I recently purchased Thai Pads (including focus mits and the shields that cover your forearms). Although they are great for boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai training, I was wondering if anyone on this forum has ever tried applying Wing Chun techniques on the Thai pads? I have practiced centerline punches on the focus mits with Tony, but what I am asking is whether any of you have tried any drills involving combination punching, elbows, kicks, etc...? Do you think this type of training is inconsistent with the softness and relaxed technique we are trying to develop? Please respond and provide suggestions as to how we might approach pad training w/o violating the principals of Wing Chun. Thanks.
