Karate training mitts, also known as focus mitts or target pads, are used by trainers and partners to help karate practitioners improve their striking accuracy, speed, and technique. These mitts are typically padded and worn on the hands of the trainer, providing a target for the practitioner to hit during drills and combinations. They are designed to absorb impact and protect both the practitioner's hands and the trainer's hands during training sessions, enhancing overall skill development in karate.
