The “Combat Sports” line has developed an awesome pair of boxing gloves that have incredible wrist support but with myself being a Muay Thai practitioner, I’ve come to prefer the “Thai style” gloves a bit more. Combat Sports has now released their own Muay Thai gloves that will give consumers yet another buying option. The gloves are available in either ...

Here are the new, curved Thai style pads by RevGear. These have just been released so our official review will be coming shortly. However, if you end up getting them before us, then feel free to leave a review of your own below to let people know what you think of them. Judging by the picture however, they look fairly ...

I started off my latest trip in Thailand with a couple days in Bangkok (as I usually do) and like always, I stopped by the shops outside Lumpinee stadium to pick up my training gear for the trip. At the time, I picked up a pair of the Top King “Empower” Gloves and I also saw a sick looking pair ...

Here are the matching shin guards for the “Empower” gloves by Top King. The new Top King gear (the empower line anyway), looks incredible – almost futuristic even. If you look at the design of these shin guards, you’ll notice that the styling points are quite functional since the gold and silver panels offer extra protection down the front and sides ...

Boon Sport is a Muay Thai inspired line that is based out of Bangkok, Thailand. While BOON Sport isn’t nearly as well known as say Fairtex or Twins, they have build a solid reputation amongst the more hardcore Muay Thai enthusiasts for producing top quality training gear. The words “BOON” and “Quality” has become synonymous to many who have used ...

The Fairtex line is perhaps the most popular manufacturer of Muay Thai equipment on an international level. Twins and Windy are more popular within Thailand, but Fairtex is by far the most recognized brand in the world. These gloves (which are the originals) have a “wraparound hook and loop wristband” to provide a “better fit for more comfort and control” ...

Working the Thai pads is a must during your training sessions. Doing so is a great way to develop your fight-specific conditioning, your technique and your overall power. Having spent a couple years in Thailand (and training 6x per week during that time frame), the pads that I’ve used the most are the ones by Twins Special (as Twins is ...

The Thai’s have been making shin guards for decades. After all, Thailand is home to the most devistating striking art on the planet (Muay Thai) and as a Muay Thai practitioner, smashing your shin into your opponents thighs and ribs is a huge part of the training. Well, unless you’re fighting at the stadium, you’re going to need a solid ...

Twins special is the most popular manufacturer of boxing goods in Thailand. The most popular brand on an international scale is probably Fairtex but surprisingly, Fairtex products aren’t easy to come by in Thailand. The only places that I came across that were selling the Fairtex gear were the Fairtex gyms (Pattaya and Bangkok). The rest, well, it’s mostly Twins, ...

Here are the “empower creativity” gloves by Top King. As you can see, the “carbon vevlar-like” design (that’s what they call it), looks pretty slick. The photos don’t do these gloves justice. On my 3rd trip to Thailand, I went to the shops outside Lumpinee stadium to pick up my gear (like I always do) and these gloves caught my ...
