The New Standard in MMA Gear

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Modern MMA fight training is about to enter a new era. No longer is the same old lame training gear ok. Stopping to change MMA gear to suit the days training lesson will have you training to wait or hesitate. A good example is what one of my instructors used to say:

“When you throw a kick- swing all the way through, don’t stop and pull back! If you train to stop and pull your kicks, when you actually fight, you’ll pull your kicks then!”

As the sport of MMA evolves, the equipment has to keep pace or you will be at a disadvantage. As the fight game gets more competitive you need every advantage you can get. You never know when a decision may rest on your ability to transition from the ground to standup- without hesitation!

If you have ever done any weight training, you know that bodybuilders are constantly looking for tricks, anything, to get that extra edge that can make their workout payoff. MMA fight training is now entering this phase of the sport. As fighters train they are looking for that small training tip or trick that can squeak them through a close decision.

The MMA gear that modern fighters train with is in need of some serious reinvention. Ever notice every glove looks the same… Same features… Same look. Shin guards are the same but they can be even worse. Shin guards come in 2 flavors- grappling and stand up. If you’re rolling you need guards that won’t shift. If you are doing stand up, you just want protection. You don’t care about much than the application. Wake-up call! As MMA, Mixed Martial Arts, fighters- you need something that will work without having to stop or worry about whether they will suit the need.

Grappling & Striking Shin Guards

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a shin guard that had the extra padding required for serious striking and also had the staying ability of the grappling shin guards? Combat sports tried to solve this by making a set of shin guards that had Velcro strap-like socking as an attachment, with some extra padding. In my opinion they fell short. The sock-like straps are worse than regular straps and the padding was not reinforced enough to add any further protection.

Plus the nightmare of getting the grappling style shin guards off. OMG!!!

I have a pair of guards returned by a customer that have the main pad almost ripped from the sleeve. The person had a real hard time getting them off and wound up destroying them. I had to eat the ruined pair…

Fairtex MMA Gloves – MMA Gloves – MMA Training Gloves

Fairtex MMA Gloves

Fairtex MMA Gloves

When it comes to the different typles of MMA gloves, the choices are not too wide and the feature are not too great either.

Padding can either be for sparring, bag work of competition.

The sparring gloves have more padding than all other gloves. Sparring gloves have finger slots that you old on to the glove padding with, freeing your fingers to grab with. You might think the extra padding is to protect your hands- wrong. To protect your sparring partner…

Bag gloves are pretty much designed so you don’t chew your hand up as they skip accross the face of the striking bag- It’s 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. You don’t need it.

When it come to competition gloves, there are standards.The paddin alone need to weight 4-5 ounces. The knuckles are protected and so too are the backs of the hands. The various fighting leagues have their own standards and their gloves are the only ones you can use.

Appearance

The way a gloves looks is probably one of th most important parts of the shopping experience. I have sold a lot of gloves and the coolness factor is one of the most important feature. The graphic designs range from camo to blood- both very popular. But still, the basic black glove with a good quality logo graphic stamped on it sell pretty good.

Leather or Vinyl

I personally like the leather gloves. The way the material breaths and stretches can’t be compared to vinyl. Vinyl gloves I have found the the edges irritate the shin of t fingers and also cracks with use. They just can’t compare to tough hide. Keep these things in mind in your next mma gloves purchase. What is the purpose of the glove? Sparring, training or competition. How important is the appearance? And finally, spend a couple of extra bucks. The cow hide will be much better on your hands and also last a whole lot longer.

Renegade’s Video Product Review

This is a video demo of the UFC Official Training glove.

Back to Blog

Small/Med
Large/X-Large

The Gloves come in Black with the classic Red Logo and are also available with the Silver “distressed” looking logo

There are no surprizes with the sizes. As a person of average build, 6 foot 200 pounds, the Large/X-Large fit best. If you are looking for a tight fit, you could go with the smaller size- but they will be tight. Don’t forget to consider hand and wraps too…

The gloves are great at first, but after a while they begin to fray along the edges and one of my students complained that they were bothering one of his fingers. The simulated leather is what makes them not one of my first choices. I do like the long wrist strap that allows for increased wrist support. Another plus- they don’t cost a lot so if you go through them quick it will not be as painful.

 Renegade’s Video Product Review

Manufacturing Information

The Ultimate Training Gloves are Manufactured and distributed by Century Martial Arts, an Oklahoma based company. The gloves are actually sewn together in Pakistan and then shipped to the United States.

Colors

Comes in Red/Black or Silver/Black

Sizing

The Training Gloves come in Adult Small, Medium, Large, XL, XXL

As a 6 foot, 200 lb. person, I normally use a size large. The Training size large was a good fit. I found that the XL fit a little too big. Unlike the Official Fight Gloves they do not expand and contract, they are not real leather. They are pretty much the same as the Official Fight’s except they are fake leather. Nice training glove.

Customers’ Comments

this product i use it to practice my boxing skills, at the instant i put them on fells grate, like a pro, i just dont like that is just a liltle big .. thats all but above all is grate ..

I use the gloves when i go to my Thai boxing classes down the street. The gloves are almost like their not even there.

These gloves work out so well for training, messing around, and very cool to wear. I’ve actually never seen these in Milwaukee nor seen anyone else have them in Milwaukee, and lots of people who see me fight always wonder where did I get them from and how good they are. I simply answer, UFC Store and if you want quality gloves that’s where you better go to and quit messing around with the gloves from other sites.

Wow My son loves these gloves good thing i bought these ones instead of the other ones these are probably the best ones
Great fit for him. There is nothing wrong with these gloves AT ALL!!!

Training in Kickboxing and Jui-jitsu and these gloves are greatTeam-Renegade-email-banner

MMA Gloves-Major Brands

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

When you begin your quest for a quality pair of MMA gloves, you are going to find 3 main brands: UFC, Fairtex and Combat sports. All 3 are great companies and you will find that only their look and design features are all that set them apart.

UFC MMA Gloves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most popular are the UFC brand. The UFC Official Fight cost about $54.99 and when you use them up- you will probably feel bad about throwing them away. This is the only glove approved to be worn by UFC fighters in the Octagon™. The only glove tested and approved by the UFC® and required in the Octagon® for all Ultimate Fighting Championship® events.

Combat Sports MMA Gloves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Combat Sports is endorsed by world champion fighters, instructors, promoters and sanctioning bodies worldwide as the leader and innovator in MMA Gloves.

Combat Sports equipment is “Engineered for Top Performance”. Combat Sports has become one of the hottest brands in the Combat Sports equipment industry with over 25 distributors worldwide. Combat Sports’ collection of fighting gloves include both sparring and competition style gloves.

They have Mexican style pro training gloves, MMA Shin Guards, grappling shin guards, grappling gloves, mma rash guards, mma training gloves and more.

I do a lot of bag work, so I really like the wrist support of this glove. It has a really long strap that allows a double wrap. The glove also saves your hands from getting torn up with a good ¾ inches of padding.

Fairtex Gloves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah- Fairtex… What nice gloves. In my line of work, I have used many brands of gloves- UFC, Combat Sports, Hayabusa, Century. Fairtex have a great fit and perform quite well. The MMA competition gloves have good padding and a nice wrist strap design. The sparring gloves have tons of padding and also a nice long wrist strap.

Things to Consider

Before you run out and buy a pair of MMA Gloves, there are a few things to consider. What will you be using them for, how much are you willing to spend and how much does brand mean to you…

I recommend to my customers that training gloves do not have to be expensive. Why spend a fortune on gloves that will be used-up and sweaty?

Many fighters are into the vanity thing- well at least until the first time they get punched in the nose and their eyes well-up with tears. Get past the looks and get a good glove!

Shop around. When you are ready to purchase, go here for the best prices on all MMA gloves…

MMA Gear You Need-UFC Gear-Fight Gear

Monday, August 31st, 2009

There are 2 main pieces of MMA Gear that need to be considered in mixed martial arts: MMA Gloves and MMA Shin Guards. There are other necessary pieces of MMA gear too, like Mouth Piece, Groin protection and head gear. We will only be discussing the Hand and leg protection because there are different applications and the right MMA gear is crucial.
 

MMA Gloves

When It comes to choosing what brand of MMA Gloves to purchase, there are a couple of key things to consider. What will you be using them for, how much are you willing to spend and how much does brand mean to you…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tell my customers that when buying gloves to train with- go cheap. Why spend a fortune on gloves that will be used-up hitting a bag and get all sweaty?

MMA Shin Guards

In mixed martial arts, there are 3 major types of shin guards: Grappling, kickboxing or striking and muay thai. Muay thai and MMA are both striking styles, while muay thai guards are more padded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grappling shin guards are designed with padding in mind and also with staying on while rolling too. Most of these type have a sock type way of keeping the guard in place.

The Muay Thai shin guards are built to take heavy hits. These guards almost always have a re-enforcement down the front of the guard. The method of keeping them on is not as emphasized as with the grappling type.

Striking style shin guards used in Kickboxing. Kickboxing shin guards are not as concerned with keeping the guard on when on the ground. I am still surprised at the guards lack of added padding along the front.

Find an Excellent MMA Gear Supplier

There are other pieces of gear to consider like: A good mouth piece; a quality groin guard (don’t skimp here…); head protection; hand wraps; even a quality chest protector for stand-up training. And don’t forget a large gear bag to carry everything around in!

As an MMA fighter, it’s important to have all of this equipment or your career will be filled with injury after injury As a struggling fighter, the last thing you need is to pay inflated prices.

Go to this site now. They not only have excellent prices on all gear but they also have an unbelievable Blog that is chock full of Videos, Articles, Product Reviews, Customer Feedback and Recommendations. These guys are real martial artists that know what they are talking about!

The Fight Gloves comes in Adult Small, Medium, Large, XL, XXL, XXXL

As a 6 foot, 200 lb. person, I normally use a size large. The Fight Glove size large was a bit tight. I found that the XL fit much better and still fit snuggly. When they are too tight, the gloves tend to cut off the circulation in your fingers.
