicks, am I just holding them wrong? The guy was bigger and throwing heavy but I’m also really new to this.
Can we see that shin tattoo up close, it looks really nice :)
Go on his instagram @vincetheanomaly , he has pictures off it from all angles ;)
@@tomceMC that is a freaking nice tattoo. 😊
Do you have a video on how to perform a spinning back kick?
Yea dude look at the video from 2 days ago
Mark Wallis, I’ve been having issues where I don’t get notifications for my subscriptions. Thanks.
Please do a video om dempsy roll
Is it wrong to hold the pads downward with one over the other for a knee?
Do u Have Brand suggestion?
I think I'm doing something wrong cause I have some big bruises from the pads. Do you have any ideas of what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it? Cause it hurts and it is not so funny to hold them any more.
Dimensions of the pads?
Are these medium size thai pads?
Muay Thai
🥊
How do you do this without it cracking your elbows
Can you do how to do pads. I bought them and I always screw up my arms
Shane my knuckles are extremely hard, I’ve been practicing karate since I was 5 and started hitting the hard bag bare knuckle at 7, I have also been doing Krav Maga since I was 12 (I am 15) do you think I could land multiple headshots with little to no discomfort
No
i like holding them tight because if they're loose i feel like i can't hold them in place and then they just start flopping all over the place when the other person starts kicking LOL
I get confused with some combinations holding pads and then shake uncontrollably for a few seconds ...
Oweeee
Yo shane how'd u hold for low kicks tho
Do a wrestling video
Ahh thanks so much everytime when my friend wants to kick my stomach hurts cause i was holding it the wrong way
Edit : but cant train now cus of quaratine :(
All this time i thought that Pad Thai was a dish
At first, I thought it says "How to hold PadThai." Why would anyone need to learn how to hold a plate of food? Then "Oh... OK" :)
I think you meant pad thais
Shane I miss your long hair
