Knockout Holiday Gifts for Martial Arts Enthusiasts
Thinking about what to get that fitness fan on your shopping list? If you’re looking for great ideas, here’s a guide to this year’s best martial arts-related gifts.
Protective Gear
Help keep the important bits of your friends and loved ones safe in 2017.
- Hand protection is vital in most forms of martial arts. Because gloves and hand wraps quite literally take a beating, they need to be replaced regularly. That means hand protection items are always a helpful gift. Boxing gloves are perfect for MMA, karate, kickboxing, and all forms of boxing. Hand wraps and fingerless gloves could be useful for any of the martial arts and when cross training in weight lifting
- Don’t forget other protective gear gifts: Shin guards, groin protectors, head guards, thigh pads, and elbow guards
Media
Mixed Martial Arts, Thai Boxing, and boxing workout videos continue to be extremely popular. Fortunately for shoppers there are many great gift options available in a wide range of prices.
- Books: A wealth of books are available about Muay Thai, MMA, boxing, and other martial arts. Training guides, fighter biographies, and even MMA-based romances and suspense fiction books are available in print and ebook formats
- DVDs: Your sport fan will enjoy watching training videos, workout sequences, and DVDs of tournaments and famous fights. For lovers of classic martial arts, there’s The Deadliest Art, a documentary of the greatest martial art film sequences through the mid-1990s. Film compilations and individual movies by martial arts greats like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Chuck Norris are also available on DVD and Blu-ray
Clothing
The frequent washings and rough treatment given to workout clothes means they require frequent replacement in order to stay free from rips and odours.
- Martial arts suits: For traditional martial art forms like Karate, Taekwondo, Aikido, and Judo
- T-shirts & vest tops: For MMA, boxing, and general workouts
- Fight shorts: For competitors in MMA and boxing
- Hoodies and jogging bottoms: For MMA, weight lifting, and outdoor training
Accessories
There are plenty of smaller gift options.
- Elevation training masks are ones of the hottest training items this year. These lightweight masks simulate high altitude training and condition the lungs. This strengthens the diaphragm and increases lung capacity. These masks are appropriate for all martial arts and for any other type of aerobic workout
- Wrist tape, jump ropes, gym bags, and muscle rubs make great stocking stuffers
- Keep them smiling with gum guards in fun designs like fangs, ogre teeth, or gold caps
- Training equipment: From lightweight speedballs to punch bags and grappling dummies in a variety of shapes and sizes, there is something for every home gym and workout area
Folks with limited space at home may appreciate more portable or compact training accessories like focus pads and mitts, medicine balls, and free weights.
