Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves Review

May 18, 2015 by Alan R Leave a Comment

If you are training in Krav Maga or a variety of other martial arts, there’s a good chance you will find yourself sparring or hitting the heavy bag at some time.  There’s no better way to refine your techniques than through practice and hitting the heavy bag is a great way to practice your punching and kicking technique.  Today, let’s talk about training gloves.  Although you can use these for sparring (so you can put your training partner’s headgear to good use) we’ll be talking about how you can use the Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves to help with your conditioning training and bag work.

Overview

everlast-pro-style-training-glovesThe Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves are a great addition to your training equipment.  They come in a variety of weights (mine are 12 oz) and include an attached thumb for safety and a mesh palm for quicker drying.  The wrist wraps are a little short, making it a little tough to put on the gloves yourself but overall, these training gloves do a great job.

Pros

  • Good quality and inexpensive
  • Mesh palm for quick drying
  • Attached thumb

Cons

  • Wrist strap is short, making it a little difficult to put on the gloves yourself
  • Made from vinyl, not leather

Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves – Full Review

Let’s face it; hitting someone with big, cushy gloves can be great fun.  That is, until they start hitting back.  The right gloves can be the difference between a challenging sparring match or a down right beating.  The bigger you or your partners are, the bigger your gloves need to be.  Although they come in a variety of weights, most men will use 16 oz gloves for sparring and either 12 oz or 14 oz for bag work.  Women will often use 12 oz or 14 oz for sparring and either the same or a little lighter for bag work.

April 13, 2015 by Alan R Leave a Comment

If you are training in Krav Maga or a variety of other martial arts, there’s a good chance you will find yourself sparring at some time.  There is no better way to refine your techniques than through practice and sparring is a great way to practice.  Since you will be punching and kicking someone else and having the same done to you, safety gear is important.  Today, we’ll look at a very important bit of gear, your headgear.  We all need to protect the part of our body that runs all the other part and for me, I rely on the Title Pro Full Face Training Headgear.

Sparring in Krav Maga can be extremely challenging, great fun, and at times, dangerous.  We wear safety gear, such as 16oz boxing gloves, shin pads, mouth pieces, and headgear.  There are many options for headgear in the market but the one I decided on was the Title Pro Full Face Training Headgear.  For more specifics about this headgear, head over to Amazon or check out the Title MMA/Title Boxing website.

*** UPDATE ***

The campaign is over and unfortunately, it was not funded (needed to sell 10 shirts, only 3 sold).  It was a nice experiment that did not work out.  One day I’ll roll it back out and see if it is successful.  Thanks to all those who visited the page, even if you didn’t buy.

If you want to be notified when these (or other) t-shirts go back on sale, drop me a note.

*****************************************

Krav Maga is a great self-defense system that utilizes natural body movements and targets vulnerable parts of the body to keep you safe.  One of the important ideas within the system is retzef which is often defined as follows:

Retzef: continuous combat motion to overwhelm the enemy

Bare your Krav Maga teeth and show the world your retzef with this shirt.

Powered by teespring

(full disclosure:  This is my campaign and if you order and the shirt is funded, I receive a small amount of profit.  The money doesn’t really matter, I just want the shirt)

If you like the design, leave me a comment.  Even if you don’t order a shirt, I’d appreciate your feedback on the design.
