Hi, I have just started boxing and am wondering the purpose of using 2 focus pads for learning to punch.

The trainer has asked our partner to hold a focus pad in each hand and we practice throwing combinations.

Are we meant to think of the focus pad as the target or as the finishing point?

I mean are we meant to think there is an invisible target before the pad, and the follow through ends up at the pad?

As orthodox, it has got me use to throwing a jab to my right, and throwing a cross to my left, instead of aiming for a target which is strait in front of me.

Thanks
