- Simple and straightforward

You can see in this anime how useful the mitt punching exercise is in facilitating communication between the two people interacting in the exercise.
Mutual Exercise
Mitt Punching is not only a useful aid to facilitating communication about stressful, anger-provoking topics, but it is also excellent exercise for both the psychologist and the client.
- Psychologist's Office : Not always possible due to space constraints
- Local Gym : The Psychologist and the client can meet up at a local gym
- Boxing Gym : Probably the best option since the boxing action will mesh well with the overall environment and not disrupt anyone's daily routine
- Hospital Physio Studio : Easier access because the facility is right in the hospital, but the intense exercise can easily be disruptive to other people using the area
Mitt Punching is one of the activities which brings a trainer and his fighter closer together.
It's vigorous, it's physical, and it releases a great deal of negative energy in an active, dynamic fashion.
Both trainer and fighter find themselves talking, trying to resolve perceived problems in upcoming encounters.
Sometimes those problems are actually personal ones holding someone back from being in their peak mental and emotional state.
A lot of stuff comes out when you are hitting those pads.
