What it is

Rounds with a trainer holding Thai pads — thick forearm shields — calling combinations and hitting back.

The long version

This is the session. A pad round is a conversation: the trainer calls, you throw, he corrects by hitting the gap you left. He wears a belly pad so the body kick and the knee have somewhere to go at any moment.

Inference — the quality of a gym is the quality of its pad holders and the number of students per one of them. Everything else in the timetable you could do in a park.
