The Origin Story Of Turtle

For decades, focus mitts needed an upgrade. Unfortunately, boxing equipment did not evolve with science and technology. HIT N MOVE recognized this void, and a team was assembled to redesign the focus mitt as an ultimate tool for every boxing coach.

Turtle mitt is designed with inspiration from an actual turtle. With the protective shell over the hands, coaches are able to create a variety of angles and drills with precise body shot angles provided by the proprietary dorsal shell.

With regular mitts on the market, coaches are not able to create accurate angles for body shots; they have to twist their arms to position the palm section of the regular mitt under their arms, or expose the back of their hands to the body jabs. Our founder, who has dedicated his free time to boxing, recognized these anatomical dangers coaches put themselves at every single day. He did his research with his Orthopedic doctor colleagues and found that many coaches visited doctors due to elbow and wrist pain because of holding mitts. Our founder began drawing the ultimate mitt with these concerns on his mind.

While going on a run, he saw a turtle trying to cross the road. While holding the turtle to move it out of harm's way, he was amazed at how the turtle looked like the mitt he was trying to draw. He immediately trademarked “Turtle” and gave an executive order to begin product testing. This process took about 14 months with many prototypes.

Finally, Hit N Move achieved perfection with Turtle. Coaches are now able to create body shot drills safely and easily while flowing fast with their fighters.

World-famous coach Calvin Ford, who is the main coach of Gervonta Davis, has been a big fan of the turtle mitts and immediately adapted HIT N MOVE products, including boxing gloves and mitts, into his camp.
