887 punches in 3 minutes

One of our boxing coaches, Calum Harper recently attended the SFN HEALTH AND Fitness EXPO held in the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow. Calum took part in a competition to measure punching speed and intensity using a new electronic timing device worn inside boxing gloves (Hykso Boxing trackers).

Calum recorded a score of 887 punches successfully landed in 3 minutes and won himself a nice pair of new boxing gloves and focus mitts!

Whilst we won’t all be expected to punch at this rate, it became apparent that these electronic measuring applications will be extremely useful in measuring performance improvements in our own boxers. We have therefore acquired this system and invite you to try out the new technology at your next session – Keep track of your progress as you Fight Back
