Do You Need Gloves for a Music Boxing Machine?
You can tap the targets with bare hands, but once the speed goes up you will want gloves. They protect your knuckles and wrists and let you punch with confidence. That is why every BeatJab ships with a free pair.
Why half-finger gloves?
- Padding where it counts. The knuckle area takes the impact.
- Your fingers stay free. You can still use your phone, press the machine's buttons and grab a water bottle.
- Cooler hands. The open cut lets air in, so your hands sweat less.
- Light and fast. Big 12-ounce gloves are made for heavy bags. A music boxing machine is about speed.
Getting the fit right
Slide your hand in, make a fist and tighten the wrist strap until it is snug but not cutting off circulation. The padding should sit over your knuckles when your fist is closed.
Looking after them
- Let them air dry after each session. Do not leave them in a closed bag.
- Wipe the inside with a damp cloth from time to time.
- Keep them out of direct heat, which dries out the material.
Do you need hand wraps?
For light, fast work on a music boxing machine, gloves alone are enough for most people. If you have had wrist problems before, wraps add support.
