Punching gloves or batting gloves are a good training tool for practicing speed, accuracy and endurance. Nowadays, both punching and kicking gloves are used. When choosing punching gloves, it is worth considering what you want to practice and improve, for example speed or accuracy.
Dot gloves
Pitching gloves or pitching mitts are a good training tool for practicing hitting speed, accuracy and endurance.
Small round point gloves are intended for punches or light high kicks.
With longer gloves that go over your wrist, you can also practice kicks. Often, the gloves may be slightly curved, which helps you receive kicks better.
Thai pads are often larger than boxing gloves, but smaller than kick pads. They allow you to practice a wide range of punches and kicks. They often have sturdy handles that allow you to get a good, firm grip.
Different types of point gloves
When it comes to pistari, they come in many different shapes and it is often worth choosing the shape of the pistari according to your own preference and training needs. Pistari have a dot marked in the middle, as the name suggests. This makes it easier to hit the center. This type of pistari training is good for practicing accuracy and practicing new strokes. It is also important to move in a variety of ways when training pistari.
Some boxing gloves have a ridge inside the glove that helps you get a better grip on the glove. Often, boxing gloves are also slightly curved, which helps with receiving punches.
Which points should you choose?
If you plan to practice hitting and speed, you should choose slightly smaller point gloves, often called speedpads.
For practicing punch combinations and technique, basic point gloves that are slightly larger than speedpads are suitable, these can be slightly curved. Depending on the level of the trainer, it is also good that the point gloves protect the recipient's wrist, not all punches always hit 100% of the target :)
If you want to add kicks to your combinations, you should choose heavier boxing gloves or Thai pads.
Thai pads can be used to train a variety of punching and kicking sequences. Thai pads are larger and heavier than boxing gloves. Thai pads cannot be used like gloves, but typically have 2-3 handles that the recipient can use to get the strongest possible grip.
Things to consider when purchasing boxing gloves and Thai pads
When you are buying boxing gloves or Thai pads, it is important that they fit and sit well on your hand, so that they stay in place even during hard training. When buying Thai pads, it is good to check that the straps you are going to hold onto are of good quality and are sturdy, and that you can get a good grip from them.
Punching gloves and tachi pads come in a variety of thicknesses and materials, so it's a good idea to check that the shock absorption rating is appropriate for your training.
Typically, boxing gloves and Thai pads are filled with either foam, gel, or a combination of the two. The advantage of foam padding is that it is inexpensive and durable. Gloves filled with foam will last a long time in daily use. Gel-filled boxing gloves are a bit newer. These are not always available in all models or sizes. Gel-filled boxing gloves have slightly better shock absorption. Unfortunately, their lifespan is not as long.
