Training Boxing Gloves

In a sport where the primary aim is to knock your fellow opponent down to the mat, a lot of hard work, sweat and determination is required. Along with these characteristics, the proper equipment is equally important. For beginners of the sport, the proper choice of equipment is essential and rather of much importance as the proper equipment helps the amateur boxers properly harness his/her abilities and progress ahead in their careers.

It is not necessary for the amateur boxer to wear these training or bag gloves with wrapped hands but the recommendation is to use wrapped hands as that ensures protection as well as reduces or rather restricts movement of fingers independently and contribute towards a proper fist action. Besides being the primary equipment for combat training, these gloves offer protection against scuffs, scrapes and contusions alike. They also contribute to lessening the transfer of impacting force between the two objects in contact i.e. the boxers punch and the bag.

Bag gloves come in a wide range of shapes and sizes and differ primarily with the amount of padding used in them. Different gloves from 12 to 16 Oz are available worldwide. The choice of a more or less padded glove depends on the trainer under whose you are training. If they want the trainee to feel the heat and endure the hardships first hand of the sport, then they ask for the trainee to use less padded gloves so that he or she can really feel the impact of a punch. But this technique does have its short comings in that it is quite unforgiving. The other option is for the trainee to use more padded gloves but this deprives the trainee of understanding the real Impact of the punch.

Different companies offer these gloves worldwide with leading companies including Everest, ROOMAIF etc. ROOMAIF in particular offers quality export products used worldwide and has a very good reputation with providing quality and durable products.
