About Everlast The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did. Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world’s heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950’s and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family’s remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000. Everlast men’s and women’s apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future. Product Description Rhythm is the fundamental concept to hitting the speed bag.

Boxing For Fitness And Fun Boxing is a great sport to get involved in, no matter what your age or level of fitness. Boxing is a discipline that stays with you for a long time. It can help you to get out of situations that you might not want to be in with self defence and it teaches you a mindset other than that of a bar room brawler. The misconception with boxing is that it is all about aggression, it isn't. Boxing is more about self control and being disciplined than anything else, but will need a certain amount of aggression and motivation to partake in any level of boxing, whether it is just the training or if you want to get to a level where you can spar or fight. If you would like to get into boxing don't be put off by what you'd imagine boxing gyms to be like. Boxing clubs in general are pretty friendly places, not many of them are like the spit and saw dust gyms that are so stereo-typically portrayed in the movies. On top of this boxers are pretty genuine people, what you see is what you get on the whole. Some of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever met have been club level boxers. Club level boxers can't afford to be brash and offensive as there is generally someone better and bigger than them willing to knock them down a peg or two. All you will need to start boxing is a basic level of fitness, nothing too excessive but if you haven't taken part in any form of training for any long period of time it's always advisable to consult a doctor first. Don't worry about having to spend lots of money to get started with boxing, all you will really need are some wraps to support your wrists and protect your hands and preferably your own pair of gloves. Some boxing clubs do hire out gloves but in the interests of hygiene I'd always recommend buying your own. If you've ever smelt an old pair of boxing gloves you'll understand why! Most fitness boxers train in nothing more fancy than a loose t-shirt, trainers and a pair of shorts, you should be more than comfortable training like this. I'd always suggest making sure that you have a ready supply of water or sports drink with you, boxing is very thirsty work and you can lose a lot of fluid very quickly, especially in summer. You can usually turn up and train at your local boxing club without too much fuss although in the evenings they may hold sessions purely for the amateur boxers from the gym. Usually throughout the day the gym will be pretty empty so you can train at your own pace, sometimes there will be a coach on hand to give you a few pointers, if not you may be fortunate enough to get some help from another boxer who knows more about the sport than you. There are basics to learn in the sport but you'll find that you pick them up pretty quickly the more you train, and you'll find the more you train the more you'll learn and the more you'll want to train. Boxing is like that, it gets under your skin. Increase your Websites online presence today by getting listed on The Authority Web Directory.
