Pad Work Timer
Pad and mitt rounds run two to three minutes with a minute between, so a pair can hold and work without anyone counting. Two minutes is common for beginners and for high-output combination work.

Questions
How long should a pad round be?
Two to three minutes. Three matches the fight round; two suits beginners and heavy combination work.
Should the holder and worker swap every round?
Most coaches swap on the rest, which is why the rest is a full minute rather than thirty seconds.
Can the whole class see one screen?
Yes — one screen on the wall runs the room, which is the point.
Ask your coach to put this on the gym TV. It is free, it works on anything with a browser, and it runs on its own once it is up.
Gyms that want their own name, logo and colors on it instead of ours pay $99 once — no subscription, no per-screen fee. How that works →
