What is Box'Tag?
Box'Tag is an entertaining, competitive, yet harmless contact sport. The concept has been developed to make boxing safer and allow people of all levels to experience the thrill of competing in a boxing ring without the fear of injury.
How does Box'Tag work?
It involves two opponents of equal fitness and skill level, competing in a boxing match with the use of protective equipment and sensor technology. The sensors fitted into the equipment (vest, gloves and headgear) measure each scoring hit and also register the impact of each punch. The data is transmitted to a score board that displays the results in "REAL TIME". Unlike traditional boxing, Box'Tag has LIVE scoring throughout the bout, involving the crowd and creating an exciting atmosphere.
How is Box'Tag Safe?
Each opponent is fitted with a specially made lightweight vest, protective head guard with solid nose bar
and foam filled gloves. All equipment features wireless sensors that will record the impact of every punch. The scoring system encourages hits to the body as opposed to the head. Any hits that are registered as too forceful will be deemed a foul and incur point reductions. Five fouls throughout the bout will result in immediate disqualification. This enables the focus of Box'Tag to be based around speed and skill rather than the power of each opponent. The idea is to outscore your opponent in a fast paced, adrenalin filled boxing contest. The safety equipment and the point scoring system ensure that no injury or harm is inflicted on either competitor.
Who can participate in Box'Tag?
Box'Tag is a sport for people of all ages. It is a high intensity fitness exercise that requires basic boxing skills, speed, footwork, discipline and patience.
