Okay, here’s my blog post about my experience with title boxing focus mitts:
Alright, so I’ve been getting into boxing lately, just for fitness, you know? And my buddy, he’s way more experienced, he told me I gotta get some focus mitts. He recommended the Title Boxing ones, said they were good quality for the price. So, I went and got a pair.
First Impressions
When I first got them, I thought, “Okay, these are pretty thick.” They felt solid, you know? Like they could take a beating. The material, it’s like this synthetic leather, it felt tough, not cheap. I definitely appreciated the wrist support. It’s got this extra padding that wraps around, which is good, ’cause my wrists are kinda weak.
Getting Started
First time using them, I was a bit clumsy. My buddy was throwing punches, and I was, like, fumbling around, trying to catch them. It took a few rounds to get the hang of it. It’s all about timing and positioning. It’s not just about holding them up; you gotta move with the punches, absorb the impact.
- I messed up the angles at first.
- I held them too still.
- My wrists got tired quickly before I get used to it.
The Learning Curve
After a couple of sessions, I started getting better. I figured out how to angle the mitts to deflect the punches, not just block them. It’s like, you’re guiding the punch, not just stopping it. And that wrist support? It’s a lifesaver. My buddy’s got some power, and my wrists weren’t killing me after, which was great.
I started to see some improvements:
- Better hand-eye coordination:I got faster with the mitts.
- Improved reaction time: I learned to anticipate the punches.
- Stronger forearms:That was from holding the mitts up for extended periods.
My Routine
Now, I usually do about three rounds with the mitts, a few times a week. We mix it up. Sometimes we focus on speed, other times on power. We’ll do jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, the whole nine yards. It’s a killer workout, let me tell you. I’m sweating buckets by the end of it.
Overall Thoughts
I think those title mitts are great for beginner, they’re holding up well. No rips or tears. And they’re comfortable, even after a long session. If you’re just starting out, like me, I’d say they’re a good investment. It will helps improve your boxing skills.
