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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the “Dorsal Shell” on the Turtle Mitt?

The dorsal shell is the raised, padded part on the back of the mitt, which looks like a turtle's shell. A coach can use this special padded area as a target for their boxer to practice body shots. This is a much safer way for a coach to take a body punch than using the back of their hand or a normal mitt.

2. How Does this Mitt Help Prevent Injuries for a Coach?

This mitt was designed to be safer for the person holding it. With old-style mitts, a coach often has to twist their arm into a bad position to catch a body shot which can hurt their wrist or elbow over time. The Turtle mitt's shape allows a coach to keep their arm in a natural and safe position while still giving the boxer a good target.

3. Are these Mitts Good for Fast Combination Drills?

Yes, they are. Even though they have the extra shell on the back, the mitts are designed to be lightweight and balanced. This allows a coach to move them quickly and to flow easily between catching head shots on the palm and body shots on the shell. They are made for fast and complex drills.
