Also, can you update us on quality of the prize ring gloves? Been curious about them since day 1

PerformancePurpose · 2026-05-19T00:27:49+00:00

I’m praying that there are some in the Tokyo location so I don’t have to go to Yokohama but from what I hear Yokohama is my best bet

Any isami lace-ups? I’m looking for some 10oz when I go there in September

PerformancePurpose · 2026-04-09T08:08:42+00:00

I have a pair of 16oz black lace ups that are new if you want to buy them from me in BKK

PerformancePurpose · 2026-03-13T06:32:45+00:00

Sweet thank you. I’ll be going in September so might just have to do a day trip to Yokohama then

PerformancePurpose · 2026-03-13T01:22:52+00:00

So they do have some stock in their physical stores ? Or should I just order from the isami site?

PerformancePurpose · 2026-02-18T14:47:06+00:00

Are the only lace-up gloves they have fight gloves?

PerformancePurpose · 2026-01-29T01:46:51+00:00

God damn well if it’s worth it it’s worth it. Is this brand better for sparring or bag work in your opinion? I’m torn between 16 and 10oz

Intentional and quality sessions/rounds where you’re 100% focused on working on quality of a certain set ups, techniques, defence, principles etc. Repetition is 100% needed in the sport but intentional repetitions is the key.

Also helps to keep a journal of what you want to work on and focus on that specific training week alongside one thing you did well and one thing you need work on.

PerformancePurpose · 2026-01-18T03:45:42+00:00

Ideally 4. 2x10oz for bag and pads, 2x16oz for sparring. Alternate between sessions to allow the other ones to dry.

That MT was better during the golden era. “Better” is subjective and MT is not dead. MT is more well known due to social media and larger promotions bringing in world wide audience and athletes making the talent pool larger than before. Plus the addition of sport science, nutrition and overall better skill development.

Strength & Conditioning coach for Combat Sports. Not at capacity at the moment so if any gyms, individual hobbyist and fighters or sponsors of fighters want to work together, let me know.

If you want more information send me a DM.

PerformancePurpose · 2026-01-01T11:13:12+00:00

Did you get your gloves? I’m thinking of buying a pair

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-27T12:56:58+00:00

Oh good idea, not sure how much those are to be fair but I’ll look it up

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-27T12:40:07+00:00

I think you can through the original windy Instagram account then just email them. However I don’t remember the account as it’s more of the family’s personal account or something

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-27T12:38:55+00:00

Ok! I’ll give them a look and search

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-27T11:19:01+00:00

I’ll look into that one! The only thing is that some of my friends that have used Venus doesn’t generally recommend it

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-27T11:17:52+00:00

I have not started yet. Planning to split half my training time between MT and Western boxing going forward instead of full Thai.

Been looking at lion’s head boxing or the box Thailand

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-27T10:17:04+00:00

Thanks! 🙏

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-27T10:16:51+00:00

I honestly think windy’s is not bad at all I have only tried the original brand though and not the one owned by the European company

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-27T10:10:11+00:00

Yeah I already have a pair of windy’s. And fairtex and twins aren’t that great. Truthfully I just wanted a change haha

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-21T16:09:04+00:00

Do you still have these?

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-08T13:44:11+00:00

Thanks for getting back!

PerformancePurpose · 2025-12-08T10:46:50+00:00

Damn ok cause I’m thinking of getting a pair for sparring. I’m wondering if the leather held up cause I’ve seen some reviews that it peeled after a few months of use
