RAM: The Safe Boxing Glove 

RAM: De veilige bokshandschoen

RAM Gloves are a biomechanical breakthrough that redefines a 250-year-old design responsible for countless hand injuries in boxing and related sports. Traditional gloves unnaturally force the hand and thumb into an open, misaligned position—leading slowly to chronic damage with impact. 

RAM-handschoenen zijn een biomechanische doorbraak die een 250 jaar oud ontwerp herdefinieert dat verantwoordelijk is voor talloze handblessures bij boksen en aanverwante sporten. Traditionele handschoenen dwingen de hand en duim op onnatuurlijke wijze in een open, verkeerd uitgelijnde positie, wat langzaam leidt tot chronische schade bij impact.

RAM eliminates the thumb, restoring the hand’s natural clenched shape to reduce injury risk. More than just safer sports gear, RAM is essential for rehabilitation, enabling practical training for those with Parkinson’s, MS, and other neurological conditions, psychiatric needs, and amputees. This isn’t just a glove—it’s a necessary evolution for safety, performance, medical, and therapeutic use. 

RAM elimineert de duim en herstelt de natuurlijke, gebalde vorm van de hand om het risico op blessures te verminderen. Meer dan alleen veiligere sportuitrusting is RAM essentieel voor revalidatie, waardoor praktische training mogelijk wordt voor mensen met Parkinson, MS en andere neurologische aandoeningen, psychiatrische behoeften en geamputeerden. Dit is niet zomaar een handschoen, het is een noodzakelijke evolutie voor veiligheid, prestaties, medisch en therapeutisch gebruik.

RAM-handschoenen zijn ontworpen voor sport en gezondheidszorg; ze zijn essentieel voor veilige training en revalidatie. Deze innovatie is de eerste stap. De verbinding met digitaal waarnemen en verbeteren moet nog gemaakt worden.

The Truth About Boxing Gloves in Training De waarheid over bokshandschoenen tijdens training
Despite its growing popularity, traditional training methods still face severe limitations: 

Ondanks de groeiende populariteit worden traditionele trainingsmethoden nog steeds geconfronteerd met ernstige beperkingen:

 Inefficient training – One person wears gloves while the other holds pads, meaning training is only 50% effective at any given time. 

 Inefficiënte training – De ene persoon draagt ​​handschoenen terwijl de ander de pads vasthoudt, wat betekent dat training op elk moment slechts 50% effectief is.

 Outdated equipment – Standard boxing gloves are injury-prone and not designed for maximum efficiency. 

 Verouderde uitrusting – Standaard bokshandschoenen zijn blessuregevoelig en niet ontworpen voor maximale efficiëntie.

 High risk of hand injuries – Sparring, technical errors, and beginner mistakes often result in injuries that impact daily life and cause long breaks from training. 

 Hoog risico op handblessures – Sparring, technische fouten en beginnersfouten resulteren vaak in blessures die het dagelijks leven beïnvloeden en lange trainingspauzes veroorzaken.

 People with disabilities can hardly enter the traditional glove due to its shape. 

 Mensen met een beperking kunnen vanwege de vorm nauwelijks in de traditionele handschoen komen.

 Amputees need significant adjustments to use a conventional glove. 

 Geamputeerden hebben aanzienlijke aanpassingen nodig om een ​​conventionele handschoen te kunnen gebruiken.

 The grip stimulates more brain parts, making it less useful for Parkinson's, MS, and other neurological diseases. 

 De grip stimuleert meer hersendelen, waardoor deze minder bruikbaar is bij Parkinson, MS en andere neurologische aandoeningen.

The Game-Changer: The RAM Pad/Glove De game-changer: de RAM-pad/handschoen
Imagine a single piece of equipment that does it all—allowing both training partners to hit and block simultaneously, doubling the effectiveness of every session. Stel je een enkel apparaat voor dat het allemaal doet: beide trainingspartners kunnen tegelijkertijd slaan en blokkeren, waardoor de effectiviteit van elke sessie wordt verdubbeld.

With the RAM Pad/Glove, we’ve combined a boxing mitt and a glove into one revolutionary product, offering:

Boxing: A Sport with Inherent Risks
Boxing is a sport with various risks, and one of the most significant risks at every level of participation is hand injuries.

How Do Most Hand Injuries Occur?
Traditional gloves separate the thumb from the hand, an unnatural design that prevents the formation of a proper fist. To mitigate this flaw, boxers use hand wraps. However, how these wraps are applied often becomes a source of injury.
The separation between the thumb and hand, combined with the independent wrapping of the fingers, creates a "bear claw" effect. This pushes the hand slightly apart, putting undue stress on the metacarpal bones. In essence, these bones are forced apart, increasing the risk of misalignment or twisting, making injuries almost inevitable.

RAM: The Non-Aggressive Glove
Many recreational boxers associate traditional gloves with aggression; this is often the same in healthcare, which usually creates a mental barrier to participating in the sport. This is not the case with RAM boxing gloves. Because they lack this association, they help lower the psychological threshold for joining the sport, enabling more people to participate. Due to our design, it is easy to apply the product in healthcare, which has been proven by the acceptance of the product on zorginnovator.nl, a vital healthcare innovation website.

The Need for Change
The current design of traditional boxing gloves fails to protect boxers from themselves. This design was made 150 years ago without proper research or even anatomical knowledge. It is time to bring science into it. The hand must function as a cohesive unit, reducing the risks of thumb, knuckle, and wrist injuries. The RAM glove achieves this, potentially reducing such injuries by up to 80%.

RAM gloves give the hand as much as 90% better natural fit and protect its shape. Finally, using this glove, the hand takes the shape it should have while punching like a fist. RAM gloves solve the problem of injuries and save the pleasure in training. There is no fallout from training due to hand injuries, a higher probability of competition continuation, long-term practice due to safety, and easy entry into the sport for older individuals and kids. 

RAM glove solves many different problems at the same time.
In healthcare, the application is more based on neurological (over) stimulation and danger reduction.

Historical Perspective
In the 1960s and 1970s, most boxers came from manual labor professions, such as painting, cleaning, salvage, or construction, where their hands and forearms naturally strengthened. Since the 1980s, this trend has shifted.
By the 2000s, participants increasingly included women (now over 40% of boxers), individuals in computer-based professions, and students. Additionally, there has been a growing demographic of older participants, many of whom box for medical reasons.
Today, over 90% of boxing participation is recreational, with only 5% engaging competitively. The RAM glove fits this shift perfectly, aligning with safety, reliability, sportiness, and activity values. In the Western hemisphere alone, there are already 200 million people boxing. If we make a rough estimate in Asia, it will be over 550 million, including other martial arts. Roughly, it can be said that over 1 billion people currently practice fighting arts worldwide.
