New Boxing Glove Idea, Let me hear your thoughts

[TruImpact]

Hey guys. So for a while now I've been thinking of a new type of boxing glove product and I finally started to do some real research into it. the product is a glove that incorporates technology to provide easy statistics measurement during training. I'd really appreciate getting some feedback from some actual boxers or just people who box casually/for fitness. If you want to learn more about it/help me out, please take my survey:

Survey | Qualtrics Survey Software

If you have any questions about the product or want to talk about it further let me know.

Thank you in advance to those who fill it out!

Done.

This would be a good tool for measuring fitness progress, like how many punches a round you can throw. I wouldnt care less about my heart rate or calories burned and any oth more serious boxers rather than someone training for fitness wouldnt care either. A fighter only wants to know how many punches they can throw. I dont think a power measurment would be any good either as it would mean some kind of sensor in the front of the glove and would either break with use, get dislodged or uncomfortable. All it needs is something you can look at after to see what your performance was over the different rounds you did on the bags.

Its a good idea


The problem i have with it is i spend about £30 a time on gloves, they are decent quality, usually vip and that is at a cheaper rate than retail

The last set i bought about 6 months ago and they are knackered, i am long over due a new pair

So say gloves last 6 months, is it practical to replace these every 6 months? Would i pay double the amont that regularly to find out how many punches i am throwing?

I haven't time to read the link today ,but from what you say there, it would be great if a slip on device could be made that can be moved from one set of gloves to the next.

Yeah I had considered something like this as well, I may look more into that. To address the durability issue, I would hope to make a quality glove that would last years rather than months as stated above. There is always the fragility of the technology in the glove to consider, but if it had no force sensor then it should be fairly durable and still able to track the number of punches thrown/missed, heart rate, and calories.

It's a great idea and personally, I believe that this technonogy integration is in par with what the future reserves. You should do both, or consider building gloves with other more durable material like kevlar or something similar. If it's not for fighting but for training and statistics, there is no reasons why you could use something else than leather and that couldn't be as good to practice

Try buying a pair of cleto reyes gloves there the best ive ever had mine are about 4 years old not used them in about a year, but the 3 years before that i used them at least 4 times a week and they still have plenty of life left in them.
