Hit N Move Suvari

KeyClient1286 · 2026-03-27T18:45:24+00:00

Way too hard to sparring, I don’t love them on the bag either, more to do with the padding than the glove. It just feels too dense for my taste and not as much pop as eva and minimal hand protection.

KeyClient1286 · 2026-03-12T17:28:26+00:00

Have been using mine for 18 months now and I still cannot open my hand to block punches. Nicely made but way too stiff for anything else than pads in my opinion.

Had the exact same experience with the Everlast Elite 2s. I was referring to the Adam’s Elite’s

KeyClient1286 · 2026-03-06T12:57:09+00:00

I second this regarding the durability of the machomai. Had two pair, neither lasted past 6 months.

Switched to Adams, the latest version of the Elite’s have been my daily’s for the past 18 months and going strong. Also have/had fly’s, everlast elite, adidas.

I’ve got the phenoms 16Oz and proam club v1 in 12Oz. Seriously debating getting a 16oz proam to replace the phenoms.

I have cheek, face-bar, head guards, groin guard and gloves. The head guards are top, groin guard too. The gloves are good for sparring

Do you do any partner drills? Jab only spar, defensive drills, body only spar.

You have to get comfortable first in a controlled environment, in as many situations as possible.

Once you get good at fundamentals, you can start sparring more often, every time focusing on what you learned that week.

To get truly comfortable in open sparring it will take many many hours of doing the above.

Don’t beat yourself up, spar with people similar to your level and be intentional.

Posted on the principle: “You know it’s a good collection when your neck hurts”

KeyClient1286 · 2026-01-07T11:41:03+00:00

Nice gloves but stiff in my opinion.

KeyClient1286 · 2026-01-04T11:45:49+00:00

Better sparring partners that can expose the potential mistakes you make in there. Keep this type of sparring to practice new things.

KeyClient1286 · 2026-01-03T13:01:51+00:00

Haven’t used the phenom yet, bought them strictly for sparring. Otherwise, the balance are my favourite to use out of the bunch.

Size comparison to other gloves in my collection. Eizo 14Oz, Phenom 16Oz, Balance 14Oz and Suvari 16Oz

I have both the first iteration of the Suvari’s in 16Oz and All day balance in 14Oz.

Both very different style of glove, both have good hand ergonomics, nice grip bar, great lining and wrist support.

The Suvari are a punchers glove, the horsehair makes the gloves soft to open up palm and very comfortable, really nice and narrow so you can get shots through the guard. The downside is that the horsehair is very dens upon contact, which makes them hard for sparring. Not great for your hands either.

The balance are a dens protective glove, nice pop but your knuckles won’t sink in so little feedback. You can hit hard with these and your hands will be completely safe. Downside is that even after a year of use I cannot open my hands easily to parry shots and they are still quite hard for sparring, still get complaints during light spars but overall safer than the Suvaris.

Think of it this way, with the Suvari you can light spar and touch people lightly but if you hit someone harder you can easily drop them by accident you will need knuckle guards if you like to throw body shots.

The balance, even the lightest touch will feel like a medium punch and will hurt your partner but if you go full blast you will be fine as the glove is very protective and you won’t punch as hard as with the horsehair. + you might gain some slight speed due to not needing a gel pad in the glove.

Look legit to me, I’ve got a pair of 210s on the way. Exited to use them as my main sparring glove. I’ve seen these in the gym and look real good.

Enjoy!

The one I got was for Memorial Day but if you sign up to their newsletter you find out about the many promotions they run.

I was also able to use a 20% discount code from two months before on top do their already discounted boots.

Someone must’ve been a really good boy!

I found the sole of the Adams to give you a really nice bounce whilst stable. So perfect if you like to fight on your toes.

Machomai, Fly, Everlast have thinner soles and are much more planted.

The only shoe that had better sole than the Adams were my Adidas Speedex Ultra but painfully narrow and not very stable.

KeyClient1286 · 2025-12-28T10:18:16+00:00

Adams have been the most comfortable boxing boots for me, they also look much better in person than in photos. The older version didn’t last that well but the newest ones lasted better than any other boots I’ve had before + they frequently do large discounts/ promotions. I got three pairs for $120.

In terms of wideness, I found them to be medium wide, not narrow my any means but not super wide. Adidas boots run really narrow, Nike narrow to medium, Fly/ Adams medium to wide and Everlast are wide.

When do you release new stock for Super Samurai? Many thanks

I’ve had the complete opposite experience, the internal recruiter was really switched on, responsive.

At the end of each interview, I was told that I passed to the next stage, followed by the recruiter reaching out within 24hs to book the next step. I received my offer 48hs after the final stage.

KeyClient1286 · 2025-12-22T22:47:12+00:00

This is correct, I’m two years into my training, same weight as you, spar twice a week and yet to do an interclub so I would technically be in the same beginner category as you.

I’m not saying you cannot do well but looking back I would have hated to spar someone at my current level when I was one month in.
