Why choose boxing?
Boxing is an intense martial art that combines strength, speed, endurance, coordination and strategic thinking. It is suitable for people who want to develop physical fitness, self-defense skills and mental edge, while providing an effective stress reliever.
Boxing training strengthens the whole body, improves cardiovascular health, increases muscle strength and endurance, and develops reflexes and mobility. This versatile sport offers challenges and development opportunities for both beginners and more experienced athletes.
What kind of gloves should I choose?
When starting a boxing hobby, purchasing your own gloves quickly comes to mind. First-timers can try gloves at boxing gyms, but for reasons of ergonomics and hygiene, own gloves are always the best solution for those who continue the hobby. The right kind of gloves make exercise both comfortable and safe. The use of the wrong gloves can cause problems in hitting technique, and as a result, puts the hands in the wrong way. For a beginner boxer, choosing gloves can seem challenging at first - where should you start?
The choice of boxing gloves is influenced by the purpose of use (competition, sparring, bag training), size and fit, material (leather or artificial leather) and the weight of the gloves, which is determined by the user's weight and training intensity.
Purpose of use
When choosing gloves, you should start from the intended purpose. Think about where you are going to use the gloves, for what purpose and how often? Boxing gloves are roughly divided into sack gloves, sparring gloves and match gloves. But what is the difference between them?
As the name suggests, a punching glove is used for punching a punching bag. The design of the glove is designed to repel shocks and reduce the vibration caused by hitting a tight sack. Sparraushanska is designed for training with a training partner, i.e. match training. The sparring glove has plenty of padding so that punches do not damage the training partner or the boxer's own hands. Competition gloves, or match gloves, are the lightest in structure, so that they do not slow down the movements of the competitor. However, the protection of the hands in professional racing gloves is not optimal, and therefore they should not be used for training.
Size and weight
Boxing glove size is defined by their weight: the heavier the glove, the more padding. A heavier boxing glove means more protection for the hand, but also slower punches and more strain on the muscles. In technique training, lighter gloves can be used, so that the hands do not tire as quickly. Beginners should choose more protective (heavier) boxing gloves, and switch to lighter ones as the technique develops.
Material
Leather is always a safe choice for fighting equipment, but nowadays really good synthetic materials are also made, which last a long time and are more affordable than leather gloves. Of course, synthetic gloves are also suitable for those looking for a vegan product.
Fastening
As a rule, professional boxing gloves have a strap fastening. The straps provide a better fit and wrist support, but require someone to tie and untie the straps each time for the boxer. For this reason, amateur-level boxing gloves most commonly have a Velcro fastener. The Velcro strap is easy and quick to tighten yourself, offers almost as good wrist support, and is therefore an unbeatable choice for all enthusiasts.
