The story of GRAVITY BOXING

GRAVITY BOXING, a Japanese boxing equipment brand, was founded by former A-Class professional boxer KOICHI ABE. During his time as a university and graduate student, he achieved the status of a professional boxer, climbing the ranks all the way to the prestigious A-Class level. However, upon completing his education, he made the significant decision to retire from the sport. Subsequently, KOICHI ABE found himself immersed in the import-export operations of an automotive parts company, followed by a role in export operations for a used car export company. After gaining invaluable experience in these fields, he took the bold step of entrepreneurship, establishing a business that involved the import and sale of various products, including sports equipment, used cars, and furniture. However, a pivotal moment occurred when his mentor from his active boxing days passed away. This event served as the catalyst for his transition into a new career as a boxing gym trainer. Simultaneously, his involvement in coaching at cultural centers and similar venues allowed him to develop his unique coaching methods and theories. Subsequently, he ventured into the establishment of his own boxing gym, a journey that continues to this day. During this period, he recognized a pressing need for boxing equipment that placed a strong emphasis on safety in training. Motivated by the absence of such gear, KOICHI ABE took the initiative to create his own boxing brand, GRAVITY BOXING. Drawing upon his previous role as the official importer of GRANT boxing products in Japan, as well as his experience with boxing equipment from around the world, he possessed both the knowledge and access to factories necessary to bring his vision to life. The ultimate goal was clear: to provide equipment that could satisfy the needs of both fitness boxers and professional boxers. The primary focus was on training gloves and headgear, with the aim of developing and offering gear that not only protected against injuries but also instilled a sense of security, minimizing fear during training. KOICHI ABE's conviction was that GRAVITY BOXING should prioritize the creation of high-quality yet affordable products, allowing them to be utilized by individuals who genuinely appreciated their value, without the need for excessive advertising expenditure. This commitment reflects his unwavering belief in the quality and worthiness of GRAVITY's products.
