Suppose you’re a boxer who isn’t interested in all the dancing and prancing around during sparring. Instead, you love to go deep into the trenches and stand directly in the line of fire only to come out bloodied but victorious. Then, it’s no surprise that you are always looking to add a little more bang in your punches and a little more zip in your movement.
Trying to find the secret drills used by Canelo or the latest sports science discovery that will take your punches from feeling like a gentle breeze to a whip that has a brick attached to its tip. The only problem is that this secret hack doesn’t exist. In fact, Ozhan Akcakaya (CEO of Hit N Move), who is experienced in the orthopedics industry, claims that the ridiculous power you see on TV comes not from 1 secret hack but the combination of dozens of 1% improvements.
With this in mind, he set out to contribute to that 1% improvement by designing the Hit N Move All Day Agility training glove, tailored for those who want to generate maximum power in tight spaces within milliseconds.
The idea is simple: this glove won’t instantly give you Canelo-level power, but if two people with the same genetics trained the same way, the one wearing this glove would have a slight edge in power and mobility. This means they’d have an advantage over their opponent, even with equal effort.
But what parts of these gloves are tailored to increase power?
Grip Bar
One key feature of this glove is the larger, denser grip bar, which is crucial for generating power in those split seconds. With the larger size, your hands need to contract less to form a solid fist, saving you precious milliseconds to unleash maximum power. While this might seem minor, you’ll notice the difference when your tired opponent is leaning on you, shoulder to shoulder, and you’re ready to land that quick, match-ending punch to their liver.
Tighter Fit
Another key feature is the tightness of the glove. This ensures your hand is snug, minimizing movement inside the glove. Meaning the energy from your punch is more directly transferred through your knuckles and into your target, instead of being lost in any excess space or padding.
You might worry that the glove will feel too tight, but as discussed below, the patented DR-T technology ensures it fits snugly around your hand.
DR-T
The DR-T (Dart) padding technology is a patented design found exclusively in Hit N Move gloves. Named for its aerodynamic efficiency, this padding was developed by measuring the density of the bones in the human hand and distributing the padding weight to minimize air resistance while aligning with the natural mechanics of a punch, allowing each punch to fly like a dart.
Beyond its aerodynamics, the padding is optimized for comfort, protection, and multi-functional training, with each layer serving a specific and crucial purpose.
Layer 1: Comfort ID Memory Foam
Engineered for comfort, this innermost layer is designed to be tight but plush, allowing the custom ID memory foam to mold around your clenched fist after only 30 rounds on the bag.
Layer 2: DR-T Compressor
Designed for protection, this firmer section covers only the knuckle area of the gloves. Thanks to the special material used, this layer redirects the force of impact from your punch, bouncing it back into your target rather than letting it be absorbed by your joints and arm.
Layer 3: Resilient & Lightweight Sheet Foam
Added for durability, this resilient, lightweight sheet of thin foam acts as a cohesive layer, reinforcing the glove’s structure and extending its lifespan by years.
Layer 4: 2 In-1 Optimised External Density Layer
Finally, the outer layer of foam features optimized density, allowing it to withstand bag work without deteriorating or flattening the glove. This ensures it remains safe for sparring, even after countless rounds on the bag.
