Most people I see doing pad work have not been trained by a good pad man
My training is all about using the arms as entry to the target
Not hitting the arms or hands
That doesn't mean you can't attack the arms but how you do is quite different to pad work
Yes, that's what I meant to convey. Some trainers complain about other trainers' approach—not holding the pads more realistically. Most pad workouts I have seen include both holding pads and body armor.
Some trainers do multiple types of pad work. A few may not. Watching one workout may not be representative of the entire pad work program. Also, some trainers do not want to reveal their entire program to the public and have closed door workouts.
Boxing is less chasing hands (e.g., slip, pull back and punch simultaneously) than some MAists that try to bridge, trap, etc.
