BALAZS BOXING PRESS RELEASE

ALLENTOWN, Pa.; May 18, 2001 - Say goodbye to those disgustingly sweaty gloves-and welcome your hands to open-air boxing gloves from Balazs!

Balazs Boxing has created open-hand gloves for use in boxing gyms and martial arts studios. The open-palm design works with or without hand wraps and guarantees fresh gloves every time!

Balazs' Punch Gloves are great for hitting heavy bags, working with target pads, martial arts exercises, kickboxing routines and aerobic boxing. The shock-absorbent padding protects the hands and fingers while the elastic wristband supports the wrist. The durable cover repels moisture and cleans up easily.

The insides of traditional gloves get very hot and hold the sweat. Donning a pair of sweaty gloves is not a pleasant experience and can be quite difficult. What's more, most gloves can't be thrown in the wash, so there is no way to easily clean them. The Balazs Punch Gloves solve these problems.

Balazs Punch Gloves are perfect for club members to borrow during cardio and circuit-training classes. Because the gloves have no inner hand cavity, they don't retain sweat, so they are always easy to put on. Furthermore, cleaning them between uses is simple… just spray them with a mild cleanser and wipe them off with a towel. Club members won't be reluctant to use shared gloves anymore!

Balazs sells to individuals, health clubs and retailers. Located in Allentown, Pa, Balazs Boxing has hit the market as the premier designer and manufacturer of commercial-grade boxing equipment, with customers in over 100 countries.
