Information About MMA Gloves

When it comes to the different types of MMA gloves, the choices aren’t too wide.

The sparring gloves have more padding than all other types of gloves. Sparring gloves have finger slots that you hold onto the glove padding with, freeing your fingers to grab with. You might think the extra padding is to protect your hands? Well, that would be incorrect it’s actually to protect your sparring partner!

Bag gloves are designed so you don’t wreck your hands up as they skip across the face of the striking bag – It can be more of a friction burn. These types of gloves also have a longer wrist wrap that helps support the wrist. The padding is not as great because the striking surface is padded.

When it come to competition gloves, there is high standards! The padding alone needs to weigh 4-5 ounces. The knuckles are protected and so are the backs of the hands. The various fighting leagues have their own standards and their gloves are the only ones you can use.

The Appearance The way a gloves looks is probably one of the most important parts for most people. I have sold a lot of gloves and the coolness factor is one of the most important feature. The basic black glove with a good quality logo still seems the most popular.

Leather or Vinyl

I think the leather ones tend to be a lot better quality! The way the material breaths and stretches can’t be compared to vinyl. Also the leather gloves will last much longer too!
