The goal was to understand the obstacles that female fighters face. I used the Design Squiggle as my design process, allowing me to start with an unstructured approach and refine the concept from there. After extensive research, the project led to the design of boxing gloves specifically for beginners. Through interviews with coaches, I discovered that beginners of all genders, sizes, and fitness levels often lacked quality gloves and guidance to navigate what glove is ideal for them. To address this, I chose to take a gender-neutral approach to encourage more people to participate in combat sports. The ultimate goals of this project is to close the gender gap and barriers in combat sports, increase sport participation, and innovate boxing glove design.
