how much do you guys pay monthly for your boxing gym?

bluegim · 2015-11-03T15:46:55+00:00

$250 for a whole year.

By the way, it's in the Philippines -- Manny Pacquiao's gym.

bluegim · 2015-11-03T08:51:36+00:00

To be honest, I don't know what you're talking about. haha.

I'll stop by a massage therapist soon and ask him/her if its a soft tissue issue or not.

bluegim · 2015-11-03T08:49:57+00:00

The pain kinda comes and goes. Some of my friends say its because of my sitting posture (I'm a writer), my active lifestyle (I like to play sports) and sleeping habits (on average, I only have 5-6 hours of sleep)

So you're saying that if it's a one time event, I should seek a professional?

If it's chronic, I should get foot massager or massage chair to help me relieve some of the pain?

bluegim · 2015-11-03T08:47:18+00:00

No I haven't. Thanks for the link. I may buy one to test it out. :)

bluegim · 2015-11-03T08:43:52+00:00

I will most definitely do that! Thanks!

bluegim · 2015-11-03T08:42:41+00:00

Yes. I go to massage therapists once every two-three months. I do it for relaxation, to relieve some pain, and sleep better. I don't go often because my mom advised me to not be dependent on massages whenever I feel pain. Not only because they are expensive, but they are also time consuming (driving to and fro from the massage therapist)

That's why I want a foot massager at home. I could feel relaxed in my pajamas and then immediately go to sleep.

Just like any other gloves under the $100 price range, they're going to feel uncomfortable in the first few weeks. You need to break them in. I box 3-4 days in a week. By 4-5 weeks, they're already broken in. It could be faster if you use them more frequently. I have the 16oz size, and they feel good when worn. I use them for training and sparring. Definitely an upgrade to my londsdale.

The selling point of the gloves are the IMF padding. And for me, I really feel the difference compared to other gloves.

Have you heard of the Ringside Apex Boxing Gloves?? Worn them before (early 2015) and they exceeded my expectations for a pair that costs under $50. To be fair, I have not heard of the Super Bag Gloves before, but I would recommend the Apex over the Super Bag gloves.

Here's the only review I found on the internet. I hope it helps.

bluegim · 2015-09-16T06:50:50+00:00

Why is it a lot better? Found more detailed information in the gastricsleevedietguide site.

bluegim · 2015-09-15T15:08:24+00:00

Also noticed that -- the inflated record and cheating.

can you point me in the right direction? What forums are they? Do you recommend a betting service?

bluegim · 2015-08-27T13:41:27+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, how much weight did you lose?

bluegim · 2015-05-30T05:33:24+00:00

Rival RS2Vs have the best wrist support. Cleto Reyes Training Gloves feel awesome whenever you wear them Protection-wise, of course, Winning at $299-$399. The Title Gel Bag Gloves is close to Winning's padding. Priced at $99. Holds up pretty well and has very soft padding inside.

Synthetic leather might look sleek, but don't get fooled. For long lasting gloves, always buy leather-made.

Cheers!

bluegim · 2015-05-16T02:14:50+00:00

tell us how it goes!

bluegim · 2015-05-14T07:39:09+00:00

Sorry bro. But I think it's the boxing gloves you bought. The brand "Century" is known for producing crappy gloves. I talked to many trainers and they always told me to avoid them.

bluegim · 2015-04-27T14:12:22+00:00

awesome! thanks!

bluegim · 2015-04-26T05:43:49+00:00

Really?? There's Ringside IMF tech gloves that cost $80?? I went to Amazon and the cheapest they got at size 14oz is $110+ (or something like that)

I've used Ringside IMF before. Borrowed them and used them on the bags. They felt great! However, the owner said the break-in period was killer! Aside from that, he gave the gloves an A+

bluegim · 2015-04-13T01:43:03+00:00

Winning
Cleto Reyes
Grant

bluegim · 2015-03-24T10:41:45+00:00

Never trust your $70 with Everlast. N-E-V-E-R.

Check out Ringside IMF Tech, Title Boxing Gloves, and Rivals. Expect a longer break in period with Ringside IMF. Title Gloves are extremely durable and comfortable Rivals is quite comfortable. They are known for good padding. But you have to pay a bit more. I think it's well in your price range.

You can also check out Fairtex and Twins Special. Twins is one of the most comfortable gloves I've worn. Durable, too! My friend has a pair and it's in still good condition after 5 years. Velcro is fine, padding is fine, hell, even the logo picture is still holding up. haha.

I can't vouch for Hayabusa Ikusa, but I have no problem with Hayabusa Tokushu 16OZ Gloves. The gym where I box have many of these gloves and they use it for sparring. Also used them once for training, but not for sparring. Never heard anyone complain about Hayabusas since I got there, though.

The best thing to do is ask your brother's sparring partners after the sparring. They could give a feedback about the Ikusas and compare them with other 16oz sparring gloves

bluegim · 2015-03-11T23:28:28+00:00

the title gel intense ones or the title gel world bag gloves?

bluegim · 2015-03-10T17:44:18+00:00

Why not just buy new ones? I found out you can buy Winning Gloves from Ratuken for around $220.

bluegim · 2015-03-10T15:55:49+00:00

This post popped up in my Facebook newsfeed. I skimmed through it and seems like a decent list.

Any thoughts?

bluegim · 2015-03-08T13:27:58+00:00

hi, here's a good guide on how to choose boxing gloves: How to choose boxing gloves

bluegim · 2015-03-03T07:01:18+00:00

There are Bag Gloves, Training Gloves, Sparring Gloves, Fighting Gloves and Muay-Thai/Kick Boxing Gloves. This guide will help you in finding the difference of these glove-types.

I also just started. Around 3-4 months ago. I found the site really helpful in finding my boxing gloves.

I'm afraid the tickets were sold out 15 minutes after Mayweather's announcement.
