Choosing the right MMA gloves is a crucial step for any fighter, whether amateur or professional. These not only protect your hands during fights and training, but can also significantly influence your performance. At our MMA store , we understand the importance of selecting the perfect gloves, and that is why we want to offer you a detailed guide to facilitate your decision.
Key Factors for Choosing MMA Gloves
When considering which MMA gloves to buy, it is essential to focus on two primary aspects: the purpose of use and the quality of the material and brand.
Use of Gloves
Gloves vary depending on the type of training or competition for which they are intended:
- For bag or mitt work, gloves should offer robust padding to protect the hands and allow the wrestler to apply full force without fear of injury.
- Sparring gloves are designed with extra padding to protect both the user and their training partner, being slightly heavier for this purpose.
- In professional competitions, lighter, less padded gloves are used to facilitate mobility and grappling techniques, although this requires more careful control of the force applied in punches.
Selection by Material and Brand
The quality of MMA gloves can vary significantly depending on the material and brand. We recommend natural leather gloves for their durability and superior quality. However, there are high-quality options in synthetic materials that can be more affordable. Brands such as Venum, Leone and Buddha are known for their excellent value for money, ensuring that you receive a product that protects your hands and improves your training and competition performance.
How to Measure Your Hand for MMA Gloves
Knowing your correct hand size is essential to finding a glove that fits well and is comfortable. You can measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles with a sewing meter to find your ideal size:
- S: between 18 cm and 19 cm
- M: between 19 cm and 20 cm
- L: between 20 cm and 23 cm
- XL: between 23 cm and 25.5 cm
Choosing the right gloves is as important as any other aspect of your MMA training. A good pair of gloves will protect you, give you confidence in your hitting and help you improve your practice. Remember to carefully consider the use, quality, brand and size to make the best possible choice.
