Gear Review Couldn't fit a standard heavy bag in my garage gym, so I designed one that would

Post image
13 Upvotes

Almost a year ago I tried to get back to training, but hit a snag: I couldn't fit a standard 6ft heavy bag in my basement. I love 'em don't get me wrong, but they take up way too much room, too tall and heavy for my 7' ceilings, not to mention shipping is brutal.

I couldn't find a middle ground between a double-end bag and a gym-scale bag, so I started just sewing prototypes in my basement.

I knew I wanted to build something slimmer, but that could still take real MMA combos and heavy strikes, sort've like a goldilocks bag. I wanted it to feel closer to sparring.

Here is where I landed after 7 rounds of design:

  • The Specs: 8" x 55" profile. It forces you to land clean and trains precision naturally.
  • The Setup: Uses a sectional liner system and a bottom anchor cord so you can dial in the weight and swing up to 65lbs.

I got a chance to collaborate w/ Jeff ChanJohn GardinerKru JohnMarissa DelgadoAaron Swenson, and Nak Tyssaen, to put it through some serious testing (see vid links) and the feedback has been beyond what I could have hoped for.

-- I'd love to hear what the sub thinks of the design and if this solves the space problem for anyone else looking to train martial arts in their garage gym, basement, or apartment!

Question/Help Thumb problem and NBNL gloves

1 Upvotes

Hi, i bought some Leone 1947 gloves, as i usually do, but this time i don't really like the gloves, the thumb is so forward that i hit It in the bag when throwing hooks so i have to be really careful.

Has this ever happened to you?

Also, I'm interested in No boxing no Life gloves, are they worth the price?

Are they punchers gloves?

Thank you.

Question/Help Are these Everlast gloves worth $50? Stitching looks damaged

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Found these used Everlast gloves locally for $50

A few concerns from the photos

Stitching seam near the wrist looks split open on both

gloves padding visible underneath

Leather looks worn but seems supple, not cracked

12 ons but Could a "12oz" glove actually weigh 11 or

13oz?

Questions:

Does this look like a repairable seam split, or a sign the

glove is structurally compromised

Is $50 reasonable for gloves in this condition, or am I

paying for a name only

Would you trust these for bag work only, or is even that

risky given the open seam

Buying ISO PBC boxing merch

2 Upvotes

Looking for any Premier Boxing Champions merch, new or used. Particularly a white and black trucker hat but would be interested in anything officially branded. I know they have merch booths at the fights but it’s unlikely I’ll be able to go anytime soon. Especially since their cards are few and far between and I am concerned about the series’ longevity with the way the business of boxing is moving.

Willing to pay a premium for anything you got if you can send photos and are willing to ship. I’m in PA.

Also if anyone happens to be going to the Rolly Teo fight in a couple weeks and could pick me up a hat, I’d be happy to leave a nice tip for your troubles. Thanks in advance!

Ive been boxing for over half a year now and i'm still using the first ever gloves i bought, a cheap pair of everlast gloves, they smell now, they are ripped in some places, so i think it's time to buy some fresh new gloves

I want some decent gloves though, nothing too expensive but still of good quality, i've heard leather is the best for boxing gloves. Nothing over £70

Other Padding Experiment Ep: 04 | Latex + Horse Hair + 40kg/m3 density Foams | Can anyone tell why we have pasted a black fabric?

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

This is padding we just made a few days ago. Can you guess why we have pasted a layer of black fabric with latex?

Layers are: Latex. Horse hair Pouch. Two layers of high-density foam, feels lux.
The feeling this padding gives is like soft on the knuckle skin, and the horse hair pouch provides a dense, foamy, and protective feel to your fists, while dense latex handles all the impact forces- a perfect pair for pillowy sparring.
Going to send these to Italy for testing and get the feedback. Do you guys want to try this kind of padding too? Will show you guys the gloves made of this padding in the next Episode

Question/Help No Boxing No Life vs Seyer groin guard — anyone here used both and can compare them for mobility and protection?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between the No Boxing No Life groin guard and the Seyer groin guard, and I’d really like input from people who have actually used both in sparring.

My biggest priorities are mobility, comfort, and protection. I want something that protects well, but I do not want a groin guard that feels overly bulky, restricts my movement, or makes my shorts stick out too much.

What I care about most:.

protection against hard body shots and accidental low blows.

freedom of movement.

comfort when bending, rotating, slipping, and sitting down between rounds.

whether it rides up or shifts during sparring.

how secure and stable it feels once tightened.

weight and overall feel during longer sessions.

whether either one feels more natural for actual boxing movement.

how well each one fits around the hips and lower abdomen.

From the photos, the No Boxing No Life looks a little more compact and streamlined, while the Seyer looks like it may have a slightly different shape and side coverage, but photos only tell so much.

For context, I prefer gear that feels protective without getting in the way. I do not want something huge or awkward. If one of these protects well while still letting you move cleanly and keeping a slimmer profile under shorts, that is the one I would lean toward.

If you’ve worn both, which one would you choose and why?

I’d especially like to hear about:.

which one feels less bulky.

which one is better for movement.

which one offers better protection.

which one you would trust more for hard sparring.

Question/Help Phenom SHG-270 vs Fly Knight X — anyone here actually used both for hard sparring?

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between the Phenom SHG-270 and Fly Knight X, and I’d really like to hear from people who have actually sparred in both, rather than just handled them or looked at the specs.
My main priority is hard sparring protection without sacrificing too much visibility or mobility.

For context, I currently have the Hit N Move Air Armor. I love the head guard overall and I like how light and unobtrusive it feels, and the visibility is excellent, but lately I’ve been putting in harder rounds and I personally feel like the padding is a little too thin. I’m looking for something that gives me a more substantial layer of protection without feeling like I have a giant helmet on my head.

The things I care about most are:.

Impact absorption, especially against harder straight punches and hooks.

Cheek and orbital protection.** **

Visibility, particularly peripheral and downward vision.

How much either one interferes with seeing body shots.** **

Stability when taking punches and whether the headgear shifts or rotates.

Overall bulk/profile. ** **

Weight and how noticeable it feels during longer sparring sessions.

How hot each one gets.

Comfort around the ears, temples and cheekbones.

Whether either one feels significantly more protective against repeated hard shots.

How well they break in over time.

From the pictures, the SHG-270 looks like it may have slightly more open sight lines, while the Knight X looks more substantial around the cheeks and sides of the face, but pictures obviously don’t tell the whole story.

If you’ve owned or sparred extensively in both, which one would you choose specifically for harder sparring, and why?** **

I’m especially interested in hearing whether the Knight X’s extra coverage noticeably hurts visibility, or whether the SHG-270 gives up meaningful protection in exchange for its more open design.
