Kick Paddles

Kick Paddles are widely used to develop better kicking techniques, especially in Taekwondo. Kick paddles are great for improving speed, movement and aim, all vital to successful sparring. Drills can be designed that allows your instructor to utilise your particular skills, and teach you new methods, useful when sparring for real. Changing height, moving in random directions, kick paddles have been a proven method of training for many years. Kick paddles come in two basic designs, the single and double kick paddle.

Both styles of kick paddle offer the exact same benefits, however, double paddles are often used for kids and beginners as they are generally easier to hit and give that confidence boosting 'crack' as the two paddles contact together when kicked. Single paddles are used for higher grades, as their techniques are often well developed and can strike the single kick paddles with sufficient power.
