Why bag mitts

Less glove.
More precision.

Old-school boxers trained with bag mitts to sharpen punch placement and technique. Few fighters today know their benefits. FightBred is bringing them back.

    The compact design encourages proper fist formation.

  2. Correct technique

    Sharpen your technique one punch at a time.

  3. Accuracy

    Easier to know where you're landing your fist when you hit the bag.

  4. Strengthening your hands

    Slimmer and thinner than bulky gloves.

The founder

Built by a fighter

Ranked 4th in Canada in the U23 age group (2026), Yarka has been an active boxer out of Calgary, Canada, determined to climb the amateur ranks and refine his skills as he prepares for his transition to the professional game. He has a growing following on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

In late 2024, I had hand injuries that kept hindering my training. My coach recommended bag mitts, which old-school boxers used to practise punch placement and technique. They're slimmer and thinner than bulky gloves, and they put focus and proper technique first.

Most bag mitts were out of stock. That's when I realized bag mitts were a forgotten tradition, underused because few people knew their benefits. So I set out to bring them back. I used several pairs for months, noted the pros and cons, and decided to make a bag mitt that outperformed the rest.

Our first batch launched in December 2025 and sold out in under 2 months. The restock planned for February 2026 was delayed by manufacturing, but after months of perfecting the design and quality, we're back with a sharper, upgraded version: higher-quality leather, medium-firm EVA and a silky, breathable interior.
