Pad work in Boxing

Reviewer Best of the pad work batch — actually teaches you how to build and coach a flow, not just perform one.

Moderator Explicitly teaches coaches and beginner boxers how to build a pad work 'flow' from scratch — squarely the skill.

Reviewer Great drill — clear system you can actually replicate with a partner.

Moderator A specific, well-defined pad work drill (1/2/3/4 slip counting system) from credentialed coaches — squarely the skill.

Reviewer Builds you up properly — footwork, then jab form, then combos — with real corrections along the way.

Moderator Squarely on-topic — a full boxing pad work session with combos and footwork, exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Really well-paced, builds complexity naturally — genuinely useful as a workout.

Moderator A full follow-along virtual pad work session building from basic combos up to more complex slip/roll sequences — squarely the skill.

Reviewer A real coach running a real session — you could actually follow this as a workout.

Moderator Squarely on-topic — an entire virtual pad work session focused on straight punches, exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Good structure -- teaches you how to build combos yourself, not just copy one.

Moderator Step-by-step construction of a four-phase pad combo with defense-into-counter at each phase, explicitly labeled advanced.

Reviewer Great breakdown, explains the why behind the style, not just the what.

Moderator Direct breakdown of Mayweather's specific mitt-work patterns -- the four defensive moves (roll, shoulder roll, pull, catch) that his pad sequences are built around. Entirely focused on pad work method.

Reviewer Good drill with real teaching behind it, not just numbers being called.

Moderator A real boxing coach explaining a specific pad drill built around block-then-counter patterns (body dip, roll under, shoulder roll into a counter), explicitly for pad work.

Reviewer Clears up the biggest pad-holding myth with real demonstrations - useful for any coach.

Moderator Entire video is a coach breaking down how to correctly hold pads/mitts for a partner - hand position, pad angle, not letting pads drift outside your shoulders. This is pad work instruction for the person holding the pads, dead center of the skill.

Moderator Dead-on pad-holding fundamentals -- range, head-level target, soft catch before the shot lands, narrow hold, adjusting distance for hooks vs straight punches. This is pad work, full stop.

Reviewer Simple tips that'll clean up your pad holding fast.

Reviewer Good progressive combos, clearly called throughout.

Moderator A full 10-round follow-along virtual pad session mixing jab, head movement, defense and counters — squarely the skill.

Moderator This names the single biggest holding mistake -- bringing the pads together and reaching for a kick -- and shows the fix, the A-frame with elbows hidden and shoulders back, then discusses matching your gear and holding style to your athlete's actual goal. It's squarely a lesson in how to do pad work well, from the holder's side.

Reviewer Genuinely useful -- a specific mistake, a clear fix, and real thinking about matching your holding to your goals.

Moderator Squarely about pad work -- a full structured Tabata-style mitt session with named combinations and explicit round timing.

Reviewer Great structure for a pad work conditioning session -- just bring your own technique.

Reviewer Clear, encouraging intro pad-work session for true beginners.

Moderator Explicitly labeled and built as beginner virtual pad work, walks through the full 1-6 numbering system before running rounds - squarely on topic for pad work at the beginner level.

Reviewer Sharp, practical tip for coaches already running pad sessions.

Moderator Whole video is about varying the rhythm and timing of the coach's mitt calls to train speed vs power vs technique - this is coaching-the-coach on pad work delivery, squarely on topic.

Moderator This actually teaches pad-work combinations step by step -- stance and weight transfer on the one-two-left hook, then building to a four-punch combo with a slip, slow first and then at speed. It's squarely a lesson in how to do pad work, not just a workout to follow.

Reviewer Clear, well-paced teaching -- breaks combinations down properly before speeding them up.

Reviewer Solid, detailed drills with real coaching reasoning behind them.

Moderator Detailed pad drills tied to sparring counters, mostly boxing-relevant though a couple of drills mix in kicks (suggesting a striking/Muay Thai leaning channel) which dilutes pure boxing focus slightly.

Reviewer Smart coaching concept, just interrupted by a sales pitch.

Moderator This is specifically about the coaching distinction between mitt sequences and mitt flows, with two example sequences built and demonstrated on pads - core pad-work coaching content.

Reviewer Good follow-along with real technique cues, a notch more content than the basic version.

Moderator Ten-minute structured mitt work session building jab to straights to hook combos to defense - all pad work, all the way through.

Reviewer Solid cueing, easy to follow, actually teaches pad-work fundamentals.

Moderator Straight-up beginner mitt work follow-along, jab through 1-2-hook-2, built for pad work practice minute by minute.

Reviewer Best of the follow-along style pad videos here, has real technique notes.

Moderator 15-minute structured pad workout that explicitly separates rounds by technique focus (straight punches, hooks, defense) with real form cues per round.

Moderator A boxing coach shows a personal trainer how to hold pads: set them where a real opponent's head would be (not too high or low), keep them close in a guard-like position, rest the pad you're not using so it's ready to come out, bring both out for combinations, and keep hook pads at chin level and tight to protect your shoulder and back. Squarely pad work, from the holder's side.

Reviewer Real coaching on the usual holder mistakes: pad height, guard position, protecting your shoulder on hooks. The banter drags it out, but the good parts are good.

Reviewer Good workout format, but assumes you already know the vocabulary.

Moderator A follow-along virtual pad work session calling real combinations — squarely the skill in practice format.

Reviewer Solid combo variety and cueing, just don't mind the sales pitch in the middle.

Moderator This is literally a guided virtual pad-work session - coach calls out feints and combos to throw, structured in rounds like real mitt work. It's squarely pad work content even though there's no physical pad holder shown, it's built to be practiced as a pad session.

Reviewer Good concept — defense-in-pads is how you actually build fight-ready pad work.

Moderator Squarely pad work, and specifically names the drill concept — layering slips, weaves and blocks into the pad rounds.

Reviewer Good on the numbers, then just turns into a fast workout.

Moderator Opens by explicitly defining the full 1-8 number system (including body-shot variants) before moving into rapid-fire calling — pad-work vocabulary actually being taught, not just drilled.

Reviewer Good starting point if you don't know the numbering system yet.

Moderator Explicitly a beginner-friendly padwork session, opens by teaching the numbering system for punches from scratch before drilling.

Reviewer A little coaching wisdom, not much technical meat.

Moderator Coach breaks down catching a specific favorite combo (6-3-2) on the mitts, including mitt positioning - it's pad work content, though thin and mostly a vibe/engagement tip rather than technique-heavy.

Reviewer Solid numbering + combo-building lesson, with a short gear plug.

Moderator Same as the others — full numbered combo system taught explicitly up front (including body shots), then built into 3-into-6 punch combos.

Moderator Solid slip-counter-block pad sequence -- right hand slip into left hook to body/head, then blocks into uppercut-hook. Straightforward pad work in action.

Reviewer A drill worth stealing for your own pad sessions.

Reviewer The step-by-step combo build-up is a good teaching structure.

Moderator Structured three-punch-combo pad session, builds each combo punch by punch across the round — squarely pad-work content.

Moderator Also squarely pad work, framed around combining punches, movement, and defensive timing under pressure - a step more specific than just listing benefits.

Reviewer Good framing of what pad work should actually demand of you.

Reviewer Skip to the defense section, that part actually teaches something.

Moderator Pad work combos plus a defensive-reaction segment (parry, block the hook, counter) -- squarely on topic.

Moderator This opens with real coaching about how to approach pad work -- watch for triggers from the hand, shoulder, or foot, react into the combination, throw with technique and speed, treat your holder like a live opponent -- before running the actual session. That framing is squarely useful for the sub-skill.

Reviewer The opening coaching tip about reacting to triggers is worth hearing -- the rest is just the workout.

Reviewer Nice progression (adding slips to combos) if you already have the basics.

Moderator Squarely pad-work combos, this time integrating slips into the combinations (1-2-slip-2-3, etc.) — doesn't re-teach the base numbers, assumes you already know them.

Reviewer Good combo workout, but light on actual technique coaching.

Moderator This is a live virtual-pad combo session — numbered combos, slips, angle creation — exactly the content of a pad-work round, just without a real partner holding the mitts.

Moderator Squarely about pad work and what it's for - feedback, stance correction, timing - even if it stays at the level of general benefits rather than a specific drill.

Reviewer True, but general - doesn't give you a specific drill to run.

Reviewer Workout more than lesson, but the reactive bit at the end is worth doing.

Moderator Pad work follow-along, numbered combos plus a reactive drill segment at the end (react to a cue without it being called out).

Reviewer Too vague to vouch for — might be good, might not.

Moderator Right skill and sport, though the caption is mostly abstract marketing copy ('combines physical training with mental development') rather than a description of an actual drill.

Reviewer More of a workout to keep pace with than a lesson.

Moderator Squarely pad work -- numbered combo calling, follow-along format, explicitly a 'virtual pads' session.

Reviewer Decent structure if you already box -- don't expect any technique coaching.

Moderator Another virtual pad-work session, this one building from ones and one-twos up through ducks and four-punch combos round by round. It's squarely doing pad work, again without stopping to teach form.
