This is the essense of padwork in thailand, they dont spar so heavily but the padman attacks them and they have to react, so its like a sparring session with the padman.

The padmen are so experienced they can actually catch shots thrown by the fighers, so the padman isnt always feeding the shots to the fighters, sometimes its the other way around.

If you watch that carefully you can see some of the work is the padman catching what the fighter throws and defending against the padman.
