Frequently Asked Questions

Orders received and paid for are normally packed and shipped within one business day. Our couriers generally collect our packages around 3:00 PM. We strive to process all orders immediately upon receipt, but are subject to order volume and store availability.

After packing, we transfer responsibility to UPS and DPD (our regular courier services) to maintain their fast delivery schedule. We strive for fast delivery together with UPS and DPD.

The courier will normally deliver the package to you one to two business days after dispatch (i.e., collection from us).

You will receive a tracking email keeping you continuously updated on your package's status.

No.   

Orders received after Friday afternoon - approximately 3:00 PM, after our couriers have picked up the orders - will be collected on Monday. We will pack them, so you will receive a track and trace code immediately.

Always check first that the money has been debited from your account.

Check that your order confirmation hasn't ended up in your spam folder.

Contact us via our contact form so we can check if something went wrong.

As soon as we start packing your package, you'll receive a tracking email with a track & trace code (if you haven't received one, please check your spam folder). This tracking will be activated late in the evening or at night, once the package has been scanned at the DPD or UPS depot.

Did the track & trace show your package was delivered, but you didn't receive it? Don't worry, your package is usually still on its way to you. Check what you can do if your package appears to have been delivered:

Is your package in your mailbox?
Check your (external) mailbox. Even if the track & trace doesn't show this, there's a chance your package was delivered there.

Ask your neighbors
Ask your neighbors if they received your package. Your package could have been delivered to a neighbor, even if you can't see this online.

Check the tracking code (and your email) to see if it went to a collection point.
If you weren't home, the package will usually be sent to a collection point. It will stay there for a few days before being returned to us. So be sure to pick it up in time.

Still haven't received anything?
Was your package not delivered to your mailbox, a collection point, or your neighbors? We recommend waiting another 48 hours (it might still be delivered). If you haven't received your order after 48 hours, please contact us and we will check where the package was delivered.

In this case, you can contact us via the contact form on our website. We can then check where your package is at that moment. 

If necessary, we will initiate an investigation with the courier service. This can only be done after 72 hours, and requires a form declaring that you did not receive the package. Please note: this is legally binding and must be completed truthfully. The courier services will request GPS data from the couriers on duty.

The seller is responsible for correct shipping.

If the customer changes or has the address changed after the seller(company) has shipped the package, the customer is responsible.

This only applies if the package is returned to the sender; if a package is lost, the seller is still responsible.

- Underwear & sports bras
- B-choice products & final sale
- Exclusive products from Di Nardo & Winning - these are sold exclusively under physical store terms and conditions (no Distance Selling Act or cooling-off period).

Upon arrival at our warehouse, we inspect all returns. If we determine that a product has been used, damaged, washed, has missing labels, or is missing packaging, we will not accept the return.

We will return the product at the customer's expense (€20 for return shipping and the cost of the return label) plus €25 for repackaging and administration (totaling €45), as the customer is liable for any unacceptable returns. We will create a payment link for this, which must be paid within 8 days.

Yes.

When returning a product that is part of a set, your previously received discount will be deducted. Because the product is missing from the set, the set is no longer complete. This means the discount is voided because the purchase of the set is cancelled. We will therefore deduct the set discount from the returned product.

If you return this and want a different size (for example, because you need a different size), no discount will be deducted. This is only possible if you order the correct (different) size before returning.

B-CHOICE products have manufacturing defects and are therefore sold at a significant discount. This is stated in the product description.

B-CHOICE products are non-returnable.

You may only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether you wish to keep it. Consider the same options available in a physical store. You cannot hold a sparring session in a physical store. A good example is shadow boxing with the new boxing gloves, which is also possible in a physical store,  you don't have to attend the training session to try out the products there.

Our inventory on the website matches that in our store and is also accurate in real time. This inventory is accurate 99% of the time. If a product is sold out, you can leave your email address for a back-in-stock notification.

If it's one of the last in stock and you're traveling far, it's best to call or email us.

If you want to order something and it's out of stock, you can select the correct size for the desired product.

After doing this, you can enter your email address. When this product is back in stock, you'll receive an email notification immediately. You can then order and pay for it right away! Please note: not everything will be back in stock (in the short term).

No.

We don't accept reservations. You can always pay for the product and choose to pick it up. This guarantees that no one else can buy it in the meantime.

No.

If the product is in stock, you can order (and pay for) it and choose pickup. As soon as we have it ready (as soon as possible, depending on how busy our store is), you'll receive an email letting you know it's ready for pickup. Our opening hours are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Yes.

Most boxing gloves come with a 6-month warranty. This covers manufacturing defects, material tears, and closure failure with proper use. Please note: manufacturing defects occur almost immediately or after short periods of use, not after extended periods.

Excluded from the warranty are normal signs of wear and tear, such as:

• paint peeling off the glove
• print peeling off
• abrasion
• discoloration
• worn-out Velcro
• softer padding due to use
• incorrect use (sparring gloves on a punching bag, doing push-ups etc.)

Yes.

Pushing up with boxing gloves thins the padding and shortens its lifespan. This is due to the strain and flattening of the padding.

Therefore, it's not advisable to keep your gloves on during training and warm-up for exercises like lie-flat grips and push-ups.

After intensive use, shin guards last approximately one to one and a half years. After that, most shin guards need replacing.

The lifespan naturally depends on several factors: maintenance, the quality of the materials used, and the type of training. Cheaper shin guards won't last this long.

Punching bag training shortens the lifespan of shin guards by an average of six months.

Cracks in leather boxing shoes can occur due to dehydration or excessive stress during boxing. To prevent and repair this, it's important to regularly nourish the leather with leather grease and clean the shoes with a damp cloth or a special leather cleaner.

Causes of cracks:

• Dehydration: Leather can dry out due to a lack of moisture, especially if the shoes are frequently exposed to sunlight or dry air.
• Overuse: Boxing can put excessive strain on the shoes, causing the leather to crack or split.
• Poor care: Inadequate cleaning and conditioning of the leather can lead to dehydration and weakening, leading to cracks.

Preventing cracks:

• Regular cleaning and conditioning: Use a damp cloth to remove dirt and then treat the leather with a special leather cream or leather grease. This keeps the leather supple and prevents it from drying out.
• Avoid extreme temperatures: Do not expose the boxing gloves to direct sunlight or extreme cold, as this can dry out the leather.

Repairing cracks:

• Cleaning: Clean the boxing gloves with a damp cloth or a special leather cleaner to remove dirt and dust.
• Leather grease or cream: Apply a thin layer of leather grease or cream to the cracks and gently massage it into the leather.
• Glue if necessary: For deeper tears, it may be necessary to glue the leather. Use a special leather glue for this. Note that in that case, it's actually better to simply replace your boxing gloves.

Also read our blogs: How to care for your boxing gloves and What are good boxing gloves?

Yes.

Of course, you can use boxing gloves on the bag, but regular boxing gloves aren't designed for use on a punching bag; special punching bag gloves are designed for this purpose.

Bag gloves or boxing gloves for the punching bag?

Most of our customers don't actually want to buy more than one pair of boxing gloves, although that's usually the best choice. If you regularly train on a punching bag, it's definitely wiser to buy separate bag gloves for that purpose. Both pairs will also last much longer.

You can, of course, train with regular (sparring) boxing gloves on a bag, but keep in mind that they're not really designed for that. The padding of sparring gloves is much softer to ensure safety when training with a partner and during sparring. If you then abuse that padding on a punching bag, they quickly lose the protection they were designed and built for.

No.

There aren't really any women's boxing gloves. Boxing gloves are unisex, but women usually just choose a slightly lighter glove (read: smaller size). These are available in various color combinations.

Women generally have narrower hands than men, so it's best not to choose a boxing glove that's too heavy. We have, however, made a separate selection within our range of boxing gloves that are more suitable for women due to their fit.

View our selection of women's boxing gloves.

These "gloves" are also listed on our site as bag gloves. These bag gloves are specially developed for punching bags. Regular boxing gloves are less suitable for punching bag training due to their softer padding.

Yes.

These boxing gloves are made of 100% genuine cowhide leather.

Oz stands for ounce. An ounce (abbreviated as oz) is a unit of weight commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries that use this system. One ounce is approximately equal to 28.35 grams.

For boxing gloves (and MMA gloves), this refers to the weight (size) of the gloves:

Yes.

Just like our own skin, you need to care for leather products regularly to prevent them from drying out.

It's best to lightly lubricate your leather product, such as boxing gloves, with leather grease or Vaseline every so often.

Read more about this in our blog: How to care for your boxing gloves

When people talk about "padding" in boxing gloves, they're referring to the padding or cushioning material inside the glove.

It's essential for both the wearer and the opponent that the gloves are of good quality.

The amount and quality of the padding determine the level of shock absorption and protection the glove provides.

No.

That's absolutely not strange! At Fight2Win.nl, we believe that (especially) as a beginner, you need good equipment. Why shortchange yourself?

More expensive (often better) boxing gloves are especially helpful if your technique isn't quite perfect yet, or if you have certain injuries.

If you choose a (combat) sport, you can safely choose the best equipment you can afford.

Of course, you still have to put in the work yourself!

This is no longer always the case, as synthetic materials (PU, Vylar, microfiber) are now available that are superior to genuine leather.

There are also significant quality differences between different types of leather. This depends on the manufacturer (price range) and the animal from which it comes.

No.

There's really no difference.

There are brands that focus more on boxing, and others that focus more on kickboxing and Thai boxing.

There are some minor differences, but in practice, you can use boxing gloves for kickboxing and kickboxing gloves for boxing.

Also read our blog: The difference between boxing gloves and kickboxing gloves

The word "best" is, of course, very difficult to pin down to a single model, although brands are more than happy to do so. There are many, if the manufacturers are to be believed, the best boxing gloves in the world.

We sell a huge number of boxing glove models that we endorse, and have been doing so for over 20 years. Based on our experience, we've compiled the list below.

The best boxing gloves in our extensive range:

• Winning MS300/400/500/600

Children usually train with boxing gloves weighing 6 oz, 8 oz, or 10 oz. Very occasionally, very young children even use 2 oz or 4 oz.

Below are general guidelines. For every brand and model:

Choose by age:

• Up to 3-4 years - 2 oz
• Up to 4-5 years - 4 oz
• Up to 6-8 years - 6 oz
• Up to 9-11 years - 8 oz
• From 12 years - 10 oz

Choose by body weight:

• Up to 35 kg - 6 oz
• 35–45 kg - 8 oz
• 45–55 kg - 10 oz

We've also created unique size charts for this. You can use both age and weight charts. If in doubt, we recommend using weight rather than age.

The rule of thumb is: "The heavier the child, the heavier the glove." A heavier boxing glove generally has more padding and is therefore safer for the hands and the training partner. Trainers generally prefer heavier boxing gloves over lighter ones.

There's no specific minimum age requirement. The lowest possible age is 4 years old, but many gyms have a minimum age of 7 or 8 years old. Please check with the gym you plan to take your child to.

Yes.

Boxing gloves are definitely safe for children. there are, of course, several important factors to consider. These include the length and width of the hand compartment and the wrist closure. if these fit snugly without pinching, they are safe to use.

The brands we recommend for children are XPRT Fight Gear, Booster, Twins, and King. These brands all offer different models and fits for children, providing plenty of choices.

Ofcourse, we also have various materials in our assortment, such as leather and synthetic leather. These brands have consistently been the top-rated brands in our children's range.

Read more about this in our blog: What type and size of boxing gloves for children

Yes.

The child can certainly use the boxing gloves for multiple sports. Sports like kickboxing naturally use boxing gloves, but a completely different self-defense sport like Krav Maga also uses boxing gloves.

This doesn't apply to all martial arts, of course, so we recommend checking with the gym you plan to send your child to.

Wearing inner gloves is recommended for young children who sweat a lot. Sweat will then collect in the inner gloves, which you can then wash. This keeps the gloves fresher longer.

We recommend wearing handwraps for older children. These provide more support and protection. The trainer decides how and what to use.

Yes.

We definitely have these. We have kickboxing shorts for children weighing approximately 20 kilos and up. You can also wear these if your child is slightly lighter by tightening the drawstrings in the waistband.

Boxing hand wraps come in two most common standard lengths: 2.5 meters (100") and 4.5 meters (180").

2.5-meter boxing hand wraps are ideal for children and women with smaller hands.

A 4.5-meter boxing hand wrap is recommended for adults and larger children. Of course, adult men and women can also choose to use shorter hand wraps.

Children/Women - handwraps 250 cm (100")
Women/Men - handwraps 450 cm (180")

When boxing and kickboxing, training on a punching bag, kicking pads, or kicking, your hands and wrists take a beating.

Inner gloves and hand wraps provide extra protection for your hands, knuckles, and wrists.

As an added benefit, they extend the lifespan of your boxing gloves by absorbing sweat.

You can find more information about this in the handwraps collection.

We've also written several blog posts about using inner gloves, gel wraps, and/or hand wraps: Putting on hand wraps

There are many different ways and variations to put on short or long boxing handwraps. As you use them more often, you will develop your own preference and one person will wrap more around the wrists, while another will wrap more around the knuckles of the fists.

More about hand wraps and inner gloves:

We have posted a number of interesting blog posts on our website about the use and benefits of handwraps: "How to Put on handwraps "

The best way to wash hanwraps is to machine wash them in a laundry bag or bra net at 30°C or lower. Hand washing is even better.

It's important to fasten the Velcro before washing to prevent it from tangling to other clothing or to each other. Let the handwraps air dry naturally after washing. Do not put them in the dryer, as this can cause them to shrink and wrinkle unnecessarily.

• Partially roll up the handwraps and place them in a laundry bag or bra net.
• Machine wash the handwraps at a maximum temperature of 30°C or by hand washing.
• Let the bandages air dry, preferably by hanging them out for a long time.
• Do not put the handwraps in the dryer.

Additional tips:

• Wash the bandages regularly (after every workout) to keep them hygienically clean and fresh.
• You can use a mild detergent, but rinse the bandages thoroughly to avoid soap residue.
• Allow the handwraps to dry completely after washing before using them again.

Yes.

Nearly all handwraps in our range are (slightly) stretchy. This is necessary to ensure the handwraps fit snugly around your hands.

We have a number of non-stretch boxing handwraps in our range. These are really only suitable for very experienced (kick)boxers or should be applied by a specialist.

100% cotton handwraps generally have virtually no stretch, which is why almost all "regular" handwraps are a blend of polyester-cotton, nylon-cotton, or polyviscose.

Polycotton is a fabric composed of a blend of cotton and polyester fibers. The fiber ratio can vary, but 80% polyester and 20% cotton are often used for hand wraps. For our karate and taekwondo uniforms, the ratio is usually 65% polyester and 35% cotton.

Polycotton combines the advantages of both materials: the breathability of cotton and the durability and quick-drying properties of polyester.

Why is polycotton used?

• More durable: polyester makes the fabric stronger and more durable than pure cotton.
• Wrinkle-resistant: polycotton is much less prone to wrinkling than 100% cotton. This is especially beneficial for martial arts uniforms, as it requires less ironing.
• Quick-drying: polyester fibers dry faster than cotton, which is advantageous for sportswear and sports equipment.
• Economical: polycotton is less expensive than 100% cotton.
• Versatile: Polycotton is suitable for various applications, such as clothing and bandages.
• More elastic: Bandages are more comfortable with a little stretch. 100% cotton has no stretch at all.

Rayon is a fiber that is considered both a man-made and a semi-synthetic fiber. It is made from cellulose, a natural material extracted from wood pulp (usually eucalyptus trees or bamboo) or other plant sources.

Rayon is known for its softness, flow, and ability to retain color well, and is used in luxury clothing and other textiles.

More details:

• Synthetic or Semi-synthetic? Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber because it is made from a natural raw material (cellulose) that is chemically treated.
• Properties: Rayon has a silky texture, is soft and comfortable to wear, and absorbs moisture well.
• Uses: It is used in luxury clothing, such as blouses and shirts, as well as in materials like boxing hand wraps.
• Sustainability: Several types of rayon, such as lyocell and tencel, are considered sustainable options.

Polyviscose is a fabric made by blending polyester and viscose. This combination results in a fabric that combines the advantages of both materials: it is wrinkle-resistant, colorfast, and breathable. These are excellent properties for use in things like boxing hand wraps.

Why is polyester blended with viscose?

• Wrinkle-resistant and colorfast: Polyester is wrinkle-resistant and colorfast, while viscose isn't always. Blending them creates a fabric that wrinkles less easily and retains its color longer.
• Breathability: Viscose is a breathable fabric, meaning it absorbs and wicks away moisture well. Polyester is less breathable. Adding viscose makes polyviscose more breathable and comfortable than 100% polyester.
• Durability: Polyester is a strong and durable fiber, while viscose feels softer and more comfortable. This combination creates a fabric that is both strong and comfortable.
• Versatility: Polyviscose can be used in various materials, such as bandages for boxing and kickboxing.

Here's how we rate all the hand wraps in our range: quality, comfort & ease of use, and price:

You need to adjust a mouthguard before using it for the first time. This is usually done by placing it in a container of hot water for about 40 seconds. This depends on the brand and type, so it's always advisable to read the instructions carefully.

This only needs to be done the first time to get the mouthguard to conform to the shape of your teeth. You can do it more often, but it's best to get it right the first time. So take your time and concentrate!

We've written a separate blog post: How to make a custom mouthguard for your teeth.

It's best to clean your mouthguard after each use. Rinse it with running water, at the very least.

This removes bacteria that can grow and spread in your mouthguard.

The best steps to keep your mouthguard clean:

1. Rinse:
Rinse your mouthguard under lukewarm water immediately after use to remove food particles and saliva.

2. Clean:
Use a soft toothbrush and a special mouthguard cleaner to clean the mouthguard.

3. Rinse thoroughly:
After cleaning, rinse the mouthguard thoroughly under running water to remove all residue.

4. Dry:
Allow the mouthguard to air dry completely. It's best to do this in a clean, ventilated, antimicrobial protective case designed specifically for this purpose.

5. Storage:
Store the dry mouthguard in its designated antimicrobial storage case to keep it clean and hygienically fresh until your next training session.

The function of a mouthguard, also known as a dental protector, is often underestimated. You probably know that a mouthguard protects your teeth, but did you also know that it can help prevent brain injuries, for example?

A good mouthguard provides:

1. protection of your teeth and gums
2. prevention of damage to the jaw and inside of the mouth
3. contribution to protection against concussions

Read more about mouthguards in our blogs:

• Why is wearing a mouthguard important?
• What types of mouthguards are there?
• How to make a custom-fit mouthguard for your teeth

Yes.

In fact, it's even more recommended to protect your teeth, mouth, and even your (expensive) braces. However, you can't use a "regular" mouthguard for this.

For braces wearers, there are special mouthguards made of materials better suited for use with braces. This material is usually medical-grade, which explains the often somewhat higher price of these special mouthguards.

Mouthguards usually come in two sizes:

• Youth (up to approximately 11 years old)
  Adult (from 12 years old)

Some brands label the box for up to 10 years, others for 11 years, and still others for 12 years. This is because there's no hard dividing line.

Some mouthguards are one-size-fits-all. This is usually the case with braces, and in that case, the mouthguard is suitable for all ages.

Yes.

This mouthguard comes standard with a storage box.

No.

These mouthguards are safely produced and completely free from: BPA, Latex and Phthalates.

In one word: hygiene for a product you put in your mouth.

Benefits of the special antimicrobial storage case:

• Safe and hygienic storage of your mouthguard
• Inhibits the growth of bacteria
• Suitable for all brands and sizes of mouthguards
• Better build quality than standard storage cases

In one word: hygiene for a product you put in your mouth.

Benefits of disinfectant spray for mouthguards:

• Healthier and more hygienic
• Kills 99.99% of all bacteria
• Proven effective against Salmonella, E. coli, and MRSA, among others
• Always a fresh mouthguard
• Longer mouthguard lifespan
• Delightful mint scent and flavor
• Good for approximately 150 uses

Yes.

This mouthguard is specially designed for braces wearers.

A mouthguard in martial arts like boxing, kickboxing, and Krav Maga is usually only used for the upper row of teeth, because the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth (in most people).

This means that an upper mouthguard also indirectly protects the lower jaw and the teeth within it.

For maximum protection, you can choose a double mouthguard. These offer maximum protection for both the upper and lower rows of teeth and both jaws. However, the disadvantage of a double mouthguard is that it significantly restricts your breathing.

Also read our blogs: What types of mouthguards are there?, Why is wearing a mouthguard important?, and How to make a custom mouthguard for your teeth.

More protection & safety.

A double mouthguard protects both the upper and lower teeth. They are especially suitable for people who need extra protection or for those participating in high-impact contact sports.

The only (and major) disadvantage of a double mouthguard is that breathing is much more difficult. This is why you rarely see professional fighters wearing a double mouthguard during matches.

Yes.

This is possible if you bruise easily or experience pain in your shins.

Using shin guards over the bag will cause scuff marks (stains and smudges) on the shin guards.

Shin guards usually come in "normal" sizes, from XS to XL.

Each brand and model of shin guard has a unique size chart (in the size selection and at the bottom of the contents section). This chart provides the best possible guideline for what we think is the best choice for that specific model.

In borderline cases or when in doubt, we recommend choosing a smaller shin guard, unless you have particularly large lower legs.

We also wrote a blog post: Which size kickboxing shin guards should I choose?

These tips are best used to make the right choice! This is also explained in more detail in the shin guards category.

No.

This is strongly discouraged. It's best to clean them with a cloth and, if necessary, use a conditioning spray to keep them fresh.

A shinguard must fit properly around the shin to provide the most effective protection and mobility. A shinguard consists of a foot guard and a shin guard. The shinguard should start just above the ankle and end just below the knee. Ideally, the top strap of the closure should be positioned on the calf, as it can cause irritation or pain if it falls into the back of the knee.

Ideally, a shin guard should extend just below your knee.

However, we believe it's just as important that the shin guard doesn't fit too loosely around your legs. So even if it doesn't quite reach your knee, but it still fits well, we consider that more important (read: better) than going up a size.

A shin guard that's too big is a hindrance and is more likely to slide around, which is very annoying during training.

The instep should at least cover the top of your foot, but some brands extend it all the way across your foot. This isn't necessary, so if your toes stick out—as is the case with many brands like Twins—that's perfectly fine. After all, you shouldn't kick with your toes.

A shin guard for kickboxing should fit snugly around your shin, from just below your knee to above your ankle, and shouldn't be too loose or too tight. It should completely cover your shin for optimal protection, but shouldn't restrict your movement. How the shin guard should fit.

We've created a unique sizing chart for each shin guard brand and model. Please consult this chart and, if in doubt, choose a smaller size rather than a larger one.

A hook and loop closure is used on various products in our range, such as hand pads, belly armor, head guards, and shin guards.

This type of closure is most common on shin guards. Hook and loop means pulling a strap through a buckle or loop, then pulling it back and tightening it.

Key benefits:

• Adjustable fit: Hook and loop closures with a hook and loop system provide a precise fit, accommodate various calf sizes, and ensure the shin guard stays securely in place during movement.
• Ease of use: These closures are easy to tighten, making them convenient for quick adjustments, especially during training.
• Secure closure: When properly applied, hook and loop closures can provide a secure and reliable fit, preventing the shin guards from shifting or slipping during exercise.
• Durability: High-quality hook-and-loop closures, such as those found on the Twins SGL7 shin guards, are often multi-stitched for added durability and can withstand frequent use.

No.

There aren't really any shin guards specifically for women or men. Shin guards are unisex, but women usually choose a slightly smaller size. These are available in various color combinations.

Women are generally shorter than men, so it's obvious they also need a smaller (and shorter) shin guard.

Martial arts like karate, taekwondo, boxing, kickboxing, and MMA all have some form of contact with the head of the practicioners. Wearing a good head guard in these martial arts is essential for the safety of the practitioner.

We want to emphasize that a good head guard not only provides good protection but also stays in place and doesn't hinder movement!

Head guard functions:

• Protection against head injuries
• Eye protection
• Increased self-confidence
• Training without restraint
• Contributes to a safety culture (awareness of important protective equipment)

Read more about this in our blog: Why a head protector is so important in martial arts

Head protectors usually come in "normal" sizes, from XS to XL. This usually depends on your head circumference.

Each brand and model of head protector has a unique sizing chart (in the size selection and at the bottom of the contents section). This chart provides the best possible guideline for what we think is the best choice for that specific model.

In borderline cases or when in doubt, we recommend choosing a larger size head protector; a head protector that is too small will be very uncomfortable. However, don't oversize the protector, as you don't want it to slide around.

These tips are best used to make the right choice! This is also explained in more detail in the head protectors category.

A head guard in combat sports like boxing often has an open chin to improve the fighter's comfort and agility.

This design allows fighters to see all incoming punches, especially hooks and uppercuts, without being obstructed by thick padding.

The open view also allows for better head movement and countering capabilities during sparring sessions and training.

Some key benefits of open chin head protection:

• Improved visibility: An open face contributes to a wider and better field of vision, which is crucial for anticipating punches and reacting quickly, especially during training or sparring.
• Improved agility: The reduced amount of padding around the chin and cheeks allows for smoother head movement, allowing fighters to dodge punches more effectively.
• Focus on countering: By maintaining a clear view of the opponent, fighters can better anticipate and counter their attacks.
• Less restriction: Open-faced headguards are generally preferred due to their increased comfort and breathability during intense training sessions.

Note:

While open-faced headguards prioritize vision and dexterity, they naturally offer less protection for the face, particularly the chin and nose, compared to headgear with a face bar or cheek guard.

However, the open design is often preferred because it allows fighters to spar and train without feeling too restricted in their movement. Many fighters aren't fans of too much bulky protection anyway.

Also read our blog: Why head protection is so important in martial arts

Headguards with a closed chin and cheekbone protector offer (after headguards with a face bar) maximum protection by covering the entire face, including the chin, cheeks, and forehead.

This headguard design minimizes the risk of cuts, bruises, and swelling from impacts, especially to the chin, eyes, and cheeks.

While open headguards prioritize visibility, closed chin headguards prioritize injury prevention, especially during intense and hard training or sparring sessions.

Benefits of closed chin headguards:

• Comprehensive protection: A headguard with a closed chin and cheekbone protector offers comprehensive protection against punches and kicks, including those aimed at the chin, jaw, and cheeks.
• Injury prevention: By covering the chin, these headguards help prevent injuries such as cuts, swelling, and potential concussions from impacts.
• Suitable for intense training: This type of headguard is especially popular during intense sparring or training sessions.
• Visibility trade-off: While closed chin guards can somewhat restrict overall visibility compared to open-face designs, they offer a good balance between protection and visibility for many fighters.

Types of head protection:

There are several types of head protection, including full-face, open-face, closed-face, and full-face guards with a face bar.

No.

The brands that use these classic closures know:

• First, that this is the most secure way to fasten a guard.
• Second, they conceal it properly so it can't harm the fighter in any way.

This depends on how often you train with it and how well you care for it.

As a rule, a head guard can last at least one to two years before it needs replacing. If you keep it clean, it will stay fresh and can last much longer! By then, the guard will have already helped and saved you many times!

Top-quality head guards like those from Winning can last for years before showing any signs of wear.

Yes.

You can use the same head guard for boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and even MMA.

Both are available with open chin, closed chin, cheekbone guards, and face-bar protection. The choice is a personal one.

This depends on the rules of your gym, sport, or competition/tournament you participate in.

In many training environments (such as a gym or club), head protection is optional. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly mandatory for safety reasons and insurance company requirements.

Competitions and combat sports where head protection is mandatory:

• WT Taekwondo (youth and adults)
• ITF Taekwon-do (youth and adults)
• Amateur boxing (youth and adults)
• Kickboxing (youth up to 17 years old)
• Karate (youth up to 13 years old)
• Amateur Sanda/Sanshou (youth and adults)

We usually do two things in our showroom:

• Rapidly shake your head back and forth.
• Tap all sides of the head guard. Preferably with a sliding and pushing motion to create friction.

If the head guard doesn't shift or barely shifts without pinching, you have the right size!

Yes.

You can absolutely come and try on headguards and buy them right away. That way, you can be 100% sure you'll leave the showroom with the right headguard for boxing, kickboxing, or any other martial art! We have the same inventory in our physical showroom as in our online store.

When choosing your groin protector size, it's primarily about the waist size, not the cup size itself. We've included a size chart for each groin protector (in the size selection section and below the product information) for that specific brand and model.

Yes and no.

This depends on the make and model. The cup (the hard part) is almost never washable and rarely necessary. Most regular groin guards are tucked into a jockstrap. You can then remove the cup and wash the jockstrap.

The larger kidney and groin guards (No-Foul) intended for boxing are obviously not machine washable. This isn't really necessary either. You can simply wipe them down and dry them to keep them fresh.

You also can't wash the steel groin guards, of course. The metal isn't resistant to this.

A "normal" groinguard protects only the groin, while a groinguard for boxing protects the kidneys, liver, and groin. Boxing is much more susceptible to hits to the liver or kidneys than in kickboxing, so extra protection is provided to minimize the risk of injury and damage.

Yes, usually.

A groin guard is often mandatory or recommended. For example, it's recommended for boxing, kickboxing, and karate training. It's also mandatory for krav maga and self-defense systems. The area the groin guard protects is, of course, very susceptible to injury.

For exams and competitions, a groin guard is always mandatory for both men and women.

Neoprene is a synthetic rubber material.

It's widely used because it's versatile, safe, and durable. Neoprene was initially developed to replace rubber and therefore offers the same positive properties: flexibility and strength at the same time.

Neoprene is used in many products, such as gaskets, wetsuits, and laptop cases. In martial arts, it's used in knuckle guards, gel wraps, elbow pads, and knee pads, among other things.

Foot protectors, also called safety kicks, are used in ITF Taekwon-do, WAKO Kickboxing, All-Style Karate and semi-contact competitions.

A reflex ball, also called a boxing reflex ball, is a small, soft ball attached to an elastic band. You wear the band around your head and hit the ball. The elastic band allows the ball to bounce back, allowing you to train your reaction time and hand-eye coordination.

How to use a reflex ball:

• Attach the band: Place the band of the reflex ball around your head, just like a headband.
• Practice hitting: Hit the ball with your fist, trying to hit it as many times as possible in a row.
• Variety: Try different strikes (direct punches, angles) and adjust your movements as you improve. You can also try moving while hitting, just like in a fight.

Why use a reflex ball?

• Improves reflexes: It helps you react more quickly to movements.
• Hand-eye coordination: You learn to time your strikes and coordinate them with the movement of the ball.
• Coordination: You train your body to move more precisely and efficiently.
• Fun training: It's a fun and challenging way to improve your martial arts and boxing skills.

With a kettlebell, you can perform a huge variety of sports exercises, allowing you to train both strength and endurance.

Kettlebell exercises are dynamic and often target multiple functional muscle groups simultaneously, making them effective for a full-body workout.

Examples of strength exercises:

• Deadlifts: legs, hips, and lower back.
• Squats: strength and stability of the legs, glutes, and core.
• Shoulder Press: for strong shoulders and arms while keeping the core active.
• Lunges: legs, glutes, and core, and improve balance and coordination.
• Chest Press: pecs, shoulders, and triceps.
• Rows: back muscles and biceps.

Examples of endurance and functional exercises:

• Swings: A dynamic exercise that trains the glutes, hamstrings, back, and core.
• Cleans: A complex movement that requires strength, explosiveness, and coordination.
• Snatches: A fast and powerful movement that trains the entire body.
• Turkish Get-Ups: Complex exercises that improve strength, mobility, and core stability.

Training with wrist weights or small dumbbells (up to 2 kg) in boxing can offer several benefits, such as increased workout intensity, increased muscle strength and endurance, and increased calorie burn.

However, it's important to do this carefully and build up your workout to prevent injuries.

Benefits of training with wrist weights in boxing:

• Increased intensity: Wrist weights add extra resistance to your movements, which simply forces your muscles to work harder, automatically making your workout more intense.
• Improved muscle strength and endurance: The added resistance will help your muscles become stronger and last longer during regular workouts.
  Increased calorie burn: The extra weight ensures you burn more calories in the same workout.
• Improved coordination and balance: Wrist weights can help refine your movements and improve your motor skills, coordination, and balance. These are essential for boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and virtually all standing combat sports.
• Increased explosiveness: While it's important to avoid heavy weights, wrist weights or small dumbbells can contribute to faster and more powerful punches.
• More effective training: Wrist weights can help you train specific muscle groups, such as the shoulders and arms, more effectively. This is obviously beneficial in boxing or any other martial art that involves punching.

The difference lies in the weight (oz) of the MMA gloves. A 4 oz glove is, as expected, lighter than a 7 oz glove.

The 7 oz gloves are more suitable (read: safer) for regular training. This is due to the thicker padding on the striking surface.

The 4 oz MMA gloves, on the other hand, are often considered competition gloves.

Of course, both 4 oz and 7 oz gloves can also be used as "training" MMA gloves.

Besides the difference in weight (4 oz or 7 oz), MMA glove sizes are also expressed in S through XL.

These are almost always adult sizes, so most women will fit an S or M, and most men—depending on their hand size—will fit an M, L, or XL.

Depending on your age and hand circumference, you'll need to choose the size that best suits your hands. For personalized advice, it's best to visit our store and try on the gloves.

Each brand and model of MMA glove on our website has a unique size chart (in the size selection and at the bottom of the table). This chart provides the best possible guideline for what we think is the best choice for that specific model.

Yes.

Of course, the open gloves are also ideal for intensive punching bag training.

Thanks to the thick padding, your hands are well protected. The loose fingers allow for flexibility and allow you to easily interrupt your workout to do push-ups or grab a drink, for example.

Yes.

MMA gloves are ideal for Krav Maga.

This is because they offer protection with minimal obstruction. They're also easy to grip and grab, making them ideal for realistic training.

At the renowned ONE Championship, Muay Thai fighters wear smaller 4 oz (118 grams) MMA gloves instead of regular, larger boxing gloves.

This is primarily to increase the overall pace of the fight and force more knockouts.

This decision by the organization is intended to encourage more offensive strategies and dynamic movement. The smaller gloves make it harder for fighters to rely on defensive blocking and clinching.

4 oz Choice at Muay Thai - One Championship:

• More KOs: Smaller gloves concentrate the impact of a punch on a much smaller area, increasing the chance of knockouts.
• Faster Tempo: The smaller size of MMA gloves makes blocking less effective, forcing fighters to rely more on dodging, footwork, and offense.
• Emphasis on offense: The gloves encourage more active clinching and striking.
• More appealing to a wider audience: Using MMA gloves also makes it appealing to mixed martial arts fans, as the fight is closer to reality (and MMA).

Check out the One Championship website for more information and the event schedule!

Yes.

It's common to wear boxing wraps under MMA gloves.

Wraps provide crucial support and protection for the hands and wrists, which are prone to injury during training and fights. Boxing wraps help stabilize the wrist and knuckles, prevent hyperextension, and absorb impact.

Reasons for using wraps in MMA:

• Support and stability: Wraps connect the small metacarpals and bones of the hand and wrist. This creates a more stable structure that can withstand the force of punches.
• Injury prevention: They help prevent common (MMA) injuries, such as broken metacarpals, sprained or broken wrists, and knuckle injuries.
• Improved fit: Wraps improve the fit of your gloves. They give you a more compact, firmer, and tighter feel.
• Sweat absorption: Wraps absorb sweat, which can help prevent gloves from becoming slippery and uncomfortable, and also keep your hands drier.
• Hygiene: By absorbing sweat, bandages help prevent the growth of bacteria in your gloves.

MMA gloves are primarily worn in the UFC for fighters' safety, particularly to protect their hands from injury during punches.

While they allow for powerful punches, the gloves also help prevent cuts and lacerations, resulting in more exciting and longer matches. This also makes them more appealing to the audience and has contributed to the popularity of MMA.

In addition, the gloves aid in wrestling by allowing fighters to maintain a better grip.

In the early editions of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (before 1997) and other MMA tournaments, gloves were not used. This often resulted in (too) short matches, full of blood, but not very interesting for the audience.

MMA gloves, as we know them today, were introduced at UFC 14 in 1997.

They were already in use by other MMA organizations, such as Pride FC.

The UFC mandated the use of gloves weighing 4 to 6 oz (113-170 grams) to improve fighter safety and help the sport transition to stricter regulations and standardization.

While some fighters had already worn gloves, they weren't mandatory until UFC 14.

Hybrid MMA gloves are exactly what they sound like: a "hybrid" between regular, larger boxing gloves and smaller, compact MMA gloves.

They are relatively large for MMA gloves because they have thicker padding and therefore offer more protection than (competition) MMA gloves.

Hybrid gloves (or at least heavier MMA gloves) are primarily used for safety during training sessions at clubs and gyms.

Hybrid MMA gloves are also very well-suited for Krav Maga, bag training, or other forms of self-defense. They offer excellent punching capabilities while still providing excellent grappling capabilities.

Most of our customers don't really want to buy more than 1 pair of boxing gloves, although that is usually the best choice . If you regularly train on a punching bag (or punching mitts), it is really wiser to buy separate bag gloves for that. Both pairs will also last much longer.

Benefits of bag gloves on the punching bag:

• Bag gloves have a flatter striking surface and flatter padding, which transfers less impact to the wrists when using correct technique
• Bag gloves are smaller and lighter, allowing you to punch much faster and more accurately.
• Your sparring boxing gloves will last much longer because the padding will not be destroyed on the punching bag.
• Bag gloves usually last much longer on a punching bag

Bag gloves and boxing gloves are both used in (kick)boxing training, but have different purposes and different features.

Bag gloves are specifically designed for bag and pad training. They have less padding and often less wrist support. This provides more feedback and faster combinations.

Boxing gloves, on the other hand, are used for sparring and possibly competitions, where the emphasis is on protection and safety with thicker padding and more wrist support.

Bag glove features:

• Purpose: Specifically designed for bag and pad training, promoting speed and precision.
• Padding: Less padding compared to boxing gloves, for more feedback on impact. The materials are much denser to withstand repeated impact.
• Wrist support: Less wrist support, promoting proper punching technique. This isn't always the case; many Rival bag gloves have excellent wrist support (Wrist-Lock 2).
• Fit: Smaller and tighter fit for better wrist stabilization. Weight: Lighter, for faster punches and combinations. Usually 8 oz or 10 oz.
• Design: Usually has a separate thumb and sometimes no Velcro or laces for quick on and off.

Bag gloves, used for training on a punching bag or pads, are usually much lighter than sparring gloves.

They typically weigh between 6 oz and 12 oz (170 to 340 grams).

Unlike regular boxing gloves, bag gloves are usually offered in regular sizes like S, M, L, and XL instead of ounces, as they are designed to fit the boxer's hand snugly.

By comparison, sparring gloves are usually between 12 oz and 18 oz (340 and 520 grams), with much more padding for protection when training with a partner.

No.

Bag gloves should never be used for sparring or hitting.

They are specifically designed for use with a punching bag and hand pads (boxing mitts). The layered foam padding in these punching bag gloves is hard, compact, and high-density and is NOT intended for sparring.

For sparring, you need boxing gloves with more padding to protect both you and your training partner.

Your bag gloves should be sufficiently ventilated and breathable. All good punching bag gloves (and especially those in our range) are designed for this.

Good ventilation prevents excessive heat and sweating. It keeps your hands drier and comfortable during intense workouts. This also keeps the gloves drier, which is better for the padding and inner lining of the gloves.

Always let your gloves dry after training and preferably use a deodorizer to speed up and improve this process. This also prevents mold and fights unwanted bacteria.

Properly maintaining your boxing gloves is very important; it contributes to a more comfortable use and a longer lifespan.

The most important thing is to remove your gloves from your bag immediately after training. This way, your bag and boxing gloves won't smell as quickly and they can dry thoroughly. Avoid leaving your boxing gloves in the sun or on a radiator; using a deodorizer is highly recommended. A deodorizer is a moisture absorber that helps remove moisture and sweat from your gloves.

It's important not to let the leather of your boxing gloves dry out. When leather dries out, it becomes rough and cracks. This makes the leather more likely to tear.

Apply the leather polish liberally with a cloth or sponge and let it soak in for a while. Then, you can polish the boxing gloves.

With regular use, the leather will remain supple and water-repellent.

Rash guards are essential in MMA and ground fighting, such as BJJ, for protection against abrasions, infections, and overheating.

They provide a protective layer against abrasions, cuts, and potential skin infections like ringworm and staph.

Furthermore, rash guards help regulate body temperature by wicking sweat and providing breathability, making training more comfortable and preventing overheating.

Benefits of wearing a rash guard in MMA:

1. Skin protection
2. Temperature regulation
3. Improved performance
4. Hygiene and etiquette

The most popular brand in our range that focuses on MMA is undoubtedly Hayabusa Fightwear.

This brand has its roots in MMA and the UFC. Georges St. Pierre was Hayabusa's icon for a long time.

Other brands popular with MMA fighters, especially for stand-up fighting, are: XPRT Fight Gear, Fairtex, Booster, Rival Boxing Gear, King Pro Boxing, and Twins Special.

For mouthguards and groin protection, we would definitely recommend checking out Shock Doctor products.

4 oz MMA gloves are the standard fight gloves. They are lightweight, have less padding than a 7 oz MMA glove, and are used for competitions and advanced sparring where speed and feel are important.

7 oz MMA gloves have thicker padding, offering more protection for both you and your training partner. 7 oz MMA gloves are ideal for beginners, technical sparring, and intense training.

In short: 4 oz = competition, 7 oz = safer for training and sparring.

Different brands of MMA gloves have different sizing guidelines. You can always choose a larger size if you wear long hand wraps, knuckle guards, or gel wraps under your MMA gloves.

Krav Maga trousers are usually sized in length, from 110 cm to 200 cm.

Each krav maga trousers have a unique size chart (in the size selection and at the bottom of the contents). This chart provides the best possible guideline for what we think is the best choice for you.

Please note that these length measurements correspond to your own height, rounded to the nearest size. So, if you are 178 cm tall, it's best to choose a size 180 cm. If you are 152 cm tall, it's best to choose a size 150 cm.

Use these tips to make the right choice!

Krav Maga is a self-defense and combat system developed for the Israeli military.

It emphasizes practical, realistic self-defense techniques based on various martial arts and combat systems.

Krav Maga is known for its effectiveness and adaptability and is used by military and law enforcement personnel, as well as civilians.

In Krav Maga, you train for all sorts of scenarios where staying safe is essential. Good protection is, of course, indispensable. Since many simple techniques are used, often involving kicks to the groin, a good groin guard is an absolute must-have.

Most Krav Maga practitioners choose a groin guard from Shock Doctor. This brand is known for its high-quality protectors for heavy contact sports and extreme sports, such as rugby, ice hockey, and water polo.

Shock Doctor makes groin guards for both men and women.

Krav Maga simulates realistic self-defense situations, and participants are trained to respond accordingly. Protective gear is therefore a crucial component, and a good mouthguard is essential.

Many of our Krav Maga clients (rightly so) choose a Shock Doctor mouthguard. This brand is known for its excellent protection for high-contact sports and extreme sports.

Another good choice is SafeJawz mouthguards. This relatively new brand offers exclusively mouthguards. The founders have extensive experience in sports where mouthguards are essential.

There are no shin guards (yet) specifically designed for Krav Maga. Therefore, kickboxing shin guards are used most of the time.

Because shoes are often worn in Krav Maga, the elastic straps on shin guards are often removed during training.

For Krav Maga, we recommend relatively simple, yet good shin guards with sufficient cushioning. View Krav Maga shin guards in our webshop.

For Krav Maga, we recommend relatively simple, yet good boxing gloves in 12, 14, or 16 oz.

You can get very expensive ones, but boxing gloves are generally not used as intensively as in boxing or kickboxing, for example. They're usually only used for part of the lesson. Therefore, it's wiser to spread your budget and also consider MMA gloves.

It's important to choose boxing gloves with sufficient padding and, of course, of decent quality.

Martial arts uniforms are usually sized in length, from 110 cm to 200 cm.

Each karate uniform, krav maga pants, or taekwondo uniform has a unique size chart (in the size selection and at the bottom of the contents). This chart provides the best possible guideline for what we think is the best choice for you.

Please note that these length measurements correspond to your own height, rounded to the nearest size. So, if you are 178 cm tall, it's best to choose a size 180 cm. If you are 152 cm tall, it's best to choose a size 150 cm.

Use these tips to make the right choice!

For ITF Taekwon-do, you first need a dobok (suit), hand guards, and foot guards (safety equipment). It's also recommended to purchase a mouthguard, groin guard, and head guard.

You can read more about this Korean national sport in our blog: Martial Arts >> Taekwon-do

These safety guards meet all requirements for semi-contact competitions, such as All-Style Karate, kickboxing, and ITF taekwon-do.

Yes.

These shin guards are excellent for Krav Maga, Karate, and Taekwon-do.

"Budo" is a collective term for Japanese martial arts that train both technique and mental discipline.

Well-known budo sports include:

• Judo
• Karate (e.g., Shotokan, Kyokushin)
• Aikido
• Kendo
• Iaido
• Jiu-jitsu (traditional & modern)
• Naginata
• Kyudo (Japanese archery)
• Sumo
• Shorinji Kempo

Not all martial arts fall under budo, only Japanese disciplines with a traditional philosophical background.

To keep your suit looking its best and hygienic for as long as possible, it's important to maintain it properly.

Maintaining your Budo suit:

• Always check the label for special washing instructions.
• Wash inside out.
• Wash separately or with similar colors (white).
• Machine wash cold, maximum 40°C on a low spin.
• You can use a dryer on a low spin, but preferably let it dry outdoors.
• Iron your suit to remove wrinkles and ensure a neat appearance.

Kickboxing shorts usually come in "normal" sizes, from XXS to XL.

Each brand and model of kickboxing shorts has a unique size chart (in the size selection and at the bottom of the contents). This chart provides the best possible guideline for what we think is the best choice for you for that specific brand and model.

Please note that there are no separate children's sizes. These are generally XXS, XS, and S.

The Thai brands Fairtex, Booster, King Pro, and Twins run much smaller than European sizes. Feel free to choose one or even two sizes larger than you normally wear.

These tips will help you make the right choice!

Yes.

Most (kick)boxing shorts are machine washable, but it's best to turn them inside out first. It's also best to wash at a low temperature. You can also put them in a laundry bag to protect them. Hand washing is, of course, the safest option.

Washing instructions:
Always check the washing instructions on the label of the shorts first. Some shorts may require a specific washing temperature or cycle.

Inside out:
Turn the kickboxing shorts inside out to protect the exterior and prints during washing.

Washing machine:
Choose a delicate cycle or a low-temperature cycle, such as 30°C or 40°C. Avoid hot water, as this can damage the fabric.

Washing bag:
Use a laundry bag for delicates to protect the shorts from the movement of the washing machine, especially if the shorts have Velcro.

Drying:
Simply let the shorts air dry normally. Do not use a dryer, as the heat can damage the fabric and alter the fit.

Other tips:
It's best to wash the kickboxing shorts separately or with similar colors to prevent discoloration and bleeding.

Kickboxing shorts, as well as Muay Thai shorts, are designed with wide legs for maximum freedom of movement. This is essential, especially when performing kicks and knee strikes.

The loose fit and wide legs prevent the shorts from restricting leg movement, which is crucial for effective knee and kicking techniques.

Yes.

You can absolutely try on kickboxing shorts and buy them right away. That way, you're 100% sure you'll leave the showroom with your favorite kickboxing shorts! We have the same inventory in our physical showroom as in our online store.

There's no difference between men's and women's kickboxing shorts. Kickboxing shorts are almost always unisex, but women sometimes choose a different color or pattern that appeals to them more. Kickboxing shorts for boys and girls, men and women, are available in various color combinations.

Traditional boxing shorts have a characteristic, almost iconic look. Why?

Every design element serves a practical purpose:

• Loose, loose fit - For free movement, quick footwork, and agility
• High waistband - More protection for the lower abdomen. Extra reinforcement of the core. A visual cue for referees to indicate legal punches above the belt.
• Lightweight and breathable material - Helps boxers stay cooler and more comfortable. They remain lightweight by absorbing less excess sweat, thus not weighing the boxer down.
• Eye-catching designs and bright colors - Originally practical, they served as a way to distinguish fighters from each other for both spectators and judges. Now, they also serve as a means of reflecting the boxers' identity within the sport.

Boxing shorts are generally made of polyester and/or satin. Polyester is lightweight and breathable, while satin has a luxurious look and feels soft. Both polyester and satin offer ample freedom of movement while boxing.

Yes.

All boxing shorts are unisex, so they're suitable for both men and women.

Yes.

These punching bags come standard with a simple 4-point chain.

A wall bag can be attached directly to the (outside) wall, but you can also choose to first attach an additional frame to the wall for stability. Then, place the wall bag on top of this.

A frame naturally provides extra stability and is also better for your wall's foundations.

Boxing mitts, also called focus pads, are compact pads held by a trainer during a training session. The terms punching mitts and focus pads are often used interchangeably. However, we believe there are subtle differences between them, hence the breakdown on our website. Boxing mitts are primarily intended for punching and punching techniques.

Thai pads, also known as kick pads or pao, are larger pads held by a trainer to practice both punching and kicking.

Punching pads are usually large, round pads that the trainer or partner holds in front of their body. These are especially suitable for all kinds of punching techniques, including hooks, lever punches, and uppercuts.

Kicking pads are the really large pads for punching and kicking. They are ideal for beginners and children who, frankly, aren't yet very good at aiming. They are also very suitable for advanced players, as they can use these pads to exert their technique with full force.

Hybrid pads are a combination of large Thai pads and small hand pads.

Hybrid pads offer the convenience, speed, and versatility of both types of pads. This makes them suitable not only for punching and hand techniques, but also for kicking.

They are generally heavier than regular hand pads, but considerably lighter than Thai pads.

This allows coaches and personal trainers to deliver extended training sessions that cover all techniques.

A jump rope and a speed rope are both used for skipping, but differ in weight and intended use. Speed ropes are lightweight and designed purely for fast jumps (such as double unders). Regular jump ropes are generally heavier and are used for general conditioning, warm-up fitness, and cross-training.

Speed ropes:

• Lightweight: Made of thin PVC or steel cables, allowing them to rotate faster.
• Speed training: Primarily used for high-intensity exercises such as double unders, speed skipping, and agility training.
• Suitable for: Athletes and people who want to improve their speed, agility, and coordination.

Jump ropes:

• Varying weights: Can range from light to extra heavy, and some are weighted for strength and endurance training. For example, the Rival weighted jump rope.
• Versatile: Suitable for various workouts, including base jumping, cross-training, and building endurance.
• Suitable for: Beginners and those looking for a full-body workout, including strength and cardio benefits.

In short, if you want to jump as fast as possible or develop advanced skills, a speed rope is the better choice. If you're looking for a more versatile workout or want to build your overall fitness, a regular jump rope is the better choice.

Yes. This jump rope can be adjusted to different lengths.

For adults, a jump rope should be as long as possible: stand with both feet in the middle of the rope and pull the handles upward. The handles should reach approximately your armpits or breastbone.

Boxers jump rope because it's a highly effective exercise that improves various aspects of their performance, including endurance, footwork, coordination, and mental toughness.

It's a versatile training tool that can be used for warm-ups, conditioning, and even strength building.

Benefits of Jumping Rope:

• Improved Endurance: Jumping rope is a high-intensity cardio workout. It improves a fighter's cardiovascular endurance.
• Improved Footwork: The quick and precise movements required for jumping rope help develop agility and quick footwork.
• Improved Coordination: Jumping rope requires coordination between the hands, eyes, feet, and body, which contributes to improved overall coordination.
• Improved Endurance: Jumping rope builds endurance by increasing heart rate and improving breathing efficiency.
• Mental strength: The discipline and focus required to master various jump rope techniques, especially the more advanced moves, contribute to mental resilience and the ability to stay focused.
• Physical strength: Jumping rope can strengthen the legs, core, and even the arms.

Yes, if you put shin guards, for example, in a bag that's too small, it will compromise the shape, strength, and protection of the product. In short: you don't want to squeeze products into the bag.

Some gymbags also offer more advantages than others, such as the use of mesh panels, which makes a sports bag more airy and therefore more hygienic. This prevents unpleasant odors from lingering and allows your gloves and/or shin guards to breathe better.

Yes.

This sports bag can be used with a shoulder strap as a regular sports bag, or with separate straps as a backpack.

We've included the dimensions of all our bags in a size chart (you can find on top at select "product size" and at the bottom of the page under "information" and then the "size" tab). We've also included the volume in liters.

This sports bag has a separate compartment where you can put your wet clothes and towel after exercising, keeping them separate from the rest of your belongings.

Boxing shoes are on average smaller than normal shoes, so we recommend that you take a size larger.

These are often lighter socks that are durable. The length of the socks is a personal preference, but for boxing shoes, longer socks are often recommended to reduce chafing.

Besides that, the socks also contribute to strengthening the ankle thanks to their snug fit.

Boxing shoes are essential for boxing because of their support, grip, and agility.

They provide good ankle support, which is essential in preventing ankle injuries.

The sole of boxing shoes also contributes to optimal grip on the boxing floor, which ultimately results in better stability and faster mobility. This is partly due to the use of lightweight materials and thinner soles.

Boxing shoes are usually high-top models to provide essential ankle support during the often explosive movements of boxing.

This support helps prevent ankle injuries such as sprains and strains. Unfortunately, these sometimes occur due to the quick turns and sudden changes in direction that boxers make.

• Ankle support: Many consider quick footwork, including turning and quick changes of direction, to be the most important aspect of boxing. High-top boxing shoes offer better support to the ankle joint, minimizing the risk of spraining or twisting the ankle.
• Stability and balance: The support provided by high-top boxing shoes contributes to better stability and balance, which is crucial for a strong stance and the ability to deliver powerful punches.
• Injury prevention: Thanks to the aforementioned features, high-top boxing shoes allow boxers to train with more confidence and explosiveness.
• Performance improvement: Some boxers prefer low-top shoes for greater freedom of movement. However, high-top shoes are often preferred for the extra support. The boxer can thus improve his or her performance by enabling more explosive and powerful movements with greater stability.

The Everlast Elite 2 are true to size, just like your regular sneakers/shoes.

They fit true to size.

The Hayabusa boxing shoes (Pro, Talon & Elite) run large. Therefore, it's best to order a size smaller than usual.

This will ensure an ideal fit and maximum comfort and support.

The Hayabusa Pro boxing shoes are suitable for slightly wider feet.

See the unique size chart for this product for exact sizing and foot length.

Adidas boxing shoes run small and narrow.

Due to the small fit of these boxing shoes, we recommend ordering half a size larger than your usual shoe size.

Boxing shoes with a thin sole provide the boxer with better grip, stability, and connection to the floor. This generally improves footwork. The thin sole contributes not only to better grip but also to the overall lighter weight of the boxing shoe. A lighter boxing shoe naturally also offers better mobility, which results in explosiveness in the feet and smoother movements.

Boxing shoes with a thick sole offer more stability and support, giving the boxer a better base. A thicker sole also provides better shock absorption, reducing pressure on the feet and reducing fatigue. A thicker sole is always paired with boxing shoes that use sturdier materials, which also helps prevent ankle injuries.

Yes.

Although the sprays are specifically designed for boxing gloves, you can also use them on other (sports) items.

You can use it on shin guards, for example, but it also works fantastically on smelly sneakers and trainers.

After each workout, spray a small amount into your boxing gloves. One spray is sufficient.

If you also use a deodorizer (which we recommend), we recommend drying the boxing gloves first with the deodorizer and then using the disinfectant spray.

Sukkiri Spray contains a high level of natural alcohol (approximately 60%), which ensures maximum cleaning and disinfecting action.

This powerful formula effectively removes bacteria and unpleasant odors, while keeping your sports equipment, gloves, or shoes fresh and clean.

Boxing glove deodorizers are essentially moisture absorbers specifically designed for boxing gloves. You put them in your gloves after use. This allows them to dry much faster, preventing sweat from penetrating the lining or padding.

Deodorizers ensure that:

1. your boxing gloves dry faster
2. your gloves stay fresher
3. the lining and padding stay in good condition for longer

Want to learn more about deodorizers? Then read our comprehensive blog post: Deodorizers: a miracle product for maintaining your boxing gloves

You can use a deodorizer (Hayabusa, Rival, or No-Stink) for about 9 to 12 months before it's time to switch to a fresh new one. This, of course, depends partly on the frequency of use and the amount of sweat they absorb.

No.

You simply let them dry somewhere, and they're ready for the next round. They're naturally bacteria-resistant.

Boxers use sports tape, also known as hand wraps, to protect and support their hands and wrists while boxing. This helps prevent injuries such as sprains, fractures, and tendonitis, which can occur from the impact of punches.

The tape and wraps provide extra stability and prevent excessive movement of the hands and wrists during punches.

Here are the main reasons boxers use sports tape:

• Protection: Sports tape helps protect the delicate bones, joints, and tendons in the hands and wrists from the impact of punches.
• Stability: The tape and wraps provide extra stability and support for the hand and wrist, reducing the risk of injury.
• Prevention of Overuse: The support of the tape allows the hands and wrists to better handle the repetitive strain of boxing.
• Improved Performance: The support and stability provided by the tape can also improve the boxer's performance. Boxing Gloves Addition: Sports tape is often used in conjunction with boxing gloves for added protection and support.

There's really no difference between women's boxing gloves and women's kickboxing gloves.

There are brands that focus more on boxing, and others that focus more on kickboxing and Thai boxing.

There are some very minor differences, but in practice, you can use women's boxing gloves for kickboxing and women's kickboxing gloves for boxing.

Also read our blog: The difference between boxing gloves and kickboxing gloves

Yes.

Wearing inner gloves is always recommended for women. Besides strengthening your hands, they serve another (hygienic) purpose. Sweat collects in the inner gloves, which you can then wash. This keeps your gloves fresher and in better condition for longer.

Wearing handwraps is even better. These provide more support and protection. They may seem complicated to put on, but you'll quickly get the hang of it. We often include links to videos on the product pages for boxing handwraps to help you get started.

Another very popular option is wearing gel wraps. These offer the convenience of inner gloves, the reinforcement of handwraps, and the added comfort of extra cushioning on your knuckles!

Yes.

The color doesn't affect the quality of the boxing gloves. However, keep in mind that there are no pink, green, or blue cows. The leather (or faux leather) is always dyed. Therefore, the color may fade over time.

Your boxing gloves can be a bit feminine, so feel free to choose the color you like! Any extra encouragement is always welcome, right?

No.

There aren't really any boxing gloves specifically for women. Boxing gloves are almost always unisex. Women generally have smaller and more delicate hands and usually choose a lighter (smaller) boxing glove size.

There are boxing gloves that are more suitable for women due to their fit and style. At Fight2Win.nl, we've made a selection based on our experience: view our selection of women's boxing gloves.

Be sure to consult the unique size chart for the models you're considering. Sometimes brands do provide specific advice for men and women separately.

Note: In the past, there have been brands that focused more on women. However, these were mainly visual differences aimed at women, not so much gloves that were designed differently from (men's) boxing gloves.

There really aren't any differences.

There are no boxing gloves specifically for men or women. Boxing gloves are almost always unisex (after all, they're usually ready-made).

Women generally have slightly narrower hands than men, so it's better to choose a lighter boxing glove. These are often also slightly smaller and have a narrower fit.

Most women choose a 12 oz boxing glove. If you're a bit smaller, you can choose a 10 oz. If you're a bit taller than average or want to train heavier, you can choose a 14 oz or 16 oz.

Hayabusa and Rival Boxing Gear make women's boxing gloves that are incredibly effective at supporting and strengthening your wrists. The Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves and the Rival RS11V are unmatched when it comes to wrist support!

Hayabusa T3

The Hayabusa women's boxing gloves from the T3 series have a special double closure system (Dual-X) that can be tightened even around smaller wrists. View the Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves in our webshop.

Yes.

Hayabusa, XPRT Fight Gear, Twins Special, and Rival Boxing Gear are all brands that make boxing gloves that are perfectly (or perhaps even more) suitable for women.

Women generally have slightly narrower hands than men, so it's better to choose a lighter boxing glove. These are often also automatically somewhat smaller and have a narrower fit. Therefore, it's best to choose a lighter glove if you have really small hands.

Hayabusa T3

The Hayabusa T3 series is very suitable for women because it's slightly narrower and more compact. This is a good choice for women, as we've even helped teenage girls in the store buy a 12, 14, or even 16 oz Hayabusa T3. Moreover, they have a special dual-X Velcro closure that can be tightened even around smaller wrists. View the Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves in our webshop.

XPRT Fight Gear

XPRT offers several models that are perfectly suited for women's hands. The Top Gloves are nice, compact, and tight-fitting boxing gloves, making them very comfortable for women as well. The long, wide Velcro closure also allows you to tighten them securely around your wrists. View the XPRT Boxing Gloves in our webshop.

Twins Special

Twins boxing gloves are all made in Thailand. People here are generally smaller than in Western countries. Twins Special boxing gloves, although unisex, are therefore also very suitable for women. Please note that these leather boxing gloves can stretch considerably, so it's best not to choose a Twins glove that is too large. We generally recommend a 12 oz or 14 oz. View the Twins BGVL3 boxing gloves in our webshop.

Rival Boxing Gear

All Rival boxing gloves have a unique, innovative lining. We (and our customers) absolutely love it! Admittedly, Rival boxing gloves aren't cheap, but you get a fantastic glove for sure. The lining of all Rival boxing gloves has a foam-like composition, which gives almost everyone an instant, excellent fit. The RS11V and RS2V models are particularly suitable for women. View Rival boxing gloves in our webshop.

For women beginners, we would definitely recommend the XPRT Top Gloves. These are made of genuine leather, have a nice, compact fit, are durable (because they're genuine leather), and are also very reasonably priced. The XPRT Pro V3 is also very suitable for women beginners if you want a boxing glove that isn't too tight. You also have plenty of room for bandages or gel wraps.

If you're willing to spend a little more (and you should definitely treat yourself to that), you could also opt for the Hayabusa T3. These (kick)boxing gloves have a very comfortable and compact fit. They also have a unique closure, patented by Hayabusa, that allows you to tighten them very tightly around your wrists. This provides significant extra support for your wrists.

We have a separate collection of women's boxing gloves in our webshop. You can also filter further by color, price, and level.

Hayabusa, Cleto Reyes, Rival Boxing Gear, and of course, Winning are all brands that make excellent boxing gloves for advanced women.

Hayabusa

The Hayabusa T3 series is ideal for advanced women. Hayabusa makes top-quality products that are all scientifically developed. They pay particular attention to durability, ergonomics, and protection. Moreover, they have a special double closure that can be tightened even around smaller wrists. View the Hayabusa T3 women's boxing gloves in our webshop.

Rival Boxing Gear

Rival boxing gloves are, without exception, fantastic boxing gloves for advanced boxers. The lining of all Rival boxing gloves has a foam-like composition, which allows for an immediate and excellent fit for almost any hand type (large or small). Want the absolute best? Then consider a Rival boxing glove with a lace closure, such as the RS100 or RS1 Ultra 2.0. View the Rival women's boxing gloves in our webshop.

Cleto Reyes

Cleto Reyes, the renowned Mexican brand, creates exclusively top-quality products for advanced (kick)boxers. Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are also ideal for advanced women. Want the ultimate fit? Consider a Cleto boxing glove with a lace-up closure. After all, nothing beats the fit of a classic lace-up style. View Cleto women's boxing gloves in our online store.

Winning Japan

Winning, the world's most sought-after boxing gloves, from Japan makes only the very best products for advanced (kick)boxers. The word "advanced" doesn't even apply here anymore. It's more accurate to call it "professional." For advanced women, Winning Japan's boxing gloves are ideal. Want the absolute best fit? Then consider a Winning boxing glove with laces. There's simply no better boxing glove than a Winning with laces. View the Winning boxing gloves in our webshop. Note: these are virtually impossible to buy without a very long wait!

Not necessarily.

These days, this is no longer always the case, as synthetic materials (PU, Vylar, microfiber) are now superior to genuine leather.

There is also a significant difference in quality between different types of leather. This depends on the manufacturer (price range) and the animal it comes from. You can compare this to regular shoes. Cheap athletic shoes can be made of leather, but they won't be the same quality leather as, for example, a pair of Italian brand-name shoes.

Leather boxing gloves are usually better, but as mentioned earlier, this isn't always the case.

There are several important factors to consider when buying women's boxing gloves. Much of this depends on your own preferences and requirements, and of course, your available budget.

In any case, keep the following things in mind.

These are almost always described in our webshop, either in the collection or with the specific women's boxing glove:

• What size or weight boxing gloves should I choose?
• What type of closure should I choose?
• What material do I prefer?
• What type of padding can I choose?
• Which brand of boxing gloves suits my needs?
• How long do boxing gloves last?
• How do I maintain my boxing gloves?

Boxing gloves are almost always unisex, so there's no difference in sizing. Women usually choose a lighter/smaller size boxing glove than men.

Boxing gloves aren't sized according to "normal" sizes, but by weight expressed in ounces (oz).

General size chart:

Each brand and model of boxing glove on our website has a unique sizing chart (in the size selection section and at the bottom of the content). This chart provides the best possible guideline for what we think is the best choice for that specific model.

The rule of thumb is: "the heavier the person, the heavier the glove." A heavier boxing glove generally has more padding and is therefore safer for the hands and for the training partner. Trainers generally prefer heavier boxing gloves to lighter ones.

You can also use regular boxing gloves for bag training. However, they aren't designed for this purpose and will therefore break more easily than specialized bag gloves.

The Top Gloves from XPRT, for example, are a good choice. They offer excellent value for money.

The advantage of "regular" boxing gloves is that you can train with them both on the punching bag and with a partner. However, this won't be appreciated at traditional boxing clubs. You're not supposed to break the padding of your sparring gloves on the punching bag.

If you're looking to purchase a pair of gloves specifically for bag training (and pad training), we'd highly recommend the Rival RB50.

Separate Bag Gloves

Most of our customers don't actually want to buy more than one pair of boxing gloves, although that's usually the best choice. If you regularly train on a punching bag (or with hand pads), it's definitely wiser to buy separate bag gloves for that purpose. Both pairs will last much longer.

Advantages of using bag gloves on a punching bag:

• Bag gloves have a flatter striking surface and padding, which transfers less impact to the wrists when used correctly.
• Bag gloves are smaller and lighter, allowing you to punch much faster and more precisely.
• Your sparring boxing gloves will last much longer because the padding won't be damaged by the punching bag.
• Bag gloves generally last much longer on a punching bag.

The word "best" is, of course, very difficult to pin down to a single model, although brands are more than happy to do so. There are many, many best boxing gloves in the world, if we are to believe the manufacturers.

We sell a huge number of boxing glove models that we endorse, and have been doing so for over 20 years. Based on our experience, we have compiled the lists below.

To try and answer the question "What are the best boxing gloves for women?", we have divided them into four categories:

Best entry-level women's boxing gloves:

• XPRT Top Gloves
• XPRT Pro V3 Crush
• King Revo

Best advanced women's boxing gloves:

• Hayabusa T3
• Twins BGN
• Rival RS2V

Best top-of-the-line women's boxing gloves:

• Rival RS11V
• Cleto Reyes Sparring
• Hayabusa T3 LX

Best women's bag gloves:

• Rival RB50

Absolutely.

Actually, there are (almost) no boxing gloves specifically for women (or men). Boxing gloves are almost always unisex and ready-made, unless you have them custom-made.

There are boxing gloves designed with women in mind, as a key target group. These usually offer a better fit thanks to narrower hand compartments and smaller sizes.

Rival developed the double-angled V-strap to further enhance their products.

The Wrist-Lock 2 attaches to both the thumbside and the other side of the glove via a loop, ensuring even pressure on both sides of the glove, from the thumb to the cuff, when tightening the strap. This is similar to the tape applied to the cuff of a professional fighting glove.

This system in a hook-and-loop glove approaches the comfort and stability of a full-lace boxing glove as closely as possible.

Rival Boxing pays attention to the smallest details in ergonomics and anatomy.

The wrist of the gloves with Conic Cuff Design is cut at a 15-degree angle to follow the natural angle of a boxer's hand.

With this detail in mind, the Conic Cuff design has been incorporated into Rival boxing gloves. Look at the back of your hand: you'll notice that the line from the top of your pinky to your wrist slopes upward, and from your wrist to your forearm, there's another angle. Unlike most other manufacturers, our boxing glove design takes this into account.

Because the wrist of the boxing gloves with Conic Cuff Design is narrower than the cuff of the glove that fits around the forearm, our gloves fit a boxer's wrist more snugly, ensuring maximum comfort, stability, and performance!

The Ergo Strap Xtreme System offers the best ergonomic fit, tension, and support you need in a glove when using hook-and-loop straps instead of laces. By increasing the width of the strap, especially around the wrist, you get the maximum support and protection of a hook-and-loop glove.

When Rival designed our very first sparring glove, Russ wanted to implement several key elements. He wanted to develop a glove that:

1. Would perform as well, or better, than any other sparring glove on the market.
2. Top pros could confidently use it round after round.
3. Would outlast anything they had ever used before.
4. Incorporated never-before-seen technology and a design Russ had envisioned for at least 15 years.

Thus, the "ERGO LACE TRACK SYSTEM" was born. Using a deep, crisscross pattern around the underside of the wrist and an ergonomically correct 15-degree angle at the wrist, Rival created the absolute perfect fit while tying a glove, while simultaneously concealing the laces. This paved the way for the birth of Rival Boxing Gear's very first sparring glove, the RS1.

This concept was so successful that our entire high-end line was built around this outstanding design. The pinnacle of this finally came a few years later when we introduced the "Angled Lace Track" for our professional fighting gloves. Since then, we've also introduced the "Angled Lace Track" on the RS100 sparring glove.

The RS100 sparring glove is one of Rival Boxing's gems, thanks in part to the innovative and ingenious Ergonomic True Fist Construction system.

When you place your hand in one of these boxing gloves, you can comfortably close your fist to achieve the most natural fist position, without the uncomfortable pressure of the foam and without having to bend the glove before your hand locks into its natural punching position.

The principles of Ergonomic True Fist Construction allow you to open and close your hand freely without disrupting the construction of the glove's hand compartment. Comfort, safety, and maximum performance are guaranteed!

The key to the Ergo Strap System's success lies in its simplicity: a conventional, uniform-width strap is replaced by one that's wider on the palm side of the wrist, measuring 4 inches at its widest point, providing greater comfort, stability, and wrist support. It has since become an industry standard.

Innovation has always been paramount at Rival Boxing. In fact, our entry into the market was based on a revolutionary concept that set us apart from the rest of the industry.

Before Rival Boxing introduced the Ergo Strap System, most hook-and-loop gloves used a conventional 2- or 3-inch strap to fasten the glove. This old-fashioned closure system did little more than that and offered no support or stability to the wrist. With a little thought, a simple innovation emerged; Rival Boxing redefined what "normal" is.

RS1 Ultra 2.0:

Rival boxing gloves are known for their snug, ergonomic fit.

This is especially true for the sparring gloves, which are designed for a secure and comfortable feel, with an emphasis on wrist support and knuckle protection.

As soon as you put on your Rival boxing gloves, you'll notice the inner lining conforms to your hands, virtually enveloping them, regardless of the glove's weight. This is a unique feature of Rival, which features a special foam-like inner lining.

They may feel tight at first, especially with hand wraps. However, this ensures that after the break-in period, they offer a very good fit for narrow, normal, and wide hands.

They are known for their suitable and safe padding for both you and your training partner.

Each Rival boxing glove comes with a unique sizing chart, which you should consult carefully.

Some fighters find them too tight at first, but over time (break-in time) they become more and more comfortable.

The flagship sparring glove with Velcro, the Rival RS11V, is by far the best-selling boxing glove from Rival Boxing Gear at Fight2Win.nl.

Not all Rival gloves are made of genuine leather. The RS11V, RS2V, RS100, RS80V, and RS1 2.0 are made of microfiber.

Microfiber is a synthetic material composed of very fine fibers (thinner than a human hair), making it shape-retaining, durable, and easy to clean.

Rival models that are made of genuine leather are the RFX Guerrero Sparring HDE-F (laces) and RS1 Pro Sparring 20A (laces). These gloves are made of the finest cowhide.

Rival boxing gloves, like almost all other boxing gloves, are not sized according to "normal" sizes, but by weight expressed in ounces (oz).

Hayabusa developed the patented Dual-X™ closure system for an adjustable fit and ensures boxers' hands and wrists remain properly aligned, preventing injury. This system provides a similar feel to laces, without the need for someone else to tie your gloves.

The Dual-X straps work in conjunction with our Fusion Splinting Technology to create a system unlike any other on the market. Dual-X plus Fusion Splinting provides superior wrist support and hand protection. Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves maintain 99.7% of the anatomical alignment of the hands and wrists.

This means that when you put your hands in a pair of Hayabusa boxing gloves and strap yourself in, you'll punch with properly aligned hands and wrists, preventing injury. Achieving the highest level of wrist support and hand protection means doing more than anyone else. It means innovating.

All Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves feature the Dual-X™ closure system and Fusion Splinting™.

The Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves are made with multi-layered Deltra-EG™ foam for ultimate knuckle protection and are lined with temperature-regulating AG™ material to keep hands cool.

In short: Italian leather is considered the finest quality leather.

Italian leather has long been synonymous with impeccable quality and enduring elegance, a testament to Italy's deep-rooted history in the art of leather craftsmanship.

This tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, when Italian tanneries flourished, particularly in regions like Tuscany. These early artisans laid the foundation for what would become a world-renowned symbol of luxury and craftsmanship.

Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves generally have a compact/tight to normal fit and are suitable for both narrow and normal hands.

Although Hayabusa boxing gloves have a fairly compact fit, they are also suitable for people with "normal" hands. For larger hands, we would definitely go up a size (weight).

They are known for their medium/compact padding.

No.

Not all Hayabusa gloves are made of genuine leather. The "regular" T3 models are made of Vylar-2, a synthetic leather of the highest quality.

Vylar-2 synthetic leather is scientifically proven to be up to 30% stronger than regular leather. These Hayabusa boxing gloves are therefore certainly not inferior to genuine leather boxing gloves. Furthermore, the color of Vylar-2 synthetic leather retains its color better and the synthetic leather doesn't crack.

In addition to the regular T3 models, there are the T3 Kanpeki models. These are made of 100% leather.

Top models include the Hayabusa T3 LX. These are made of 100% luxury Italian full-grain leather. Italian full-grain leather is the most durable and wear-resistant type of leather because it retains the full grain structure.

All Twins BGVL3/BGN models

• Thick, multi-layered foam padding for optimal protection.

Twins gloves have more padding on the back/side of the hand than a regular boxing glove. They are designed for Thai boxing, but are also suitable for kickboxing and boxing.

This padding is necessary for blocking kicks and backfists. A Twins glove offers slightly less knuckle protection than a "classic" boxing glove of a similar weight. This is because the weight is distributed across other parts of the glove.

Twins boxing gloves generally have a generous fit and are suitable for both wide and normal hands.

Although Twins boxing gloves have a fairly wide fit, they are also suitable for people with "normal" hands. There is ample room to properly wrap your hand wraps.

Boxing gloves with laces are usually fastened with a single lace that crosses both sides. This lace is then pulled tight so that the gloves fit snugly.

The end of the laces is then tied around the wrist of the lace boxing glove. Boxing gloves with lace-up closure are usually almost identical to gloves with a (easier) velcro closure.

Benefits of boxing gloves with laces:

• Close, secure and comfortable fit around the wrist
• Mostly padded wrists for increased comfort
• Cuff around the wrists feels more streamlined and less bulky
• No risk of scratches from Velcro for opponents

Disadvantages of boxing gloves with laces:

• Need help from another person to tie
• Slower to put on and take off, so not ideal for shorter workouts
• Lace ends can cut opponents

1. Take both laces from your boxing glove and the converter.
2. Guide both ends through the converter and tie a single knot.
3. Put on your boxing glove and pull the laces tight. Wrap them around your boxing glove.
4. Pull the end of the converter and stretch the elastic slightly. Tuck the end of the lace into the center of the converter and fasten the Velcro.
5. Ready for battle!

While the Hayabusa T3 shin guards are fantastic, we wouldn't recommend them to everyone.

The Hayabusa T3 shin guards run very large and wide. The fit is excellent, but they're not suitable for people with slim or thin legs.

The T3 Carbon, Storm, and Trophy are made of VYLAR-2.

VYLAR-2 synthetic leather is scientifically proven to be up to 30% stronger than regular leather. These Hayabusa shin guards are therefore certainly on par with genuine leather shin guards. Furthermore, the color of Vylar-2 synthetic leather retains its color better and the synthetic leather doesn't crack.

The T3 LX Retro is made of the finest Italian cowhide, ensuring high durability and excellent wear resistance.

There are essentially two types of kickboxing shin guards for children: one type—the simplest for smaller and beginner children—you put on like a sock. We call this a stocking-style shin guard.

The other type is more contoured and a bit firmer and/or thicker. These are suitable for older children or if you've been training for a while.

Yes.

That's certainly possible. For the youngest children up to about 8 years old, we always recommend the stocking models, but if you prefer, there are also hard shin guards for children from King Pro, XPRT, and Booster.

If your child is a bit older and has been training for a while, you can also consider the smallest size of the more expensive (and much better) shin guards from the A-line from Twins Special and King Pro Boxing.

We've created a unique size chart for almost every shin guard on our website, specifically designed for that particular model. It's best to consult this chart carefully to choose the right size for your children's shin guard.

If you're still having trouble, we also have a physical showroom where we're happy to provide personalized advice: see the "Visit our showroom" page for more information.

1. Boil Water: Fill a pot with at least 25 cm (10 inches) of water and bring to a boil.

    

2. Soak the Tray: After removing the boiling water from the heat source, let it sit for 15 seconds. Then, immerse the tray in the water for 140 seconds to soften it.

    

3. Remove with a Spoon: Gently lift the tray out of the water with a foamed spoon, ensuring safety and maintaining its shape.

    

4. Cool Slightly: Hold the tray by the sides and edges to maintain its shape for fitting. Shake off excess water and let it air cool for 5 seconds, or quickly rinse it under running water for 1-2 seconds.

    

5. Align and Adjust: Align the center of the tray with the midline of your upper teeth. Use a mirror for better accuracy. Over the next 5-10 seconds, begin pressing the tray onto the back teeth with your thumbs, then onto the front teeth. Make sure the inner walls of the mouthguard are pressed firmly against the teeth and gums, extending the inner rim and gel against the upper palate while adjusting the outer circumference with your fingers for a snug fit.

6. Bite and Shape: Close your mouth and bite firmly to create deep impressions of your teeth in the mouthguard. Press your tongue against the inner walls and suck firmly for 10 seconds. Continue applying pressure around the entire circumference of the mouthguard with your fingers for at least 60 seconds, using a firm bite. This pressure helps create a snug fit as the material cools, conforming closely to your teeth and gum line.

    

7. Cool in Ice Water: After ensuring the mouthguard is molded correctly, submerge it in ice water for at least 2 minutes to set the shape. Remove, shake off excess water, and dry with a towel. Test the fit by placing the mouthguard in your mouth; it should stay securely on your upper teeth even when your mouth is open.

    

8. Adjust as Needed: If the fit isn't perfect, repeat steps 1 through 7 to make any necessary adjustments, ensuring the mouthguard provides the best possible protection and comfort.

Some punching mitts, particularly micro mitts or hook and jab pads, are smaller than regular boxing mitts.

These punching mitts are smaller because they are designed to improve a boxer's speed, precision, and accuracy, rather than simply absorbing powerful punches.

The smaller size forces the boxer to focus on hitting a smaller target. This, in turn, helps refine their technique, precision, and reaction time.

Advantages of small punching mitts (micro pads):

• Focus and accuracy: Smaller punching mitts, such as micro focus mitts, require the boxer to be more precise with their punches. This helps develop better accuracy and timing.
• Speed training: The smaller surface area of micro punching mitts allows for faster punch combinations, improving the boxer's overall speed and reaction time.
• Less padding: Compared to regular and larger boxing mitts, micro focus mitts typically have less padding. This means the trainer holding the pads can expend less energy keeping them elevated and focus more on the actual training.
• Specific exercises: Smaller punching mitts are often used for specific exercises focused on speed and accuracy. Larger mitts are more suitable for developing power and absorbing heavy impacts.

Punching mitts are primarily used for practicing quick punches, combinations, and defensive techniques.

They are designed to help the practitioner develop speed, precision, reflexes, fitness, and coordination. Hand pads are also portable and easy to use, making them ideal for one-on-one training sessions.

Use of punching mitts:

• Improve precision and technique
• Improve speed and reflexes
• Improve strength and endurance
• Improve coverage and defense
• Simulate realistic combat simulation safely
• Reduce injuries

The weight of hand mitts isn't necessarily a matter of build quality. Some very light mitts (such as Rival Airpads) are incredibly durable.

Lighter punching mitts are especially beneficial for prolonged use by a trainer, but a bit of weight is usually desirable, and heavier pads are somewhat sturdier.

However, this isn't always the case, and varies by brand and price range. We've weighed all the punching mitts in our range and included this information in a size chart for each product!

Micro pads are extra-small hand pads.

These are smaller and lighter than regular hand pads and are ideal for very fast pad work.

They are generally used by advanced fighters.

Some kicking shields are slightly curved, as opposed to their typically straight shape. The idea behind this is to better mimic the body's natural shape and the way kicks and punches are absorbed.

Some trainers believe this makes for a more comfortable and effective workout.

Reasons for the slight curve in kicking shields:

• Better force absorption: The curved shape of kicking pads helps better absorb the impact of kicks and punches. This reduces the pressure on the arms and shoulders of the person holding the pad.
• Natural posture: The pad follows the body's natural shape, resulting in a more comfortable position when absorbing kicks and punches.
• Improved grip: The curved shape can also contribute to better grip and stability of the pad. This makes it easier for the trainer/partner to hold the pad.
• Reduced injuries: Due to the improved shock absorption and more natural posture, the curved pad can help prevent injuries for both the trainer and the person training.
• Realistic training: The curved shape of the kicking pad also makes training more realistic, as it allows you to better imitate the movements of a real opponent.

Both are useful in any training, let's be clear about that.

However, there are differences and situations where you might prefer a hard or soft kicking pad.

Soft kicking pads are generally more suitable for beginners than hard kicking pads. Beginners aren't yet accustomed to hitting objects/other people with their body parts like shins and feet. They simply aren't as hardened or conditioned in that area. Soft pads simply cause less pain for the person performing the technique.

However, there can also be disadvantages to (too) soft kicking pads for beginners. Take, for example, a front kick with your toes tucked up. If the pad is too soft, your toes could get caught in it, causing (unnecessary) injuries.

Another disadvantage of soft kicking pads can be that you simply kick through it, thus inflicting (unnecessary) pain on the person holding the pad.

Hard kicking pads are especially suitable if you already have a good command of the techniques, allowing you to execute them at (almost) full power without causing too much damage to your partner. Hard kicking pads generally absorb more impact. This can make a huge difference, especially with true "power kicks" like a back kick.

However, if you kick a hard kicking pad incorrectly (for example, with a roundhouse kick, your instep/foot is not positioned correctly), you'll also notice the pain.

Soft kick shields:

• Good for beginners
• Better for getting used to
• Be careful not to kick through

Hard kick shields:

• Good for advanced fighters
• Can be kicked with full force
• Less forgiving with incorrect technique

Thai pads, also known as kick pads or pao, are larger, elongated pads held by a trainer to practice both punches and powerful kicks.

They are typically made of thick foam and have a sturdy handle on the back for the trainer to hold.

Thai pads are designed to help the practitioner practice powerful kicks, such as cross kicks, high kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes.

Target Paddles or Focus Paddles are much less stressful on the trainer's hands, wrists, and elbows than regular hand pads.

In the long run, this also significantly reduces the strain on the shoulders, which must absorb the impact of the punches.

Besides the aforementioned advantages, the trainer can also more easily and effectively correct their fighters on defense, distance, and, of course, sharpen their reaction time. This also contributes to the precision of the fighter's punches.

Training sticks are modern and effective tools for boxing and MMA to improve technique, distance, speed, precision, and reflexes.

They are used by a coach/partner who holds the sticks while the other person practices and/or dodges punches.

The trainer can quickly point the sticks in various locations. This allows you to significantly test your reaction speed.

Many other martial artists and trainers have also discovered training with these types of sticks. They are also increasingly used by traditional boxing trainers and personal trainers. As a trainer, you don't have to constantly absorb blows with your hands and wrists, as you do with hand pads.

The standard size for adult bandages is 180", which is approximately 450 cm. This is also by far the most popular length.

Training with a speedball improves your hand-eye coordination, punching speed, accuracy, and reflexes.

It also provides cardiovascular training and strengthens your shoulder endurance. A speedball is an indispensable training tool for developing key boxing skills, such as timing, reaction time, and endurance.

Improving these aspects of your skills directly translates into better performance in the ring.

The answer to this question is quite simple: "The smaller the ball, the higher the boxer's skill level and the required technique."

Training with a speedball already requires good basic technique and advanced boxing skills, and the smaller the ball, the higher the boxer's technical requirements.

A double-end ball is installed using two mounting points: one on the ceiling and one on the floor. Ceiling hooks are easiest, but with a bit of creativity, you can try other methods.

A very practical and convenient method is to use a hook in the ceiling and an anchor on the floor. This way, you don't have to drill into the floor.

Use elastic cords (sometimes included) to secure the ball to both points. Make sure the cords are tight enough to hold the ball in place, but also flexible enough to move when you hit it.

Yes.

This double-ended ball comes with two elastic cords. We also have extra-thick replacement elastic cords available in our webshop.

No.

This double-end ball is supplied without elastic cords. We do have extra-thick elastic cords available in our webshop for complete installation.

The double-end ball anchors are very useful for installing a double-end ball, but you can also attach a heavy bag to them. The punching bag will then swing much less, which is beneficial during intensive training sessions.

Advantages of the double-end ball anchor:

• Easy to install (just fill it and you're done)
• No need to drill into the ground
• Easy to move
• Versatile in use (double-end ball and heavy punching bag)

Also read our blogs: Training with a punching bag is an effective workout for strength and endurance and How to train on a punching bag?

To hang a punching bag, first determine the correct mounting location, choose a sturdy mounting system, and hang the punching bag at the correct height. Ensure the system is stable and safe.

How to proceed:

• Determine the location: Choose a spot with sufficient space around the punching bag, allowing you to move freely around it. Ensure a sturdy surface to which the punching bag can be attached, such as a concrete ceiling, a sturdy beam, or a load-bearing wall.
• Choose a mounting system: You can choose between a ceiling bracket (hook) or a wall mount. A ceiling bracket is often the best option for stability and offers more flexibility. Ensure the mounting system can support the weight of the punching bag, including the movements it makes during training.
• Attach the mounting system: Drill holes in the ceiling or wall (depending on your chosen system) and securely attach the bracket or support with the appropriate screws or bolts.
• Hang the punching bag: Attach the punching bag's chains or hanging cord to the mounting system. Adjust the height: Ideally, the top of the punching bag should be approximately 10 cm higher than your height, plus the length of the chains if necessary. Also, ensure the punching bag is at least 30 cm off the ground.
• Check the stability: Gently shake the punching bag to ensure the system is sturdy enough.

The length of the punching bag naturally depends on the training you intend to do on it. For example, if you're going to box, a bag between 100 cm and 150 cm is ideal. If the focus is on kicking and punching, such as kickboxing, a bag between 150 cm and 180 cm is recommended. A short punching bag will swing faster and more easily during kicks, unlike a heavier bag, which naturally stays in position more easily due to its weight.

A punching bag spring is used to absorb and dampen the shock of hitting the punching bag.

This not only protects the punching bag and its suspension but also reduces noise pollution.

Punching bags are usually filled with a combination of materials to provide the right amount of cushioning and weight for the user. Common fillings include fabric scraps, sand, and rubber. There is also a version of the punching bag filled with water, but this is called an "Aquabag."

No.

Leaving your punching bag outside isn't good for it. Direct sunlight, heat, and rain can damage it. Moisture can also cause mold in the filling and rust chains.

You can give it a try, but preferably under a roof and, after use, cover it with large rubble bags, for example.

No, not really.

But even without rain, it's humid outside.

The chains can rust over time, and moisture can cause mold in the filling.

You can use a punching bag outside, but preferably under a roof and, after use, cover it with large rubble bags, for example. Even better is to take it inside after use to a dry, ventilated area.

No.

We are unable to deliver punching bags. You can, however, order them online and pick them up at our showroom.

The base of a standing punchingbag is easy to fill with sand or water. If you use water, we recommend replacing it periodically and/or adding a chlorine tablet.

Standing punching bags are often already filled on the punching/impact area; otherwise, it's best to fill it with fabric scraps.

For punching bags:

A swivel (also called a swivel) on a punching bag allows the bag to rotate freely. This has the advantage that the forces exerted on the punching bag are less direct and intense, extending the lifespan of the punching bag.

For speedballs:

These swivels are specifically designed for speedball training and contain ball bearings for smoother rotation.

The Victory Sports stainless steel punching bag spring can carry punching bags weighing up to approximately 65 kg.

The Victory Sports stainless steel wall mount is suitable for almost all standard punching bags.

The wall mount has been tested with punching bags up to 70 kg.

• You can use a mild detergent, but rinse the gel wraps thoroughly to avoid soap residue.
• Allow the gel wraps to dry completely after washing before using them again.

No.

Gel wraps are a good alternative to traditional boxing handwraps or gauze. Gel wraps are like inner gloves, usually with extra padding on the knuckles.

You put the gel wraps on like a fingerless glove. Then you wrap the band around your wrists to provide support. The band closes with an easy-to-use hook-and-loop closure.

Gel wraps can replace handwraps. Gel wraps offer several advantages, which we've listed below.

Benefits of gel wraps:

• Extra protection for the knuckles
• Easy to apply
• Quick and easy to use
• Ideal for (hand) washing

Ankle guards are worn to provide extra support for the ankle. The added reinforcement reduces the risk of injury. They provide compression and also protect the vulnerable metatarsal bones.

Muay Thai fighters wear ankle guards to further protect their ankles from injury. They are one of the few permitted protective gear in Muay Thai fights.

In Thai boxing (and kickboxing like Glory, Enfusion, etc.), hand wraps, boxing gloves, a mouthguard, and a groin guard are worn. Nothing else. Shin guards are not permitted, but ankle guards are. These provide the little bit of protection fighters need.

Good ankle guards help strengthen the ankle and prevent it from collapsing during kicking or movement. Ankle guards also help absorb some shock, protecting the bones and joints in the ankle from damage.

Muay Thai ankle guards are essential for anyone serious about Muay Thai training. They provide support and protection for the ankles, which are vulnerable to injury during kicks and other movements.

There are many different brands and styles of Muay Thai ankle guards available, so choosing the right pair is crucial. Fortunately, we've already compiled a selection from many brands for you, which you can find in our webshop: collections >> ankle guards

It's also definitely a good idea to ask your trainer or training partners if they have any tips and which ones they would recommend.

A knuckle guard provides additional cushioning against the impact of punching. This also reduces the risk of injury to your knuckles, metacarpals, wrists, and elbows.

Therefore, it's ideal for providing extra protection for your knuckles during intense punching and boxing.

We discuss this further in our blog: Why do boxers and kickboxers use knuckle guards?

No.

Knuckle guards are intended for extra knuckle protection, for example, if you experience pain while throwing hard punches.

Knuckle guards are perfect for combining with handwraps, providing maximum protection for your knuckles and proper support for your wrists.

The Booster Gel Knuckle Guard, Winning Knuckle Guard NG2, and XPRT Knuckle Wraps Protect Gel are one-size-fits-all, so we've listed the dimensions below:

Knuckle guards: These are extra protective pieces worn over the knuckles, usually under traditional handwraps. They add an extra layer of protection during intense workouts or when your knuckles are prone to tenderness. Knuckle guards are thin and flexible, making them easy to combine with regular handwraps.

Gel wraps: They are a convenient alternative to handwraps, especially for beginners and children. They are easy to put on and feature a built-in gel pad for knuckle protection. They also provide light wrist support, making them suitable for recreational workouts or as a quick solution when you don't feel like wrapping handwraps.

Knuckle guards like those from Winning, Hayabusa, Rival, and XPRT feature gel padding.

Gel padding is a shock-absorbing layer that helps absorb impact during punches. This provides your knuckles with extra protection and better shock distribution, reducing the impact transmitted to your hand and wrist.

Belly pads and body protectors are crucial in boxing and kickboxing, for both fighters and coaches. They primarily help prevent injuries and increase training intensity.

Belly pads create more realistic sparring sessions by absorbing the impact of punches and kicks, allowing fighters to push their limits with the help of the trainer/coach. This, in turn, helps refine technique, build confidence, and allows coaches to provide more effective feedback.

Benefits of using body protectors:

• Increased training intensity: Coaches can push fighters harder, knowing they are protected from the full force of punches and kicks.
• Real-time feedback: Body protectors allow coaches to get up close and provide immediate feedback on technique and positioning during sparring.
• Improved coaching: Coaches can simulate realistic fight scenarios more effectively, allowing fighters to develop strategic thinking and adaptability.
• Protection and comfort: Coaches can wear body protectors to prevent injuries and fatigue, allowing them to conduct more effective and longer training sessions.

Yes.

All (and most other body armor) are available in one adjustable size: one size fits most.

Neoteric™ is a lightweight material primarily used in sportswear and casual wear. It's designed to wick sweat away from the skin, keeping the wearer cool and dry. It's a fabric known for its breathability and quick-drying properties.

Our special shirts are made of this material, and we're absolutely thrilled with them: they're comfortable to work out in, don't get soaking wet, barely wrinkle, and come out of the washing machine almost dry.

AeroDry technology, applied in clothing, creates a 3D structure that allows sweat to evaporate faster and improves airflow between the fabric and the skin.

Just run a regular colored wash cycle at 30 or 40 degrees Celsius. The shirts are very easy to use and follow the washing instructions.

Do not tumble dry! They also come out of a regular wash cycle almost dry and wrinkle-free.

To use Rapide Leather Grease, first clean the leather of dirt and sweat with a clean, dry cloth. Then, apply the leather grease with a cloth or sponge and rub it in thoroughly and gently.

Let it soak in (a few minutes to half an hour) and rub away any excess grease with a clean cloth if necessary. Regular use keeps the leather supple and water-repellent.

Tips:

• Always test the leather grease on an inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn't affect the color or finish of the leather.
• For best results, use Rapide Leather Grease regularly, especially on leather boxing gloves or headguards.
• Rapide Leather Grease is suitable for all types of leather, including smooth leather, suede, and nubuck.

Always test in an inconspicuous area, especially on a new piece of leather!

A cold pack is used for cooling, primarily for acute sports injuries such as sprains, bruises, strains, and swelling. It helps reduce pain and swelling by constricting blood vessels and numbing nerves.

When is the best time to use a cold pack?

• For acute injuries: sprains, bruises, strains, dislocations, and hematomas.
• To reduce swelling: Cooling helps constrict blood vessels, which reduces swelling.
• Pain relief: Cooling the skin can numb nerves, reducing pain.
• During sports injuries and rehabilitation: Cooling is an effective method for reducing muscle soreness, stiffness, and swelling after an injury or intense exercise.

How do you use a cold pack?

• Cool the cold pack: Place the cold pack in the freezer or freezer compartment of your refrigerator.
• Protect the skin: Wrap the cold pack in a thin cloth or towel to avoid direct contact with the skin and prevent frostbite.
• Apply to the injury: Place the cold pack on the painful or swollen area.
• Cold therapy: Preferably use the cold pack for 15-20 minutes at a time, with breaks in between to allow the skin to heal.

Important: Always consult a doctor or physiotherapist for serious injuries.

A cooling spray, such as Cryos Spray, is a first aid solution for minor injuries such as sprains, strains, and bruises. It quickly cools the affected area, helping to reduce pain and inflammation.

For effective use, shake the can well before use and spray the affected area from a distance of approximately 20 cm. Spray for a few seconds until a fine powder or a white layer appears on the skin, then stop to prevent overuse and possible frostbite. Repeat if necessary, but avoid overspray.

Important notes:

• Avoid sensitive areas: Do not spray near eyes, mouth, or other sensitive areas.
• Avoid damaged or irritated skin: Do not apply to open wounds or irritated skin.
• Beware of frostbite: Excessive use may cause frostbite. Stop spraying if the skin becomes white and numb.
• Consult a doctor: Consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Boxers use Vaseline to make the skin on their faces smoother and more supple.

This reduces chafing, which reduces cuts. Any bleeding from cuts will also be more controlled.

Vaseline creates a layer that minimizes friction with the skin, making cuts more difficult to cause. This also reduces the risk of a match being stopped due to a serious cut.

The main reason for using Vaseline in (kick)boxing matches:

• Prevents cuts: The main reason is to prevent or reduce the severity of cuts. Vaseline makes the skin more supple and allows punches to slide off more easily.
• Reduces friction: It creates a layer that reduces friction between the boxer's face and the opponent's glove, preventing the skin from tearing.
• Reduces swelling: Vaseline can also help reduce swelling by keeping the skin soft and supple.
• Reduced bleeding: By reducing cuts and keeping the skin more supple, there will also be less bleeding from small wounds.

Yes.

Vaseline works well for caring for leather products (such as boxing gloves): To prevent cracking and restore shine, apply a thin layer of Vaseline to leather boxing gloves, head guards, or shin guards with a clean, soft cloth.

The Rival RHG30 is undoubtedly the most popular model.

This is partly due to its reasonable mid-range price and partly due to its impressive features, such as the perfect fit, optimal vision, and thick cheekbone pads.

Also read our Best Buy guide for head guards under €200, where this head guard also takes the top prize!

This is a battle between the Guerrero and the RHG100 models. Both are fabulous, truly top-notch head guards with their own strengths.

The RHG100 is our slight favorite due to its extremely low weight. However, the new—and also very lightweight—Guerrero head guard is highly praised for its small cheekbone padding and unparalleled visibility.

Also read our Best Buy guide for top-notch head guards over €200, which also extensively reviews the RHG100 Professional head guard.

Rival's top-of-the-line headguards – the RHG100 Professional – are made according to Rival Boxing Gear's Feather-Lite philosophy.

Feather-Lite essentially encompasses two principles:

1. Maximum performance and protection
2. Lightest possible materials

Rival Boxing Gear strives to incorporate the Feather-Lite principles into as many products as possible: offering our athletes, customers, and professional fighters maximum performance and protection combined with the lightest possible materials.

The Rival RHG10 is equipped with the unique Intelli-Shock D3O™.

Intelli-Shock D3O™ is the best shock-absorbing padding in the world.

Rival Boxing Gear was the first—and is currently the only—company in the boxing world to use it.

With Intelli-Shock, you get the same protection with approximately a quarter (6 mm) or an eighth (3 mm) inch of Intelli-Shock padding as with approximately one inch (25 mm) of other padding. This is because it uses Intelligent Shock Absorption™, a patented shock-absorbing material developed with Intelligent Molecules.

At low speeds, the molecules in D3O™ flow freely, making it soft and flexible, while at high speeds, the molecules combine to form an excellent shock absorber. D3O™ offers significantly more protection than conventional foams, making it the perfect solution for improving the internal protection of equipment and accessories.

D3O® is an innovative material with extreme shock absorption! Unlike other cushioning materials, D3O® maintains its durable performance for the lifespan of items like head protection. It is also used in protective clothing for extreme sports, such as ice hockey.

A kickboxing headguard should fit snugly, yet be somewhat comfortable, and allow for a full field of vision without slipping or shifting.

The guard should sit securely on the forehead, just above the eyebrows, and not obstruct vision or breathing.

Preferably, the headguard should also be adjustable to ensure a good fit and prevent shifting during training or competition.
