Inspiration Behind “Turtle” Mitts
All HIT N MOVE products are handcrafted by skilled artisans selected and hired by HIT N MOVE
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 the inspiration of an actual turtle. With The protective shell over the hands, coaches are able to create variety of angles and drills with precise body shot angles provided by the propriety dorsal shell.
With regular mitts on the market, coaches are not able to create accurate angles for body shots; they had to twist their arms to position the palmer 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 times to boxing, recognized this anatomical dangers coaches put themselves every single day. He did his research with his Orthopedic doctor fellows and found that many coaches visited doctors due to elbow and wrist pains 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 harms way, he was amazed how the turtle looked like the mitt he was trying to draw. He immediately trade marked “Turtle” and gave executive order to begin product testing. This process took about 14 months with many prototypes.
Finally Hit N Move achieved the 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.
The Focus Mitt, Evolved: Meet the Turtle
Boxing is an old sport, and for a long time, the equipment did not change. Science and technology moved forward, but boxing mitts stayed the same. We decided to fix that. We assembled a team to redesign the focus mitt from the ground up. The result is the Hit N Move “Turtle” mitt, one of the most thoughtful evolutions of the focus mitt in decades.What’s the Problem with Regular Mitts?
Holding mitts can be strenuous for a coach. With standard focus mitts, you often have to twist your arm and shoulder into bad positions to catch a body shot. Or, you have to turn your hand over and expose the back of your hand to a punch. Our founder worked with orthopedic doctors and found that this twisting and impact can contribute to severe elbow and wrist pain that forces many coaches to retire early.
The solution came from nature. A turtle shell protects the animal from any angle. We applied this same logic to our design. We added a proprietary "dorsal shell” of padding to the back of the mitts. This allows you to catch body shots naturally. You do not have to twist your arm; you can present the back of the mitt. It adds a protective surface that helps absorb impact. and gives the fighter a solid target to hit.
