Made For Coaches
To this day, coaching gear has faced a major flaw.
Everything is designed for the athlete.
Even coaching gear is sold based on the best protection, precision, and performance of the athlete.
The unspoken part…
Not designed for coaches.
Leaving them vulnerable to cracked elbows, popped shoulders, severe arthritis, and many more avoidable injuries.
This issue was the Driver for our CEO to redesign the mitt, after seeing his beloved boxing coach was at risk and actively suffering from some of these issues.
Why Turtle?
After setting out to break away from conventional design and revolutionise the boxing mitt, Ozhan originally hit the biggest wall every innovator has to face.
How?
After going through dozens of designs and having to restart again and again, this mission was looking grim.
Until…
One day on a run, Ozhan spotted a turtle desperately trying to cross a road.
Fearing it could be run over, he decided to pick it up and help it across. As he crossed the street with the turtle in his hands, he was casually gazing at its back.
Then it hit him. The structure. The pattern. It was exactly what he needed to strengthen the padding without making the back too bulky.
So finished helping the turtle, ran home, and completely redesigned the mitt, using the pattern found on the back of a turtle's shell.
After many tests and iterations to find and confirm that the protection was optimal on the front and back, he released the first slim double-sided mitt, available on the market.
Capable of protecting coaches, by allowing them to punch on both sides of the mitt, so they dont have to put their hands and elbows into unnatural positions when catching body shots.
Further preventing the risk of short-term breaks and long-term arthritis.
Today, high-level coaches rely on Turtle mitts to elevate their performance and protect themselves.
Regular Turtle Mitts: Balanced Performance
The first turtle mitts to be released.
This mitt is designed for a mix of speed, power, and precision.
If you are only going to buy one mitt, this is the one. Replicating the size and precision of a standard mitt with the protection and innovation of our Turtle trademark.
The Regular turtle is the perfect all-day training tool that will suit a large variety of styles and fighters.
Micro Turtle Mitt: Speed and Precision
The second iteration. Small, precise, and easy to carry.
The Micro Turtle Mitt is perfect when working on speed and precision. Although they lack the same protection as the other two.
The small target is perfect for developing timing and accuracy, while still protecting the coach and allowing them to piece combos together safely with the double-sided design.
They also have a very minimal profile, making them easy to carry and use when warming up a fighter before their fight.
Mega Turtle Mitt: Power and Endurance
The most recent and largest addition, designed to catch bombs.
The Mega Turtle Mitts are perfect for big boys with heavy hands.
Sacrificing precision and accuracy, these are perfect for conditioning or when developing the fighter to engage the full power chain in his punches.
In short.
Maximum size, maximum protection.
If you train heavyweights, these are the mitts for you.
Summary
With each design prioritizing the coach's joints and muscle health. The choice depends on how they will be used.
For mixed and consistent training: Regular Turtle.
For speed and precision: Micro Turtle.
For power and endurance: Mega Turtle.
Either way, this pair is designed to prioritize the safety and long-term health of the coaches, while also introducing a new and unique way to hold mitts for their fighter.
