How are you this week? We hope you find our pages easy to read.", "team": "Our company is young, founded in 2024, but the people behind it have spent many years on the mats. One of our co-founders is a former Greek special forces sergeant who trains and fights in kickboxing and other martial arts, and his daughters fight too. Most of our partners train in boxing or BJJ, so each of us has a story to tell, and we test the gear we sell ourselves.", "brands": "We distribute only premium and professional brands. We are the official EU distributor of Superare boxing gloves, handcrafted in Italy, and Ronin pearl weave BJJ gis. Competition eligibility depends on the model and the event's current rules. Ronin lists us as its authorized dealer for Greece.", "vision": "Our vision is simple: fighters in Europe should be able to buy professional equipment, especially from American brands, without paying a fortune in import duties and customs clearance. We import and clear customs ourselves, so European buyers never pay import fees at the door.", "ownSeries": "On rare occasions we also make our own small series of BJJ gis and boxing gloves, made to order with artisans we have worked with since years before Paragon was founded. It is rare, premium and not meant to be commercial. We believe it is unlike anything else, and it mostly travels by word of mouth between fighters. You can ask us about it privately.", "shipping": "We ship every order with DHL from Athens. Shipping is free everywhere in the EU. Outside the EU, including the United Kingdom and the United States, the customer pays one flat fee, €65 for standard or €84.99 for express. We prepay all customs duties and taxes to DHL ourselves, so that flat fee is the only cost: nothing more to pay and nothing to handle at the door. So far we have delivered to customers in Germany, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil and New Zealand. Every order has a 2 year warranty and 15 day returns." }, "weather": "This morning it is 26°C and clear and sunny here.", "note": null, "question": { "q": "How long does it take to break in new leather boxing gloves?", "a": "New Italian leather gloves feel stiff at first, which is normal. The leather softens and moulds to your hand over roughly the first 10 to 15 sessions, so give them two to three weeks before judging the fit.", "source":
