what's the difference between boxing shorts and normal shorts? I'm a serious kickboxer and I'm trying to see the benefit of getting boxing shorts.

Boxing shorts have a bigger waist band than normal shorts. Other than that there's not much difference. Boxing has competition apparel rules that require boxing trunks with contrasting waistband and shirt.

Personally, material, air flow, easier to cleaner, and it feels better on the skin. It's all

Its really just the look. See in am official match you wear a cup underneath. And with normal shorts the way waist band is you look really funny. Ik because I did my first match in Jordan shorts. You look much better in official shorts. Also your waist band must be a differnt color than top n bottom. So u can't wear all black. These waists ate always a different color so you can wear red top tuck in red shorts its all for appearances. Which when you look bad infront of a crowd. Your game could suffer aswel.

I can't answer your question because I bought these for the same reason, when they arrived I inspected the punches and found that 2 of the smaller punches were improperly ground so I returned them with out using them. Purchased a set of Grace punches that worked great.

I went to Modell's and purchased a Nike fabric belt and get the support I need. I do like the leather belts, however, comfort and support are equally important. I've noticed that men in the gym wear both. I would recommend going to a sporting store and trying both on to determine which meets your needs.

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

I think they use smaller gloves in Muay Thai. These gloves don't have a lot of wrist support. For boxing I'd get ones that have velcro straps going all the way around, not just half way.

I use these gloves for speed bag & double end bag training. If you want to hit the heavy bag you should buy a size bigger than your normal size, so you can wrap your hands. These are good gloves but I personally use my boxing gloves when working out on the heavy bag. My kickboxing gloves don't allow me room to wrap my hands properly. You definitely want to protect your hands. Get the 180" hand wraps, these will be perfect to wrap your hands thoroughly. Everlast, or Meister MMA are really good wraps. I really like the Meister MMA. I am a female, normal size hands, at a little under 5'5". I would've ordered a size large in these kickboxing gloves to allow room to wrap my hands, if I knew, before I ordered these. Hope this helps. Good kickboxing gloves though.

Hi Yvonne,I'm not sure about the difference in mens as opposed to the womens. I think that most shorts for women aren't as long and might be more fitted. I recommend ordering a pair and trying them. If you don't like them you can return them. That's what my wife does...lol. Sorry I couldn't help more. I love the quality and design of the shorts, many people at our Box asked where I purchased them.

We've used it for BJJ. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. It's not tight fitting.

Combat is a fun kickboxing class set to music. Some people are motivated by the music and party atmosphere of it. Rushfit is more challenging (and has a more "serious" feel), is adjustable as you make progress, and is currently cheaper. If I were to recommend just one for best results I'd recommend Rushfit.

I don't know about that. They have the mesh lining and the pockets are nice. They are a little longer than most shorts I have tried. I really like them for tennis.

I like a pair of boxer briefs under them. I wear them multiple days at times so seems like a good idea to have a extra layer.

Boxing doesn't use elbows or knees, so I'm unsure how to answer... but I use them for TKD-kickboxing Micah Brock style... Lots of elbows and knees. I'm 5'11" and 145lb, the XS fit my elbows, the S fit my knees. They keep me from getting rashed up and bleeding. Make my sparring partners happier, too. We have to wear full gear when sparring with hands, kicks, knees, elbow, and apparently soon allowed to use head butts. Should be interesting... -Aleta

If you are just doing cardio kickboxing type stuff, it doesn't really matter because you won't actually be hitting with any power anyway. If you plan on learning to actually box, get another glove as this one does not offer the wrist support needed and you will injure yourself. It happened to me and one other person in our gym. I suggest looking at some Title hook and loop gloves if you want a real boxing glove and not crap that is sold to people who don't know any better.

My opinion is that they are much better thn my previous shorts. I might add that I have had a gel pad set cover for years - if you don't have one I suggest that you try it.

Almost nothing. The only thing is which gimmick do you believe, silk infused or pearl infused. I really don't think that makes much of a difference. I have the silk ones and I really do like them though.

They would soon grow out of it. The padding is good but the height would need to be higher for good style kicking. If you get a higher one, use sand not water! My grandsons also used it for boxing, since they were under 4 feet tall. It is a good product and is all that is described. Hope this helps.

From I understand the kick stand is the only difference. Hope this helps you. Feel free to contact me for any other questions. dwntwnall4u@gmail.com
