Is there such a thing? I’ve taken over 300 boxing and kickboxing on bag classes in the last 2 years. I just started Muay Thai classes with pad work. Obviously I am new to holding pads so I’m working on learning how to get it right.
I had a partner who clearly had more Muay Thai experience than me and went SO hard when I was holding pads. Like I’m semi concerned about my organs from their teeps 😆 That said, they weren’t exactly accurate so I couldn’t tell why tf they were going so hard.
Is this normal? I’ve had plenty of experienced partners but I’ve never felt like this before. It made me question if there are norms or etiquette around pad work?
