u/snackies · 4 pointsr/MMA

So first you want to talk to boxers that have tried other gloves. I've tried a lot of different gloves. But then you want to go into like... the nitty gritty of 'what is the glove for?'

The biggest thing is if you are actually training (that means REAL training like... 3 hours a day for 4-6 days a week hardcore) you will need a bag glove, and a sparring glove. Because in a month or two even the nicest 'general purpose glove' will get it's foam compacted from hitting the bag and it will be dangerous for you to hit your sparring partner with.

Everlast gloves are... "ok" for only basic bag work and the BIG qualifier is that... once you start developing more muscle and punching power... those gloves, the ergonomics, the wrist protection etc, can actually cause a lot of hand problems and potential injuries. I have hayabusa tonkushu regenesis 16 oz gloves for bag work and even without hand-wraps I feel like the amount of wrist protection they offer I could never hurt myself throwing with them. With everlast gloves you BETTER wrap your hands if you're throwing hard. Because I can bend their wrist support with my pinky. But hayabusa's are like $130 and basically the best bag glove you can buy so... Assuming you're on a budget...

The things you look for in a bag glove: IMF tech and Gel padding are both great for bag gloves, multi-layer foam isn't bad either but gel is specifically something that is great on bag gloves and awful for sparring gloves because it's only purpose is not to soften the impact to the target but to evenly distribute the force through the glove to your hand.

So like the title gel world bag gloves are a great option, ringside's imf tech bag gloves are also great.

A BIG quality flag is going to be, normally you want to look for 100% cow-hide leather or just 100% leather, there's a few exceptions, Hayabusa's synthetic leather is the ONLY synthetic that's actually good. Don't believe any other marketing, with that they've actually done like tensile strength testing (how much force does it take to tear it) as well as like folding tests, it lasts longer than leather, where as every other companies synthetics are generally garbage unless they opt to tell you the results of the tensile strength tests and durability tests (they won't...) if you wanted to order hayabusa's leather it's probably more expensive per square foot than cow-hide leather anyway. Compared to the synthetic leather that other companies use which is... pennies.

The specific glove for bag gloves would be the Ringside Apex bag glove, it's the cheapest imf bag glove, it is synthetic leather, but assuming you're on a budget you can get them for sub $50 off of amazon. Up from that the title gel world bag gloves or the Triumph United Death star gloves are both ~$80 and they're both all leather I think personally you'll get slightly better padding from the gel bag gloves but better wrist support from the triumph united gloves, comfort is a wash between the two I think.

Sparring gloves: On a budget, like looking for a $50 glove the IMF sparring gloves https://www.amazon.com/Ringside-Sparring-Elastic-Boxing-16-Ounce/dp/B000NZKFL6

Would be your entry level sparring glove, just... very solid, very reliable. And very cheap for an all leather glove. One thing with this is you have to do a bit of bagwork on these, hard bagwork, to break in the IMF stuff. IMF is basically like... they make a space in the glove and inject foam (think of a calking gun sorta) into those spaces where they've designed to be like sealed foam padding areas. But once you break them in they're great.

The ultimate sparring glove would still be a winning 16 oz glove, it's the industry 'dream' glove. But they're like $300 and personally I will say that they charge far more for their brand and you can actually get BETTER (yes better than winning) gloves for cheaper. If you go onto the Sherdog forums there are a couple people doing custom gloves specifically top-boxer, a brilliant single man custom glove-maker that works out of pakistan.

LOTS of pro fighters comission a pair of his custom gloves... Why? Because the guy is a fucking wizard, he doesn't just make them with your designs / color choices... you send a scan of your hand to him measurements of your fingers and everything like that so he can custom design the hand compartment FOR your hands. He's even designed some gloves that fit snug for a veteran who was missing like 2 fingers on one hand and his index finger on his other hand. And by all accounts they worked brilliantly for him.

And it's like $150-160. Also if you've watched the recent embeddeds... maybe you've noticed Jon Jones' Top-Boxer gloves with "Jon Jones" On one glove and "LHW Champion" On the other those are top boxer's.

Cowboy Cerrone also has a pair, as does Conor Mcgregor, as do a lot of UFC athletes. Because they are actually custom TO YOU. They'll tend to actually be better than winning gloves. Which for $160 is a steal. Biggest downside with them would be that you have to wait for him to get to your order. You're ordering from a craftsman not a company. I've heard it's almost always like... 2 weeks to a month for him to finish and ship them then shipping is probably a week or two. But he might arguably be the best fight-gear craftsman in the world.

On the cheaper side but still more expensive than the $50 imf tech sparring gloves, I cannot recommend the triumph united death adder enough. John Wayne Parr uses them Joe Schilling uses them, Mark Hunt uses them.

Yes they are also sponsored by them, they're fucking good gloves. And they're way under-priced for how great they are.

They're a small form factor for sparring gloves at 16 oz, they feel like i'm wearing a 12-oz twins thai glove and yet my wrist and hand are super protected, the padding is fantastic. I only have the lace up (which by the way is fucking gorgeous looking) which is now $90, but this last weekend all of their death adders, hook and loop and lace up were $50. Which was a fucking STEAL, I actually bought their hook and loop just to try it out since I already had their lace up version.

u/BoopserStrikesBack · 1 pointr/MuayThai

Welcome to muay thai! I'm 26, female, 5'4", and have been training for approx. 3 years. I'm not an expert by any means but I've seen some things and met some great fighters! This is an amazing sport and it will teach you so much about yourself and what you can handle, both physically and mentally. So happy to see more women embracing it ! Just wanted to send a quick applause to you!

Regarding glove size, I'd advise you talk to your gym about the size they want their fighters to train with. Are you hitting heavy bags? Thai pads? Each other? A combination of all the above?
16 oz. is pretty commonly mandatory and I've found many gyms prefer this in the event you spar a lot since it involves the most amount of padding. I train with 14oz. My 2 girlfriends (both the same size and height as me) train with 12oz. We primarily do dutch style kickboxing, hit thai pads, and spar. If your gym is fine with any weight, then it's your preference as to how much bulk you feel you need. Don't worry, your hands will be pretty protected anywhere from 16-10oz. Slimmer weights then that and now you're getting into professional fight training level.

As far as glove brand...many muay thai people love Fairtex and Twins, which I'm sure you've seen. You can't go wrong with that brand - they're very solid options for you especially as a beginner. I happen to think their price point is pretty good as well! I have Raja (linked above), which I like, but I have really small hands and sometimes I feel that they float a little too much in my gloves. I would buy Raja again but I'd figure out some way to try them on first. Both of my friends have Superare (linked above) and they love their gloves. They are snug on your hands (again, we're all small like you), really well made, and a good price point. If I needed new gloves I'd absolutely consider these.

Venum is a nice brand - I have Venum shinguards - but I'm not sure how their gloves are. From my perspective Venum is definitely flashy and pushing their advertising, and maybe more focused on promoting their overall MMA gear versus boxing/muay thai. I've met people with Venum gloves and they seem happy enough with them. They also don't go out of their way to sing their praises. I'm not sure what brand of glove your gym is promoting. They could be a great option for you since they shouldn't want to promote poor gear to their fighters - is there a reason why you don't like them?

I find that I cannot train without hand wraps, so I'd advise that you get several wraps. They're not expensive. Ringside 180" wraps are my tried and true, and I've used several brands. There are many different ways to wrap your hands - my advice is to find a tutorial on youtube that focuses more on padding your knuckles than your wrists. You might find that with all the training your knuckles aren't used to that level of impact. It's normal, your hands won't break....sometimes adding a little extra gauze can help with the impact.

Drink water, listen to your instructor, and go kick some ass! Hopefully this helps you out. Happy to answer any other questions if they come up!

u/McToon · 5 pointsr/Boxing

The real key to finding good gloves for cheap is that boxing gear is randomly marked down, I at least have gotten some ringside equipment on amazon for half price or less these last couple weeks. (imf pro style 8oz for $28 marked down from $67 and ringside headgear marked down to $11 from $67) Maybe you missed some end of the year overstock sales but really year round there are good options if you're on a budget. There is no reason you should have to buy crap equipment. Your only problem will be identifying what is quality or not so its good you're asking.

These are excellent 8oz for bagwork/mittwork. Really good padding, great wrist support but a tight fit. For me these are my favorite gloves I own and are kinda the gold standard to which I shop for other gloves now.
http://www.amazon.com/Ringside-IMF-Fight-Gloves-8-Ounce/dp/B00B01AHKG/ref=sr_1_94?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1420382962&sr=1-94&keywords=ringside+gloves

I don't own any RDX gloves but I was looking into getting these, can't beat that price.
http://rdxsports.com/product/authentic-rdx-leather-red-white-fight-boxing-gloves.html

same gloves on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/RDX-Leather-Boxing-Gloves-Grappling/dp/B00F4A9K8Y/ref=sr_1_16?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1419914007&sr=1-16

Good brand, great reviews.
http://www.amazon.com/Training-Stand-Up-Boxing-Gloves-Marine/dp/B00BKPFJU0/ref=sr_1_77?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1420382962&sr=1-77&keywords=ringside+gloves

There are loads of options out there don't think that you have to buy a glove that costs X ammount. There are great quality gloves (and bad gloves) at all price points. General rule of thumb for me is that ringside is a safe bet but like any other major brand you're paying more for the brand. Stay away from Everlast gloves or any other glove company that makes gloves for casual boxers, you increase the chance of getting some toy feeling gloves. Also once you learn what gloves you like/wtb don't be afraid to search ebay for used.

Lastly if you are a first time buyer, don't be afraid of getting lace up gloves, they have better wrist support which both protects your wrist and feels better. You might need to get used to tying the laces or get help to tie them sometimes but its worth it, 9/10 hook and loop/velcrow gloves dont feel very good on the wrist IMO.

EDIT: Saw the gloves you linked. Don't get those, there are far better, those are like some of the worst you can get. In boxing gloves equipment its actually the brands you don't know that have higher quality per dollar generally. Read reviews and look for people that seem to know boxing/boxing gear.

EDIT2: I forgot to mention I own those gloves you linked as well so I know for a fact they don't feel great. (I've got the 12oz versions wrist feels flimsy and padding is stiff... they just feel cheap. not necessarily absolute garbage, I still use them sometimes and they're not the worst for the price but still they feel like half the glove you can get for just a little bit more. I feel like the $30-50 range is the sweet spot if you know what gloves to look for.

u/deh707 · 3 pointsr/amateur_boxing

Before we get started, get some good handwraps!! Any of the Mexican Style 180 inch wraps.

Handwraps are a must. They do not absorb shock (that's the gloves' job), but they are the first line defense in keeping those little bones stabilized. Search youtube for handwrapping methods; there are many types and it's up to you on which you want to stick with.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mexican+style+handwraps

As for gloves in general; I wouldn't recommend any mexican style gloves (Cleto Reyes, Casanova, or just the label "Mexican-style" for generics) for beginners [unless they have padded versions, like Cleto Reyes Safetec (Pro fight/Training), Cleto Reyes Extra Padding (Sparring/Bag/Trainers)].

Basically, mexican-style gloves have their padding distributed differently (less on knuckle area), resulting in less overall hand protection, but allowing you to "feel your punch" more, which is definitely more fun and satisfying for some people.

This may not be optimal for beginners until punching technique is improved considerably.



1) Ring To Cage C17 2.0.

These gloves are actually inspired by Winning gloves (the long-time king of boxing gloves in fit/comfort/protection/durability). If you dig deep into the history on the Sherdog forums; it started in early 2013 by a user sending his pair of Winning 16oz gloves to RingToCage to have cloned/copied. After multiple revisions, the end result was great. It even went into mass production.

While not an exact clone; it's damn near close in terms of comfort and shock absorption. I have multiple pairs of C17s and Winning, and I must say; for a glove that's about 80% similar to Winning for less than half the price; it's a must have.

http://www.ringtocage.com/japanese-style-training-gloves-2-0-velcro-or-lace-up/

http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Style-Training-Boxing-Gloves/dp/B0143R1W7K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450528257&sr=8-1&keywords=ring+to+cage+c17


2a) If you want 10oz Reyes pro fight gloves, go for the Cleto Reyes Safetec version. They are meant for training as well, and will last much longer.

I use them myself, to alternate with my Winning 10oz pro fight gloves (my favorite gloves of all time)

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cleto+reyes+safetec

Just note that professional fight gloves are not made to last long. Bag/training gloves would be your best bet.


2b) Rival RB1 Ultra bag gloves. (The RB20/Elite are good too, but only available in 12oz/14oz)

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=rival+bag+gloves+ultra&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Arival+bag+gloves+ultra


2c) Ring To Cage C17 2.0 is also available in 12oz.

2d) Top Contender Amateur Competition gloves (10oz/12oz)

These are only $27 right now (the red 10oz), and they're pretty good for what you pay (I used to main them until I got my hands on Reyes-Safetc/Winning fight gloves). I am not sure if they will last as long as (or longer) than professional fight gloves, though. If I had to guess, due to the extra padding which is required by Amateur boxing standards; they probably last longer.

http://www.amazon.com/Contender-Fight-Sports-Competition-12-Ounce/dp/B006CUF4BM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1450529505&sr=8-4&keywords=amateur+competition+gloves

3) lol sorry, I don't have notable experience in this department.

4) Outslayer heavybags

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=outslayer+bag

These things are great. They are only stuffed with fabric, NO sandbags at all, so there will be little to no chance of the bottom getting rockhard like my Ringside Leather bag.

u/GoopyEyes · 1 pointr/xxfitness

Kickboxing is a fantastic workout and classes are usually more fun as there is more variety than, say, a basic strength training or lifting class.

First, in regards to what to expect, I have done a few kickboxing classes - or classes with strong kickboxing elements - and have actually written full reviews of each in case that's useful: Kickboxing CKO, HIIT, Turbo Kick

As far as appropriate dress and gear, the studio will most likely supply any gear you need as a beginner, though you may need additional items down the line. It's possible you will need your own gloves and/or hand wraps, so I would just call to inquire. If you need to purchase your own, I use these which are pretty inexpensive off Amazon and they do the job just great. Clothing wise, I'd advise going with something form fitting. It's likely you'll do some conditioning in your class as well and you'll not want to worry about your shirt riding up and pulling your pants up over and over. But beyond a good fit, you definitely can wear basic items, nothing fancy needed.

Sadly, to your bonus question, I am not gifted in that department so I will leave this to another wonderful lady to provide advice.

u/lego_monkey · 2 pointsr/MuayThai

In general you don't want to use the same gloves for heavy bag work and for sparring because you will compress the material over time and risk injuring a partner. For heavy bag gloves I would go with 14-16oz for your size and as far as brand, a bit depends on your body type and preference.

Some people like harder gloves that have less give and others prefer ones that may be softer and less responsive but easier on your hands. Also, I would recommend that no matter which gloves you get, make sure they have adequate wrist support (thicker wrist straps made of leather instead of elastic and straps that double back will be the most secure).The brands you named all have quality gloves but there are two others I would recommend:

Title Gel Bag gloves $99:
These are fantastic gloves that will hold up and can take a beating. They have great wrist support and are really easy on your hands.

RDX Bag Gloves $69: These are a bit more dense and have a more snug fit but if you prefer harder gloves these are a good option. Wrist support is good and once you break them in they really form to your hands.

u/Roscoe_Merriweather · 2 pointsr/MuayThai

I figure someone is going to ask about my experience with the equipment that I started out with. Keep in mind I don't have much frame of reference, so I can't compare my gear with anything from Twins, Top King, Fairtex, etc...

Venum Challenger 2.0 Boxing Gloves ($48) - These have been my only pair of gloves, and I've been running them a about 4 hours a week. I like that they're longer than some of the other gloves I looked at, which seems to keep my wrists aligned with my fists, and keeps everything supported. The only wear that I've noticed is that a few days ago, I found a small tear in the lining of one of my gloves. I think these gloves are great for someone new to MT, and especially for someone that isn't training a lot. I'm happy with these gloves, and I think they'll last me a year (especially if I pick up a pair of bag gloves). I'm religious about spraying disinfectant on my gear and drying it out between uses, so that may be a factor)

Venum "Kontact" Shin and Instep Guards ($29) - The elastic is still tight after 5 months, and the foam is contouring to my shin nicely. These seem to do thejob, although two days ago I took a hit from an elbow or a knee, and the impact seemed to have penetrated through the foam. My shin feels a little brutalized, so my opinions might be changing about these things. At some point I want to upgrade to the Top King shin guards.

Shock Doctor Gel Nano Convertible Mouthguard ($14) - The guard seems a little bulky. It covers the top teeth, but partially forms to portions of your bottom teeth, so it seems to keep the jaw stable. I still have all my teeth, so that's good.

Ringside Mexican-Style Boxing Handwraps , 180-inch ($7) - I initially bought super cheap, shorter, cotton, Everlast handwraps that were garbage. When I started sweating the Everlast wraps loosened up, and didn't seem to do the trick. My Ringside wraps are awesome. I now have two pairs, and I think I'll sneak a few more into my Amazon basket, the next time my wife wants me to order _____ for the home (certain colors of wraps are an Amazon add-on item, where you need to spend $25 to get free shipping)

(I also recently bought some MT shorts from amazon. I like them well enough, and they're a huge improvement over working out in standard workout shorts. My only problem is that these shorts don't exhibit a competitive level of flair and are completely deficient in dragons and tassels.)

u/kitchbitchstitch · 2 pointsr/trollfitness

Check out /r/amateur_boxing for lots of helpful tips. Not many of us trolls there, but I like to think I represent well.

Handwraps, specifically mexican style handwraps and gloves. I love Venum gear, but for a beginner, really anything will do. I used the $20 Everlast gloves from Dicks for the first two years. I'd recommend 14 oz or heavier.

Out of curiosity, are you a member at a boxing gym? Thinking of joining? I ask because seriously, good form above all else. I've been boxing on and off for 6 years and the only reason I've stuck with it so long (and gotten pretty good at it) is because of my coaches. I won't get way into it, since this isn't a boxing subreddit, but there is so much more to boxing than just punching things and it is a WHOLE NEW WORLD that awaits you out there.

u/D1screet · 2 pointsr/amateur_boxing

1.) For the most part, as long as you stay away from the cheap varieties from companies such as Everlast/Century, you should be alright. You could very well go with the Cleto Reyes Training Gloves (16oz.) and not regret it. A slightly cheaper recommendation would the Ringside IMF Tech Bag Gloves, although I must warn you that they are quite (notoriously) well-known for being very stiff when used brand new and will need to be broken in with use. A far more primo option that you could take would have to be Winning gloves. Not much else to say here except that most of the links I provided point towards Velcro (Hook and Loop closure) gloves, although if you did want gloves with laces, you could easily find lace variants of the same gloves on Amazon.

2.) Those 10oz. gloves are meant more for competition and actual fights, rather than mitt work; I would definitely recommend that you communicate with whomever you're planning on training with for what they would like for you to get, as they could just as well have you use your 16oz. gloves for mitt work as well.

3.) The Meister Focus Mitts have worked out pretty well for me, seems pretty sturdy and well built and has held up for me. There's a ton of different brands out there, as long as you pick one from a reputable producer, you should be alright.

4.) Ringside has some good heavy bags around; but I would probably be a bit more concerned about where/how you're going to hang it, first.

u/Thetek9 · 2 pointsr/amateur_boxing

Winning gloves are a huge investment for someone to make without knowing if boxing is truly for them.

I tried a lot of gloves and the two that I felt were the most supportive for padding were Ringside IMF Bag Gloves and Hyabusa Tokushu Regenesis Gloves. I went with the Hyabusa as they felt like they needed less breaking in and had excellent wrist support.

u/unnamedstripper45 · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

Been adding Heavy Bag into HIIT workouts and after a couple weeks decided I'd like to break the bank for some proper wraps and bag gloves. Haven't been able to find a good store nearby, but online selection is pretty good: they have about 3-4 different sets each from TITLE, Ringside, Hayabusa, Venum and Cleto Reyes. Was wondering if I could get some recommendations for those brands.

-8.7'' wrist, looking for 16oz gloves

-Flexible for price, $150/1100rmb max

-6in1ft, weigh about 210 pounds (hence the workout!)

-Training/bag only going 2-3 times a week.


Based on some research/recommendations been looking at this set in particular:

Hayabusa Tokushu

Also choosing between these wraps, not really sure what to look for other than 180 inch.

Fairtex

Ringside

Everlast

Revgear

Thanks in advance!

u/AlcoholicToddler · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

I'm buying a pair of boxing gloves strictly for heavy bag work. I'm going with 14 oz. I'm trying to look for something under $50. I know, it's probably not the best idea to buy anything under $100, but I can't really afford that right now.


Out of these which would yall choose? Also, any additional gloves that you recommend would be awesome!



Venum Challenger 2.0


Venum Contender


Sanabul




Thanks in advance guys!

u/d0v14 · 2 pointsr/amateur_boxing

Any thoughts on TITLE Leather Training Gloves as first gloves?

For bag work and some sparring. The reviews are great and they are recommended in some 'best budget gloves' lists, should I get them?

Also what weight should I go for? I am 80kg/180cm or 175lbs/5'11" is 16oz okay?

u/justDoItAlreadyyyy · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

I don't know if they are the same, but I have a pair of these. They are OK starter gloves IMO. Upside: Cheap, and they work for bags and mitts if you are punching properly and not too hard. Downsides: They have little in the form of wrist support and are relatively compressed in the knuckle. I replaced them with these which have a double-wrap around the wrist for extra support.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I have the Regenesis in 14oz.

u/HedonisticFrog · 3 pointsr/amateur_boxing

These are what I use for bag and pad work. They absorb impacts very well and are holding up very well after three months and I hit hard at 230lb. The only sign of wear is the red rubbing off onto the white palm a little bit.

These are what I use for sparring. They were a little tight at first and hard to make a fist for the first couple of uses but they feel very comfortable now. They also show no signs of wear but they haven't been used as much. I also got them on sale for $50 so if you're patient you can wait until they go on sale again.

I'd recommend getting bag gloves and sparring gloves since the soft foam of sparring gloves will break down faster on a heavy bag and bag gloves are pretty hard for sparring.

u/artfuldodger8 · 1 pointr/Boxing

I don't think those will have enough padding for use on a heavy bag. The gloves that marcosro posted are a very good pair for the price. (Way better than similarly priced Everlast gloves.) If you only want to get one pair of gloves, I'd recommend getting a 16oz pair of those as an "all-purpose" glove that you can use for mitwork, bagwork, and sparring. (16oz may seem big, but you won't want to use any less than 16oz for sparring.)

Alternatively, you could get "heavy bag gloves", which are lighter and have denser padding, but these would only be good for bag work. They also have less protection, so I do not recommend them over the Title training gloves that marcosro posted.

Edit: here's a link to a good pair: http://www.amazon.com/Boxing-Leather-Training-Gloves-12-Ounce/dp/B002XUJ9X4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421341164&sr=8-1&keywords=title+leather+training+gloves

Try the Sanabul brand from Amazon. They're ~$25 and provide a lot of cushion. I needed something that would protect my hands and they have been excellent. They have excellent reviews too. I think these will hold up until you decided to take this seriously.

Actually local sports store usually carry the low-end style gloves. Everlast makes good gloves, but they're not the same ones you find in the store. If you want cheap and effective, I'd go with Title. I've got these and they've been good for me for the last half year.

Not sure what "troll fitness" is.. Stumbled across this post. But I've tried quite a few combinations, and these two together do the best job of anything I've found so far.

I'm using RDX Elite gloves:

Real leather. They feel great, and have held up. Really good for the price point in my opinion.

u/keepTHISondaDL · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

sup everybody. I start my first boxing lessons next friday.

So i need advice on two boxing gloves.

First are the Hayabusa Tokushu Regenesis Boxing Gloves: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PFIOGHK/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I128KUG5BFJDKV&colid=2GCMKUBNUJTKZ

Second are the TITLE INFUSED FOAM IGNITE CEL-TECH BAG GLOVES: https://www.titleboxing.com/gloves/boxing-bag-gloves/title-infused-foam-ignite-cel-tech-bag-gloves

I save a few bucks on the title gloves. I mainly will need them for mits and the heavy bag. I don't want to buy 2 pair of gloves out the gate, so i was wondering if either of these will give me that 2 for 1. Thanks guys!!

u/expectingrain · 1 pointr/Fitness

Jeez- you're not kidding. After lifting today I went over to the bags and hit one a few times, pretty softly. I still feel it in my knuckle. Any idea on what kind of gloves to get? Would these work? Also, it's an LA Fitness, so do you think they'd have a trainer who could show me how to throw a punch?

u/cbrndn90 · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

Hey everyone -- I picked up some sweet Hayabusa Tokushu Regeneses off Amazon (on sale from their usual $130) earlier this week. Pretty stoked. I did a lot of research beforehand and read a few reviews that stated cutting the thumb strap was preferable over leaving it in place. Wanted to test the waters and see if anyone else had these, and would recommend one way or the other?

u/Anthony_Grina · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

I'll be honest, I have had terrible experiences with everlast gloves. Over the past 10 years, I've gone through at least 8 different pairs. They fall apart very easily. I finally picked myself up some leather [Title Gloves]
(http://amzn.to/2q4BD6N) and they are much better. Check out RDX too.

u/WeldingHank · 1 pointr/Kickboxing

Do you have to have title gloves?

I own these for bag/mitt work and love them

u/TheSliceman · 1 pointr/TheRedPill

Okay, well first order of business is getting the bag up. Do that asap.

Gloves and wraps I would buy off amazon.

Gloves

Wraps

And wrap your hands Thai style, inbetween fingers.

u/helpmeboxinggloves · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

Help! Looking to buy a pair of gloves and I can't tell what's best for heavy bag at this price range -

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B006K3ZBCS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

I like having my fingers out, but the pairs without fingers seem a little more professional. What's the consensus for a 60~ dollar pair?

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/xxfitness

Just a local sporting goods store, but these are them on amazon. I forgot that only my thumbs came through, but I like them a lot. Most of the negative reviews are about the gloves being too small, but I'm small so I guess that's why I like them. There is just enough cushion to absorb the shock to my fist, but little enough that I feel I'm getting a lot from hitting the bag. They aren't quite as tight as I would like around the wrist, but it's hard to find anything that fits my tiny wrist/arms. There are some that the fingers go through that are slightly more expensive, but not by much, which are the kind I would like to have. I think they are supposed to be for heavy bag work, and not necessarily for training in boxing, as boxing gloves are used in training because you use them when you box someone, but I'm not any where close to being the kind of person that should give out any facts on boxing.

I have Everlast bag gloves, entry model, that I usually use for mitts and when traveling. You can orient the controllers however(ring up on thumb or down under pinky), I prefer this way for a realistic block and punch deflection. Just be sure to calibrate your gloves in game and you're good to go.

These are probably closest to my old school ones that Everlast makes now. www.amazon.com/dp/B000JF4HP0/ Title boxing still makes traditional leather ones if you're willing to pay a little more for the quality.

u/NoImNotYourDaddy · 2 pointsr/amateur_boxing

Are these gloves serviceable for use on a 70 lb bag? They came in the kit I bought. Ill be using it on my first bag and thought 70lb would be good to practice my form on and etc before moving on up heavier. If it matters I am 210lbs.

u/bizquisite · 1 pointr/MMA

I wonder, why wouldn't something similar in design to these work? That is, some sort of mitten construction to cover finger nails and prevent any one single digit (excluding the thumb) from stabbing into somebody's eyeball.

u/torpedo_lagoon · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

I am new to boxing and want to get my own gloves. I am unsure what to get. They will be used for heavy bag and pad work. I am considering Title Gel World Bag Gloves and Ring to Cage C17. Which should I get? (Other suggestions welcome)
