Benefits of technology

[0012]Millions of people practice boxing and martial arts, both competitively and recreationally. Boxing and martial arts training are beneficial in that they help to develop strength, stamina and conditioning, as well as teaching self-defense and building self-confidence. Many boxing and martial arts practitioners develop injuries to their hands because traditional boxing gloves transfer the impact directly to the wearer's hands and fingers when a target is struck.

Problems solved by technology

This impact can be quite painful and also cause painful injuries to the wearer's hands, fingers and wrist.
This shortcoming has caused many to become discouraged and lose interests in practicing boxing and martial arts.
Another shortcoming of conventional boxing gloves is the use of fabric material in an enclosed mitt which traps the user's perspiration, leading to bacteria breeding and foul odor.
