I just ordered target mitts and i wanna get started doing some padwork with my father. I was wondering what padwork really is. When you start, i bet it is really slow but i was watching Mayweather do padwork and it is so fast. Is it just combinations or is it all random.

The way to start using focus mitts is with a plan. The person using the mitts will call out a combination and then position the mitts for that combination. You, as the boxer execute and then he calls out another sequence.
For instance, I will say jab and lift my left mitt to catch it. Then I could say double jab, and you would throw the double jab. Then a 1-2 and so on. The key for the focus mitt holder is to only show the target when appropriate.
Eventually it can get more random. The mitt holder can just show the target and the boxer can choose his attack. The mitt holder can even throw some counterpunches to keep the boxer awake and alert. But this takes a lot of practice and a lot of timing. The mitt holder needs to be able to put the targets in the right spots and catch the punches (slight forward movement at impact).
