Wraps -Hand Wraps- (see picture here) Used to protect the hand and wrist from injuries caused by punching. Gloves -Speed Bag Gloves- (see picture here) These gloves will prevent yourself from hurting your hand while hitting the speed bag. -Heavy Bag Gloves- (see picture here) These gloves will prevent yourself from hurting your hand while hitting the heavy bag, they usually weigh around 14–16-ounces. -Sparring Gloves- (see picture here) these gloves were designed to protect the boxer's hands, not the opponent's head. Generally weigh much more than professional fight gloves (16 oz.) in order to cushion blows and accustom boxers to added weights. Groin Guard/Mouth Piece/Headgear -Groin Guard/No-Foul Protector- (see picture here) Protects against low punches. -Mouth Piece/Mouth-guard- (see picture here) Used to protect the inside of the mouth and lips from getting cut by the teeth when a hard punch to the face is received. The mouth-guard also helps to lock the top and bottom jaws together preventing painful damage to the jaw joint capsule when a boxer is struck by a hook. Important that it is worn in both sparring and its tough competition. -Head Gear- (see picture here) Used to protect boxers from soft tissue damage, (bruises, cuts, etc), during sparring,also used in amateur boxing competitions. Head gear offers no protection from the effects of hard punches (stunning, knockdowns, KOs, Etc). Bags(heavy bag.speed bag, etc) -Heavy Bag- (see picture here) usually suspended by chains or ropes for practicing powerful body punches, and can be used to toughen hands. -Speed Bag- (see picture here) small air filled bags anchored at the top to a rebound platform parallel to the ground. Speed bags help a fighter learn to keep his hands up, improve hand-eye coordination and how to keep a constant punching speed. -Swerve balls/floor to ceiling balls/Double End Bags- (see picture here) Similar to speed bags,the cable system is attached to the ceiling and a clip on the floor - when the boxer places any motion on the ball, it tightly reacts by swinging fast towards them, the object is to swerve, punch, dodge and learn about co-ordination. The harder and faster they are hit - the more they rebound and react in different motions of angles, thus giving greater practice to the fighter. -Slip bags- (see picture here) used to improve the athlete's head motion and ability to evade an opponent's punch.
