Hello my name is Joe 'doc Huston and I am
here at my friend's gym in Portland, Oregon
to share some tricks, tactics and strategies
to help you get the most out of your boxing
career.
So there is a lot to know about boxing gloves.
The first thing you should be aware of is
that there is a few different kinds of boxing
gloves.
There is bag gloves, there is sparring gloves
and there is finally the fight gloves.
Now I would recommend getting to know the
different types of gloves out there and also
selecting the one with your own personal preference.
So the simplest kind of bag gloves, and the
lightest, is just the old standard leather
with no cushion whatsoever.
The advantages of that is that it more easily
transmits the impact of the hit into your
hand so that first of all you'd be able to
judge the quality of the hit and second of
all because it transmits more of an impact
into your hand, that aid in the toughening
process.
The next type of bag glove is just a little
bit of cushion in it.
They are a little bit heavier than the first
and it's more comfortable for the longer workouts.
And the third type of bag glove are heavy
with a tremendous amount of cushion and those
who go through building muscular strength
and endurance.|
