Boxing Training

 

If you are considering taking up boxing, or boxing training just for fitness, you are going to need to invest in a good pair of gloves. The type of gloves you will need depends on various factors. You will also need to consider the type of boxing you will be learning; for instance, kickboxing requires different gloves than traditional boxing. You can also find boxing gloves for martial arts as well, best place to find them is at a New zealand run website called JitsuShop.com, follow the link at the bottom of the page.

If you are looking to get into traditional boxing, you are going to want to find a pair of gloves which fit snugly on your hands. You don't want them to be too tight or too loose. As long as you aren't planning on getting into competitions anytime soon, a lightweight glove is your best bet. Lighter gloves make it easier to make a fist and throw better punches.

For kickboxing, you can probably use the same style of gloves as traditional boxing unless you are looking to join a cardio kickboxing class. Cardio kickboxing classes are more for getting a good physical workout and you will probably want heavier Boxing gloves. Making a fist is not as important in cardio kickboxing so it is okay if the gloves aren't as easy to bend.

Also if you are just starting out in mma and you dont like the idea of being hit with mma gloves, start out with a pair of smaller boxing gloves.
