The wearable market has been flooded over the past few years with devices to measure your blood, track your activity and estimate your calories. However, there hasn’t been many devices to specifically help fighters with their punches and performance. It’s worth noting that Moov’s wearable supports boxing work-out. Even though it’s geared towards helping you get fit, rather than precisely measuring your fighting capabilities. So we began to wonder if there are any devices that can help fighters? We found a few! Below is a list of our recommendation for you or your fighter friends.
Athletec provides a small pair of wireless tracker slipping onto your hand wraps named Corner. They connect to your iOS or android device.
