Training vs sparring vs competition
- Training (Hybrid) gloves – Balanced padding for bag work, mitts, and drilling
- Sparring gloves – Additional padding for partner safety during live rounds
- Competition gloves – Compact padding and maximum mobility for sanctioned competition
- If you spar consistently, use gloves designed specifically for sparring.
Padding density
- More padding increases protection
- Less padding improves speed and hand feel
- For higher-contact sparring, prioritize protection. For drilling and pad work, mobility becomes more important.
Wrist support
- Secure hook-and-loop closure
- Extended wrist strap
- Firm internal structure
- MMA stand-up work often happens at changing angles. Stable wrist support reduces strain over time.
Construction & durability
- Synthetic builds offer affordability and solid durability
- Genuine leather typically lasts longer
- Reinforced stitching is important for grappling wear
- Because MMA includes clinch work and mat-based transitions, durability is critical.
