Basic Boxing Training Equipment And Gear

In a contact sport like boxing, proper equipment and gears are essential. Here are the things you need to have when training for boxing.

Gloves – A pair of boxing gloves that is both comfortable and fitted to the boxer's hands are essential. Laces should not be tightly (but not too tightly) tied around the gloves at the wrist. Cut off any lace tips that are hanging off the gloves before sparring. Laces should also be wrapped with tape and the gloves covered with a thin layer of petroleum jelly.

Handwraps – Handwraps reduces the boxer's hand injury both on training and in actual boxing match. Make sure that an expert demonstrates the proper way of wrapping the hands. If it is not available, remember that the fingers must be separated to allow freedom of movement and the knuckles should be padded evenly.

Headguard – There is a continuous debate about whether boxing headgear prevents head injuries or not. Still, there is no question that a proper fitting headgear reduces the risk of cuts, bruises and other eye injuries. A good headgear must snug comfortably and properly that a blow would not move it and obstruct your vision.

Mouthguards – You can buy a mouthpiece for 2 dollars but that doesn't mean you should buy it. In fact, the worst thing you could do is to buy the cheapest mouthpiece your money can buy. The mouthpiece you should have is the type that is molded fit to your mouth. The extra amount you pay should be enough to prevent any possible injuries and damages to your gums, teeth and lips.

No-Foul Protector – Wearing a no-foul protector during training is as important as wearing a mouthpiece. If a mouthpiece protects your from any possible mouth injuries, wearing a no-foul protects you from the damage that can be dame by a low blow.

Shoes – Boxing shoes are different from your conventional snickers and other rubber-soled shoes. Boxing shoes are lighter, leather soled and provide excellent ankle support. Wearing shoes other than those that are truly made for boxing make you look awkward when moving around the ring. Non-boxing shoes also increases the risk of ankle injuries and increases your legs fatigue level significantly.

Jump rope –A regular jump rope exercise helps improve coordination, agility, speed, footwork and endurance. A good jump rope can cost under $5.

Training Apparel - Commercially sold training apparels are designed to give you maximum comfort while on the ring.

Boxing Bags – You can either make it your own or buy in a store. Boxing bags are usually made of canvas or vinyl. Other bags are made of leather. The earliest form of punching bags is made from kangaroo skin. Home-made punching bags can be a simple duffle bag filled with sand. The material which the bag is made of is really not that important as long as it is durable and can withstand daily use. Boxing bags are effective training equipment if you want to improve your punching strength, increase your stamina, and practice punch combination.

Speed Bags – Speed bags are either mounted on the wall or in a free-standing floor frame. Whichever you choose, it can provide loads of benefits including increased hand-eye coordination, improved reflexes and increased strength.

Speed bags also improve endurance and stamina.

Just got a Tiganello bag, how to protect it?

For my 3rd Anniversary this weekend my hubby got me a red Tiganello Hobo (traditional gift for third anniversary is leather). I had a red leather bag once before and when I applied a leather protector to it the bag got these awful looking brownish greyish spots all over it. Now I a little nervous about treating my new bag-I don't want to ruin it. But having a toddler and going out in bad weather all have me worried that not treating it could be bad. Has anyone treated one of these and what did you use?
It is a brand new bag-our anniversary was this weekend. I need to know what to put on it now to keep it in good shape. Since the other bag I had was damaged by the spray on protectant (it was a Liz &Co bag) and was also red leather I am not sure what to use.

Clean the outside with saddle soap. Don't just rub it on, use it with a damp rag as if it were soap, then rub the leather dry. By this time you are probably ready to enhance the look with a leather treatment.

Don't use silicone or any product intended for, or used on shoes. Some things rub off on your clothes, some darken, some shine. Chances are that even after 2 years, unless you have repeatedly gotten the leather wet, it won't really have to have something on it to keep the leather from cracking. You can tell from the feel if the leather is getting stiff or not. If it is, it's time for a leather conditioner. Or... just buy a new one... it's probably time for a change anyway

If the leather stays dry it will give you years of use. What really destroys leather is mold growing on the leather. It feeds on the fibers, eventually the leather goes dry and powdery similar to dry rot in wood. Just putting on oil will not repair the leather. If it gets wet it will eventually need to have the oil in the leather restored for looks and flexibility, but more importantly it should not be left in a damp enclosed environment where mold can grow. Dry the leather, out of the sun, preferably in a room with a dehumidifier. Lay it out in the shape you want it to be until dry.

When applying oils, conditioners, silicones, etc make sure that they do not have a solvent in them. Most leather is made with water based finishes. If an oil or conditioner has a solvent in it, the solvent could destroy the finish.

I have a Tignanello black briefcase/satchel. I have never used anything on it except saddle soap. I use it daily and it is softer than it was when I bought it 6 years ago. Of course, it doesn't show spots and use like your red tote might, but using saddle soap cannot hurt. Try it on a small area on the bottom of your Hobo. That's an area where spots will show up first.
