To prevent injuries, new boxers need to start out with the proper head gear. Head gear prices
typically range from $30 60, with more expensive exceptions depending on quality
and brand. They keep damage from head blows at a minimum by reducing cuts. Look
for head gear that has adequate padding. Beginners can use cheek protectors and
face savers, but those looking to compete professionally aren t allowed to use
them. I would recommend something basic but high in quality like Everlast
Durahide headgear. It costs about $35 which is great for beginners.
The next important piece of equipment that beginners need, and is often over looked
is the mouthpiece. Mouthpieces are deceiving because some can cost as little as
$2. But since mouthpieces protect your lips P.J. Hall Raiders Jersey , teeth, and gums from damage, a more expensive custom fitted piece is the best choice for beginners. These are pricey, but you can t
put a price on quality protection. Order custom pieces online or in specialty
martial arts stores. They will fit your mouth perfectly and ensure that they
will not fall out when sparring.
Since boxing is primarily done with hands, another big item that you need to consider is hand wraps. Hand wraps are
very inexpensive as they typically cost less than $10. These are important for
all types of boxing and especially sparring and practicing on bags. They will
protect your hands from burns and chaffing and support your wrists as well. Hand
wraps are imperative Kolton Miller Raiders Jersey , do not leave them out of your shopping.
And now we come to boxing gloves in which the varieties are numerous. Gloves with
lace ties are for professionals. Whereas beginners may want gloves with velcro
straps, as they are good for training and easy to put on. As far as size goes,
gloves come in the standard small, medium, and large sizes. Men typically use
large Donald Penn Raiders Jersey , women medium, and children small. Adult gloves weigh anywhere between 10 20 ounces, but beginners may want to use something in
the 12 16 ounce range. Standard sparring gloves weigh 14 16 ounces and are
heavily padded. Professional competition gloves are much lighter and weigh 10
ounces.
But boxing would not be complete without boxing shoes. Made of lightweight leather, prices vary for boxing footwear just like sneakers. They
come in low tops and high tops, but the most important thing is that they are
breathable and they fit well. Adidas is a very popular brand among boxing
shoes Justin Ellis Raiders Jersey , so I would suggest giving them a try.
Just remember to try everything on and that perfect fit is essential when it comes to
boxing equipment.
GENEVA, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Ahead of the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games (YOG), former President of International Olympic Committee (IOC) Jacques Rogge
told Xinhua in an exclusive interview his expectation of the games to be a great
success.
The YOG was created in 2007 by IOC when Rogge held office as the head of the organization. It was designed to be a new elite sporting competition for young
people, which would be held every four years with both summer and winter
editions.
For Rogge, there was a need to give young people the opportunity to learn values of sport at the time. He pointed out that normally the average age of
athletes to participate for the first time in the Olympic Games was around 22 or
23 Rodney Hudson Raiders Jersey , leaving a gap between the age of 15 and 18.
Sport, in his words, is a fantastic tool to better the young people.
"Sport brings health. Sport strengthens the body and the mind. Sport teaches young people more in a team than alone. Sport teaches them to respect the
referee and hopefully to respect the laws of society later on. And sport helps
shape their personality," the eighth IOC president highlighted the value of
sports which in turn was part of reasons behind the establishment of YOG.
"We could give a lot of help to young people with the values of sport. We didn't have to wait for the age of 20, (or) 24. That's exactly what the reason
was Gabe Jackson Raiders Jersey ," explained the former IOC chief who formally announced the plan for YOG in 2007.
The inaugural summer edition was held in Singapore in 2010, and the first winter edition in Innsbruck, Austria in 2012.
The forthcoming Nanjing 2014 YOG, which was scheduled to kick off on August 16, was the second summer Youth Olympic Games.
Rogge expressed his confidence in the Nanjing games Seth Roberts Raiders Jersey , believing it would be "a great success" and also "will be a blueprint for the future games."
"I have high expectations. When I look at the quality of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, I'm sure that you will deliver a good quality on the Nanjing Games. Of
course you can not compare. YOG are smaller than and of a different nature from
the traditional Olympic Games. But the knowledge of the Chinese (government) and
Chinese people in organizing sports is at the highest," said Rogge.
The development of sports got further boosted in China after the "exceptional" Beijing 2008 Games which were of "very good quality," as
highlighted by Rogge.
He commended that the efforts have been done "with great efficiency," saying that the concept of sports for all has been brought into limelight and been
practiced by Chinese people in their daily lives.
Rogge further applauded China's National Fitness Day being part of the efforts Bruce Irvin Raiders Jersey , referring to the day observed on August 8 every year in China since 2009 as a mark of the opening of the Beijing Games. On that
day, all public sports facilities would open for free and activities and
campaigns emphasizing fitness would be held across China.Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Replica NHL Jerseys
