His hands are a boxer’s greatest asset in this brutal and exacting world of boxing. With each punch, jab, and hook, the delicate balance of power and precision turns a boxer’s hands into his weapon while simultaneously making them the vulnerable part of his being.
Understanding the critical nature of hand protection, Hit N Move changed things forever with its new innovative DR-T padding technology in this cutting-edge boxing gear brand founded by Ozhan Akcakaya. In every pair of Hit N Move gloves, this latest, higher-level padding system is thoughtfully designed for protection and performance to serve a boxer’s hands, ensuring that these essential tools are protected round after round.
The Need for Protection on Hands While Boxing
It is a sport in which hands are constantly under shock, mostly receiving the full impact of a punch. Repetitive stress can cause various types of injuries, from bone fractures and partial dislocations to chronic conditions like arthritis. Hand protection, therefore, becomes a matter not only of longevity in a boxing career but also of safety and performance. Knowing that well-protected hands can provide solid and accurate punches without the fear of injury is everything any boxer can hope to fight for with peak confidence.
This is the knowledge that compelled Ozhan to innovate in the field of boxing gear. Ozhan’s vast experience in orthopedics and his close contact with orthopedic surgeons gave birth to a padding system that would not only protect the hands of the boxer from all kinds of impact but also underline the natural mechanics while making punches. The DR-T Padding system was born—an absolute technological advancement setting new standards for boxing gloves.

The Origin of the DR-T Padding
The DR-T padding was born out of a straightforward idea—to make a glove that would protect without giving away performance. Ozhan had in mind to devise a padding system where the punching glove flies like a dart’s flight, precisely balanced and directed, delivering a punch with full efficiency and safety.
DR-T padding is ergonomically designed to accommodate the human bone structure, generally with a view to weight distribution. It is this type of detail that allows the glove not only to protect the hand but also to be more powerful and accurate in a boxer’s strike. Replicating weight distribution in the human arm, DR-T padding perfectly complements the mechanics of a punch and allows a boxer to unleash his best in every swing.

Layered Protection for Optimal Performance
The padding system of the DR-T glove is devised with multiple layers, each carefully designed to perform a certain role. When combined, these layers create a glove that provides improved protection without compromising on performance.
Comfort ID Foam: Directly next to the knuckles, this layer concaves into the hand and knuckles, providing an individualized fit. With about 30 rounds, the foam is going to take the exact form of the fist of the person using it, making it snug and supportive, minimizing chances of any injury. This tailored fit allows every punch to feel natural and secure, enabling boxers to focus on technique rather than concerns about the safety of their hand.
DR-T Compressor
At the heart of the DR-T padding system is the DR-T Compressor layer that forms the central core of impact absorption and protection for the hands. The padding inside should be able to handle the demands of sparring and bag work without deterioration so that both the athlete and their sparring partners are kept safe. The DR-T Compressor efficiently disperses the force of each punch, thereby significantly reducing shock to the boxer’s hand during impact and preventing injury.
Lightweight Resilient Sheet Foam
This layer adds to the overall structure and durability of the glove, ensuring it holds its form together while providing constant protection. It is this lightweight foam’s resilience that provides great protection yet allows boxers to throw quick, powerful strikes safely.
The Two-in-One Optimized Density External Layer
This layer provides optimized padding, designed for both sparring and bag training. This layer offers the essential protection through its ability to endure repeated impacts. The density of this pad optimizes athletes’ ability to hit the bag full-on without risking deterioration of the glove, therefore ensuring effectiveness over time.
