MMA Training Gloves

These are open-palm gloves designed for mixed martial arts, where the hand has to close for striking and open for grappling in the same round. Each glove uses a pre-curved 18 mm layered foam knuckle pad, shaped rather than flat, so the fingers sit in a natural curl and the padding does not shift on impact. The shell is 1.0-1.2 mm genuine leather on the pro line and a reinforced microfibre on volume lines, both stitched with locked seams at the finger gussets, the area that splits first on low-grade gloves.

Fingers are separated with a leather bridge that keeps the glove aligned but allows a full grip. The palm is open with a padded palm bar to protect the hand during grips and takedowns. Wrist support comes from a 50 mm elasticated strap with hook-and-loop closure that wraps above the wrist bone, plus an internal foam roll for lateral support.

Available in S, M, L and XL with 4 oz and 7 oz padding options, 7 oz is usually specified for sparring, 4 oz for competition-style training. Common customizations include sublimated microfibre panels (full-colour, no extra cost at volume), team embroidery, printed size labels and custom mesh carry bags.
