# FightNome

> FightNome: Boxing Coach (https://fightnome.app/) is a boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA training app for iPhone (App Store, iOS 26 or later) and Android (Google Play). It works as an audio combo caller and round timer: a recorded human voice, not text-to-speech, calls every strike on the beat of the music, so the phone stays in your pocket and your eyes stay up while you shadowbox, hit the heavy bag or work pads. Motto: "Train by sound. Fight by instinct."

## What it does
- Combo mode: build any combo strike by strike in the combo editor; the coach calls it on the beat, repeated.
- Reaction mode: random calls, 6–45 calls per minute; the coach throws strikes at you.
- Tempo 74–128 BPM. Boxing punches can be called as pad numbers 1–6; kicks, elbows and knees are called by name with lead or rear.
- Workouts are built from sections (striking or conditioning: rope, shadow, bodyweight) and rounds with rest; the full plan is visible before you press play.
- Onboarding asks your goal, level, discipline, stance and music style and builds four starter workouts.
- Streak, earned rank, week/month/year volume chart, session log, calls answered per session.
- Hands-free: headphone remote play/pause, lock-screen card.
- No account and no login. On iOS, training syncs through the user's own private iCloud. The Android app has no sync; training stays on the device.

## Who it is for
People who already know how to throw a punch and want someone calling the round: shadowboxing, heavy bag and pad-work drills, at home, in a gym or travelling. It is not a video-class app and not hardware: no screen to follow, no sensors, no bag required.

## Common searches
People find FightNome on the App Store when they search for: boxing training, muay thai training, shadow boxing, boxing workout, boxing at home, boxing drills, boxing coach, boxing trainer, punching bag workout and boxing combos.

## Price
- Free download; the FightNome Pro subscription follows onboarding and the app needs it to work (no free tier).
- iOS (App Store, US): FightNome Pro $8.99 per month or $49.99 per year. The 3-day free trial applies to the yearly plan only.
- Android (Google Play): the price is shown in Google Play.

## GloveWatch (gear guides and price tracker)

GloveWatch is the gear section of fightnome.app, written by the GloveWatch team: short, sourced buying guides for boxing and Muay Thai, plus a price tracker that lists only official partner stores. Some links are affiliate links; no brand pays to be listed, and nothing is rated or lab-tested by us.

- [GloveWatch price tracker](https://fightnome.app/glovewatch/): Muay Thai gear (gloves, shin guards, pads, headgear and more) from official partner stores, cheapest first, prices in each store's own currency, refreshed twice a week. Each product has its own page under /glovewatch/p/.
- [Full text of every guide for LLMs](https://fightnome.app/llms-full.txt): short answers, picks and FAQs in one file.

### Gear guides
Gloves, MMA sparring gloves, sparring headgear, shin guards, heavy bags, Thai pads, belly pads and kick shields, kickboxing and karate sparring gear, karate gis, hand wraps and how to wrap your hands, groin guards, mouthguards, a beginner heavy bag workout, a shadow boxing workout, a jump rope workout for boxing, a solo Muay Thai plan for home, martial arts mats for home, what to wear to Muay Thai, starter kits for Muay Thai and boxing and how to choose a Muay Thai camp in Thailand. Hub: https://fightnome.app/gear/

- [Muay Thai starter kit](https://fightnome.app/gear/muay-thai-starter-kit/): To start Muay Thai you need three things: 180-inch hand wraps, a pair of 14–16oz gloves and a mouthguard. Add shin guards and a groin guard when you begin sparring. Most gyms lend gloves for a trial class, so buy wraps first.
- [What to wear to Muay Thai](https://fightnome.app/gear/what-to-wear-to-muay-thai/): For your first Muay Thai class, wear athletic shorts or leggings you can kick in and a fitted T-shirt, vest or tank top with no zips or buttons, plus a supportive sports bra for women. You train barefoot, so bring sliders for off the mats, a big water bottle, a towel and a spare top. Take off jewellery, cut your nails and tie long hair back. Most gyms lend gloves for a trial; Thai shorts can wait, and when you buy them, size them by your waist.
- [Boxing starter kit: what to buy for your first class](https://fightnome.app/gear/boxing-starter-kit/): For a first boxing class you need almost nothing: shorts, a T-shirt, flat trainers and water, and many clubs lend gloves. If you carry on, buy in this order: 180-inch hand wraps, gloves (12–14oz for bag and pads, 16oz if you will spar), then a boil-and-bite gum shield, which England Boxing makes mandatory for all boxers in bouts. A kit bag and a skipping rope come next; buy a head guard or groin guard only when your club asks.
- [Best Muay Thai gloves 2026](https://fightnome.app/gear/best-muay-thai-gloves-2026/): The best Muay Thai gloves for most people starting out are the Fairtex BGV1: leather, handmade in Thailand, 8 to 16oz, and one pair covers pads, bag and light sparring. For a puffier classic Thai glove pick the Twins Special BGVL3, for 18oz or laces the Yokkao Matrix, for airflow the Top King Super Air, and for a dedicated sparring pair the Fairtex BGV6. If one pair has to cover sparring, most adults buy 14oz or heavier.
- [Boxing gloves vs Muay Thai gloves](https://fightnome.app/gear/boxing-vs-muay-thai-gloves/): Buy boxing gloves if you only box, and Muay Thai gloves if you kick, catch and clinch. Muay Thai gloves have a more open palm, padding spread down the side of the hand for blocking, and a shorter, more flexible cuff; boxing gloves are moulded into a fist with denser knuckle padding and a longer, stiffer cuff. Thai gloves work well for boxing too, so if you do both, one Thai-style or all-round pair covers it. Sizes are the same: 16oz for sparring for most adults.
- [What size boxing gloves should I buy?](https://fightnome.app/gear/boxing-glove-size/): For sparring, most adults need 16oz gloves; for bag and pad work, 12 to 14oz is usual. Everlast's chart gives 14–16oz for sparring at 45–68 kg, 16oz at 68–80 kg and 16–18oz above 80 kg. If you can only buy one pair and plan to spar, buy for sparring. Amateur bouts in England use 10oz (65 kg and under) or 12oz gloves supplied at ringside.
- [Kids' boxing gloves: what size to buy](https://fightnome.app/gear/kids-boxing-gloves/): Young children start in 4oz or 6oz gloves: Blitz lists 4oz for ages 4–5 and 6oz for ages 5–7. Older children move to 8oz or 10oz by bodyweight; on Blitz's chart 8oz fits 38–44 kg and 10oz fits 45–51 kg, recommended up to age 14. Sparring charts run heavier (Everlast: 12–14oz under 45 kg), so follow the club's rule. In England Boxing bouts, approved 10oz or 12oz gloves are kept at ringside.
- [Best boxing headgear for sparring](https://fightnome.app/gear/sparring-headgear/): For regular club sparring, a head guard with cheek protection is a common middle ground: it covers the forehead, ears and cheeks and keeps a wide view. Open-face guards are lighter with the widest view; full-face guards with a bar, grill or visor also cover the nose and mouth. Measure around your head just above the ears and use that model's chart. In England Boxing competition, everyone except senior men must wear a sanctioned brand.
- [Kickboxing sparring gear](https://fightnome.app/gear/kickboxing-sparring-gear/): Under WAKO rules, point fighting (semi-contact) needs a head guard, mouthguard, 8 oz open-palm gloves, elbow pads, a groin guard for men and women, shin guards and foot protectors, plus breast protection for women and a face mask for children up to 12; hand wraps are optional. Light contact and kick light swap in closed 10 oz kickboxing gloves with mandatory hand wraps and drop the elbow pads. Body protectors are not on the adult list but many clubs use them for junior sparring; they are sized by height.
- [Karate sparring gear](https://fightnome.app/gear/karate-sparring-gear/): Under WKF kumite rules you need a white gi, red or blue mitts, a gum shield, red or blue shin pads and foot protection, a body protector (chest and body protection for women) and a groin guard for men; under-14s also wear a head guard and an external body protector, and girls under 14 a chest protector. At WKF events all of it must be WKF Approved. Gis are sized by height (Blitz 4/170cm fits 170 to 179 cm); mitts by knuckle width; foot guards by shoe size. Beginners usually start in a light 6 to 7oz polycotton gi.
- [How to choose a karate gi](https://fightnome.app/gear/best-karate-gi/): Beginners and children should start with a light 6 to 7oz polycotton or cotton gi; Blitz's Lightweight, Student and Cotton Student include a white belt. Move to a 10 to 12oz cotton canvas gi when you train several times a week. For kata, pick a heavy 14oz gi in a Japanese cut (shorter sleeves and legs); for kumite, a light gi such as Blitz's 3oz Hokori or one cut for kumite such as its 14oz Silver Tournament. Size by height (Blitz 4/170cm fits 170 to 179 cm) and size up for cotton that is not pre-shrunk.
- [MMA sparring gloves](https://fightnome.app/gear/mma-sparring-gloves/): Open-finger MMA sparring gloves pad the knuckles while leaving the fingers free for clinch and grappling. Blitz sells its Raptor as 4oz; IMMAF amateur competition uses issued 6–8oz open-handed gloves, and IMMAF describes 4oz as the professional standard. Blitz sizes by hand circumference (Raptor/Avenger: S/M 20–22.5 cm, L/XL 22.6–24 cm). Use closed 14–16oz boxing gloves for stand-up-only sparring if your gym asks for them.
- [Best Muay Thai shin guards](https://fightnome.app/gear/best-shin-guards/): The best shin guard for most Muay Thai gyms is a Thai-style guard with a padded instep, such as the Fairtex SP5 Competition. If you are between sizes or have long or short feet, the Fairtex SP7 Twister has a detachable, swivelling instep. Neoprene sleeve guards are faster to put on but shorter, so keep them for light technical sparring. Fairtex sizes by height; Blitz and Revgear size by shin length.
- [Best heavy bag for home](https://fightnome.app/gear/best-heavy-bag-for-home/): For Muay Thai at home, get a long bag of around 180 cm so you can kick low, to the body and high. If you can hang one, the Fairtex HB6 banana bag is the classic choice; if you can't mount anything, a tall freestanding bag such as the Century Wavemaster XXL is the realistic option. A common starting weight for a hanging bag is about half your bodyweight.
- [Martial arts mats for home](https://fightnome.app/gear/martial-arts-mats-for-home/): For boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai at home, a firm 20 mm EVA jigsaw mat is the usual choice; go to 40 mm (1.5 in or more) only if you get thrown or taken down, as in BJJ, judo or MMA. Most martial arts jigsaw mats are 1 m × 1 m tiles, so a 3 × 3 m floor takes nine, one Blitz kit. Lay them on a flat hard floor, cut the last row to fit with a sharp utility knife, and clean them with a mild cleaner.
- [Heavy bag workout for beginners](https://fightnome.app/gear/heavy-bag-workout-for-beginners/): A good first heavy bag workout is six 2-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest, after a 5-minute warm-up: about 25 minutes. Give each round one focus (jab, 1-2, add the hook, body shots, combinations, a fast finisher) and stay at medium power. Always wear hand wraps under bag gloves or 12–16oz training gloves, and move to 3-minute rounds, the length of England Boxing elite rounds, once 2 minutes feels easy.
- [Shadow boxing workout for beginners](https://fightnome.app/gear/shadow-boxing-workout/): A good beginner shadow boxing workout is six 2-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest after a 5-minute warm-up, about 25 minutes, with one focus per round: footwork, the jab, straight punches (1-2), hooks and uppercuts, defence (slip, roll, step back), then a free round. It needs no equipment and about two metres of floor. Shadow box empty-handed rather than with dumbbells, and move to 3-minute rounds once 2 minutes feels easy.
- [How to train Muay Thai at home alone](https://fightnome.app/gear/muay-thai-at-home-alone/): Train Muay Thai at home in 3-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest, the IFMA senior round. A good solo session is about 35 minutes: a 5-minute warm-up, three shadowboxing rounds (footwork, single strikes, short combinations), three bag rounds (kick into block, teeps, knees) or three more shadowboxing rounds without a bag, a 4-minute circuit and a stretch. Pick one focus per session and film yourself. Alongside classes, one or two solo sessions a week is enough; the clinch, timing and sparring still need a partner.
- [Jump rope workout for boxing](https://fightnome.app/gear/jump-rope-workout-for-boxing/): Learn a low basic bounce first: jump only an inch or two, land on the balls of your feet and turn the rope with your wrists, elbows close to your sides. Then learn the boxer skip, a low shuffle from foot to foot, by drilling the footwork without the rope. A good beginner plan is five 2-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest, about 15 minutes, building to 3-minute rounds, the length of a boxing or Muay Thai round.
- [Best Thai pads](https://fightnome.app/gear/best-thai-pads/): Thai pads are bought by the person who holds them. The usual pick is a curved leather pair such as the Fairtex KPLC2 (38 × 20 × 10 cm, 2.5 kg per pair), with smaller, thicker and longer sizes in the same series. For occasional home use a synthetic curved pair is enough. If you train alone, buy a heavy bag instead.
- [Focus mitts vs Thai pads](https://fightnome.app/gear/focus-mitts-vs-thai-pads/): Buy focus mitts if you box or only punch: they sit on the holder's hands and are light to hold. Buy Thai pads if you kick: they strap along the holder's forearms and take kicks, knees and elbows as well as punches. For Muay Thai with a regular partner, get Thai pads first and add mitts later. If you train alone, buy a heavy bag instead.
- [Belly pad vs kick shield](https://fightnome.app/gear/belly-pad-vs-kick-shield/): A belly pad is worn round the holder's torso and takes body punches, knees, teeps and body kicks while both hands stay free for Thai pads or mitts. A kick shield is a large pad held by its handles, tight against the body, and suits power kicks, low kicks and conditioning drills. Buy for the drills you already do: a belly pad if you hold Thai pads, a kick shield if you and a partner take turns kicking hard. Neither is sparring protection.
- [Hand wraps guide](https://fightnome.app/gear/hand-wraps-guide/): Most adults should buy 180-inch (4.5 m) Mexican-style hand wraps: the slight stretch makes a snug, even wrap easier. Choose cotton wraps if you prefer a firm wrap that lasts longer, and 120-inch wraps for kids, small hands or snug gloves. Buy two pairs so one can dry.
- [How to wrap your hands for boxing](https://fightnome.app/gear/how-to-wrap-hands/): Put your thumb through the loop and wrap the wrist two or three times, go once round the thumb, then cover the knuckles two or three times with the hand slightly open. Go back to the wrist, cross an X over the back of the hand and pass the wrap between each pair of fingers, returning to the wrist each time. Finish with the rest of the wrap round the wrist and close the Velcro flat. It should feel snug: if your fingers tingle, go numb or change colour, wrap again with even tension.
- [Groin guards for boxing and Muay Thai](https://fightnome.app/gear/best-groin-guard/): For competition, usually yes: England Boxing requires groin protection for male boxers (optional for women), and IFMA Muay Thai rules require a guard for every athlete, men and women. Choose a brief with a built-in or detachable cup, a groin and abdomen (no-foul) protector, a laced Thai steel cup or a cup in compression shorts, in a male or female cut. Size by hip circumference on the maker's chart, and measure first: opened guards usually cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.
- [Mouthguards for boxing and Muay Thai](https://fightnome.app/gear/best-mouthguard/): England Boxing makes a gum shield mandatory for all boxers (any colour; rule 8.7), and IFMA requires a form-fitted gum shield that is not red or pink (rule 15.5). Most gyms ask for one in sparring. Start with a boil-and-bite guard: single-layer covers the upper teeth, dual-arch covers upper and lower. Blitz has Double and Single Layer models in the UK; Revgear and Fightdentist cover adults, juniors (Revgear ages 7–12) and printed options in the US.
- [How to choose a Muay Thai camp in Thailand](https://fightnome.app/gear/muay-thai-camp-thailand/): For a first trip, book one week at a camp with a beginner class, then extend: monthly rates are far cheaper per week (Lanna Muay Thai, Chiang Mai: 5,000 THB a week or 11,000 a month with a bunk and two sessions a day; Tiger Muay Thai, Phuket: 4,400 or 13,500 for training only, plus 7% VAT). Since 15 September 2026, travellers from 60 countries including the US, UK and EU get 30 days visa-free, extendable once by up to 30 days for 1,900 THB. Go in the cool season, mid-October to mid-February.

### Supplement guides
What fighters take, what the evidence and EU rules say, and how much. Hub: https://fightnome.app/supplements/

- [Creatine monohydrate](https://fightnome.app/supplements/creatine-monohydrate/): Plain creatine monohydrate is the form to buy: it is the most studied, and the EU-authorised performance claim is based on 3 g a day. People take 3 to 5 g daily, or load for 5 to 7 days first. Expect a little water weight in the first weeks, so fighters at a weight should start well before a fight camp.
- [Whey protein for fighters](https://fightnome.app/supplements/whey-protein/): You don't need protein powder if food already gets you to your daily target. If you use one, whey (isolate if lactose bothers you) is the usual pick, with plant blends for no dairy. The ISSN range for people who exercise is 1.4 to 2.0 g of protein per kg of bodyweight a day.
- [Electrolytes for training in heat](https://fightnome.app/supplements/electrolytes-training-in-heat/): For a normal one-hour session, water is usually enough. Electrolytes matter more in heat, for long sessions, two-a-days and heavy sweaters. Weigh yourself before and after training and aim to keep losses below about 2% of bodyweight (ACSM).
- [Caffeine and pre-workout](https://fightnome.app/supplements/caffeine-pre-workout/): Plain caffeine is the simplest pre-workout: EFSA considers single doses up to 200 mg safe for healthy adults, so 100 mg tablets make the dose easy to control. Studies summarised by the ISSN used 3 to 6 mg/kg about an hour before exercise. If you compete in a tested sport, only use batch-tested pre-workouts.
- [Collagen and joint support](https://fightnome.app/supplements/collagen-joint-support/): The evidence that collagen helps joints is early, and the EU has authorised no health claim for it. The small study behind the interest used gelatin with vitamin C, so if you try it, take it with vitamin C. It is not a complete protein, and a lasting joint problem needs a professional, not a supplement.

### Audio guides
Headphones that stay put through bag work and speakers that carry a round bell across a gym. Hub: https://fightnome.app/audio/

- [Earbuds for boxing & Muay Thai](https://fightnome.app/audio/earbuds-for-boxing-muay-thai/): For classes and pad work, open-ear headphones such as the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are the best choice because you still hear your coach and the bell. For solo bag work, sealed earbuds with ear hooks such as the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 stay put and sound fuller. The Soundcore Sport X20 (in-ear) and AeroFit 2 (open-ear) are budget alternatives. Treat IPX4 as the minimum sweat rating, and take earbuds out for sparring.
- [Gym speakers & round-timer audio](https://fightnome.app/audio/gym-speakers-round-timer-audio/): For a home gym, a rugged portable speaker such as the JBL Charge 6 (IP68, up to 24 hours) carries the round bell and music over bag work. For a club, use a larger speaker on mains power, mounted high, or two speakers at opposite ends of the room.

### Conditioning guides
Jump ropes, round timers, kettlebells and resistance bands for fight conditioning, a 30-minute punching bag workout and how to train boxing combos alone. Hub: https://fightnome.app/conditioning/

- [Jump ropes for fighters](https://fightnome.app/conditioning/jump-ropes-for-fighters/): Start with a beaded rope: it is the easiest to time, a common choice for learning boxing footwork, and it survives rough floors. Move to a bearing speed rope for double-unders once your timing is solid, and use a weighted rope for conditioning: our pick is the Crossrope Get Fit Bundle (Slim and Power handles, 1/4 to 2 lb ropes), with Get Lean for home on a budget and the Ropeless AMP Set for travel. Size it by height; at 166–178 cm Crossrope's chart gives a 2.59 m rope.
- [Round timers for boxing & Muay Thai](https://fightnome.app/conditioning/round-timers-boxing-muay-thai/): A boxing or Muay Thai round is normally three minutes with one minute of rest. For a club, a programmable wall timer such as the TITLE Platinum keeps everyone on one clock. At home, a compact interval timer or a round-timer app played through a speaker does the same job.
- [Kettlebells & resistance bands](https://fightnome.app/conditioning/kettlebells-resistance-bands/): Start with one cast-iron kettlebell and a set of long loop bands. StrongFirst's starting sets are 8, 12 and 16 kg for an average-strength woman and 16 and 24 kg for an average-strength man; if you buy one bell, take the lightest in your row.
- [30-minute punching bag workout at home](https://fightnome.app/conditioning/punching-bag-workout-at-home/): Warm up for five minutes, then do six 3-minute bag rounds with one minute of rest, giving each round one focus: jab, 1-2, add the hook, body and head, defense, finish. End with five minutes of push-ups, squats and planks. Keep power around 60 to 70 percent and bring your hands back to your face after every combo.
- [How to train boxing combos alone](https://fightnome.app/conditioning/how-to-train-boxing-combos-alone/): Pick two or three combos per session, drill them slowly in shadowboxing first, then on the bag, and use something that calls the combo out loud (a partner, a recording or an audio app) so you react instead of reading. Reaction is the part solo training usually misses.
