Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) gloves are gloves specially designed for the sport of MMA. They are designed with less padding and protection than traditional boxing gloves or sparring gloves, so that the fighter has a better grip and freedom of movement. Here are some features of MMA gloves:
  • Light weight: MMA gloves are usually lighter than other types of gloves, which gives the fighter more freedom of movement and prevents fatigue.
  • Less padding: MMA gloves have less padding and padding than boxing gloves or sparring gloves, so the fighter can feel and grip better.
  • Flexibility: Due to the less padding and light weight, MMA gloves can give the fighter more freedom of movement while fighting.

What is the difference between an MMA glove and an MMA sparring glove?

The main difference is the padding of the gloves. The padding on the regular gloves is thin and provides protection for the knuckles. These gloves are lighter and offer more flexibility than sparring gloves, which makes the gloves extremely suitable for practicing your gripping and clamping techniques (grappling & submissions).

Sparring gloves have a thicker padding than the regular MMA gloves, so that you have more protection during sparring sessions and you are less likely to hit each other with a black eye.

The Sparring MMA gloves are also heavier, which in combination with the thicker padding offers extra protection to your hands.

What size MMA gloves should I choose?

The right size MMA glove depends on the size of your hand. Here are some guidelines to determine the correct size:

  • Measure the circumference of the widest part of your hand (usually just above the knuckles) with a tape measure
  • Compare this circumference with the glove size charts (this differs per brand)

Keep in mind that gloves can expand over time, so it's best to choose them slightly tighter than loose. If you are between two sizes, it is usually better to choose the smaller size. If you are in doubt, it is best to visit our store in Amsterdam to try on the gloves.
