Generally, good headgear will have both a strap on the back of the head and a pouch to keep your chin seated correctly behind the protective padding.\n-Open vs Closed Face - This refers to headgear that leaves the front of the face exposed vs headgear that keeps part of the face protected, usually with a foam bar spanning across the nose. Both are good, I tend to prefer open headgear because it's easier to breathe but if you know you have a nose that is prone to breaking or if you plan on doing full-force sparring, close-faced is best.\n-Adequate Padding - This is extremely important. Boxing headgear is supposed to be bulky because it’s there to absorb impact. You want a good, thick layer of padding at least ½ inch thick at the thinnest area.\n-Not Too Firm, Not Too Soft - You want the headgear to feel firm but with some give. If it's too soft, it won’t be able to absorb and slow impact effectively. If it's too hard, it won’t be able to dissipate the force and will instead allow kinetic force to transfer to your head. ","What should you look for when buying boxing headgear?",{"_uid":1120,"answer":1121,"question":1122,"component":670},"3ab2c158-fe3d-40a2-bf9f-e0d779dede93","Three of our picks for the best headgear on the market currently are:\n-Venum Challenger 2.0\nThis is a great middle-of-the-road headgear, with robust cheek pads and a thick forehead bar, it offers a good compromise between true open-faced or close-faced headgear. This is actually the headgear I wear when sparring, the only issue I’ve ever had is that the inner lining can catch your hair a bit if you keep it longer.\n\n-Winning Full Face Headgear\nWinning is one of the best boxing vendors on the market, and they have delivered here again. Sporting a full padded crossbar on both the nose and the forehead as well as full chin protection, if you’re looking for headgear to wear while full-force sparring, it doesn’t get better than this. Just be aware, Winning is never cheap.\n\n-Title Classic Face Protector 2.0\nTitle is a household name in the boxing world, producing quality goods at prices up and coming boxers can afford. This model is a classic closed-face headgear that offers adequate protection for sparring or contact drills, the only issue I’ve ever had is that the padding above the ear on these models can sometimes be just a little thin, but seeing as that is usually a no go zone in matches anyway, it shouldn’t be a problem as long as everyone is playing by the rules.\n\nThere are tons of small vendors and custom producers I didn’t cover here but these are great easily attainable models, but you should also always be on the lookout for something that matches your style and your body when it comes to something as vital as head protection.","What are some of the best boxing headgear on the market?",{"name":30,"created_at":31,"published_at":32,"updated_at":33,"id":34,"uuid":35,"content":1124,"slug":30,"full_slug":54,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":1136,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":58,"first_published_at":59,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1137,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":37,"name":38,"category":1125,"component":39,"meta_info":1133,"block_image":1134,"cover_image":1135,"internal_notes":7},{"name":19,"created_at":20,"published_at":21,"updated_at":22,"id":23,"uuid":24,"content":1126,"slug":19,"full_slug":132,"sort_by_date":48,"position":133,"tag_list":1131,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":136,"first_published_at":137,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1132,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":26,"name":27,"topics":1127,"component":118,"meta_info":1128,"meta_title":123,"block_image":1129,"cover_image":1130,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":131},[35,69,97],{"_uid":120,"title":121,"plugin":43,"description":122},{"id":125,"alt":126,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":126,"filename":127,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":129,"alt":126,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":126,"filename":130,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":41,"title":42,"plugin":43,"description":44},{"id":46,"alt":47,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":47,"filename":49,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":52,"alt":47,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":47,"filename":53,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],"efb09565-d096-488b-8f7f-7e80e6045b1d",{"type":719,"content":1140},[1141,1145,1150,1154,1193,1198,1202,1207,1226,1230,1235,1250,1254,1259,1274,1278,1290,1295,1310],{"type":730,"content":1142},[1143],{"text":1144,"type":728},"Boxing Headgear is a vital piece of equipment for anyone who wants to train safely, especially when involving contact drills.

Athletes can be notoriously hard to buy for, between our training schedules and our busy lifestyles we can be hard to figure out when it comes to gifts. Luckily the FightCamp Trainers have taken the guesswork out of buying gifts for athletes this holiday season. Here is our list of the best gifts for athletes:\n\nNike Air Zoom Tempo Next%\nA pair of reliable running shoes are a must-have for any athlete, and if the fitness fanatic in your life is anything like me, sometimes we hold onto old shoes for much longer than we should. So this Christmas or Hanukkah one awesome gift for the athlete in your life is a pair of reliable running shoes. Coach PJ suggests the Nike Air series, and I have to agree. I own a pair myself, and they really help keep my feet from getting sore during long roadwork.\n\nRogue Kettlebells\nKettlebells are awesome for more ergonomic, natural movement weight training and they are also way more compact than a traditional weight set. The Rogue kettlebell set is a great option for combat athletes because they’re great in value price wise and kettlebells in general are just so versatile. Having a couple of different-sized kettlebells will save your favorite athlete a ton in equipment costs down the line!\n\nHypervolt Massage Gun\nAthletes are fantastic at pushing themselves to go that extra mile, get that extra rep, or fight that extra round. Taking care of our body afterward? Not so much. Help your workout buddy out this holiday season by getting them a massage gun (and maybe a gentle reminder that recovery is just as important as the workout). Shanie Smash recommends the Hypervolt massage gun. Let me tell you, these things work. Massage guns are great for reducing muscle soreness and releasing lactic acid buildup and tension. \n\nHyperice Compression Sleeves\nAnother awesome recovery item, every athlete knows the meme about skipping leg day, and there is a good reason it exists: leg day, and especially leg recovery, sucks. Make it a little easier to resist the temptation to skip leg day by gifting your athlete (or yourself) some good compression sleeves this holiday season. I’m a big proponent of ice packs and massages, and this combines the best of both worlds. \n\nCryotherapy Gift Cards\nCryo is amazing, and if you’ve never done it before we highly recommend treating yourself or a loved one this holiday season. I have used it to recover from some of the hardest training days, and let me tell you even just one session goes a long way. Jess Evans was right on the money with this suggestion. Any athlete will love getting a Cryo treatment after a tough workout.\n\nConnected Fitness Membership\nAthletes love staying fit so make working out even more fun for them by gifting a connected fitness membership. Online training subscriptions give you the option to exercise out of the comfort of your own home or while traveling and on a schedule you can create for yourself. Most connected fitness memberships also come with the option of purchasing exercise equipment for the home gym. And for the boxers in your life or something new to try for your athlete, we have the perfect connected fitness membership for you to gift (wink wink nudge nudge), FightCamp!","What are the best gifts for athletes?","Top Holiday Gifts For Athletes",{"name":30,"created_at":31,"published_at":32,"updated_at":33,"id":34,"uuid":35,"content":3024,"slug":30,"full_slug":54,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":3036,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":58,"first_published_at":59,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":3037,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":37,"name":38,"category":3025,"component":39,"meta_info":3033,"block_image":3034,"cover_image":3035,"internal_notes":7},{"name":19,"created_at":20,"published_at":21,"updated_at":22,"id":23,"uuid":24,"content":3026,"slug":19,"full_slug":132,"sort_by_date":48,"position":133,"tag_list":3031,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":136,"first_published_at":137,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":3032,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":26,"name":27,"topics":3027,"component":118,"meta_info":3028,"meta_title":123,"block_image":3029,"cover_image":3030,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":131},[35,69,97],{"_uid":120,"title":121,"plugin":43,"description":122},{"id":125,"alt":126,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":126,"filename":127,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":129,"alt":126,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":126,"filename":130,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":41,"title":42,"plugin":43,"description":44},{"id":46,"alt":47,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":47,"filename":49,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":52,"alt":47,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":47,"filename":53,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"type":719,"content":3039},[3040,3053,3057,3067,3083,3095,3105,3119,3123,3133,3148,3167,3177,3191,3201,3206,3216,3228,3237,3247,3251,3256,3267],{"type":730,"content":3041},[3042,3044,3051],{"text":3043,"type":728},"Tis’ the season for gift-giving and family gatherings, and if you’re anything like me you’re already planning out what to get the people in your life.

As simple and inexpensive as they may be, they help protect the “money makers”--hands, wrists, and knuckles--in fighting. Simply put, hand wraps are essentially some form of cloth that is wrapped several times around the hands and wrists to help protect and reduce the risk of injuries while fighting or training. When done properly, hand wraps cover the palm, the wrist, the base of the thumb, and the metacarpal joints of the knuckles to properly ensure the joints stay in the correct alignment when throwing punches. In other words, the purpose of hand wraps is “to compress and lend strength to the soft tissues of the hand during the impact of a punch.” (wikipedia.org)","What are boxing hand wraps?",{"_uid":3310,"answer":3311,"question":3312,"component":670},"95fe6aa7-f1c1-43fb-9b97-cda9bd82362f","Traditionally, boxing hand wraps are long (sometimes over 18 ft!) pieces of fabric that are carefully wrapped around a boxer’s hand to protect the knuckles and secure the wrist when packing a punch.

Wrapping the hands too loosely could result in the wrap slipping around and not giving you the support you need.

Leaving out the thumb can cause it to get stuck in the glove and jammed, or worse yet, broken upon contact.\n- Not investing in high-quality boxing gear and hand wraps. Don't opt for the cheap ones.
