6 Tips to Consider When Buying MMA Gloves

1. Stay away from cheaply made non leather gloves.  We don't recommend them because 1) a good pair of mma gloves provide more protection for your wrist and knuckles 2) a good pair will be durable and last you a long time 3) a decent pair will have an open palm design and will offer you better functionality during your training.

2. Do your research and get several price quotes from several different stores.  Typically, the more you deal with the various companies, the better deals they will come up with such as discounts and offers.

3. Do take care of your MMA Gloves.  Whether they require quite a bit or a little cleaning from all the sweat, dirt and blood, Keeping them clean and the straps  in good condition can be the difference between having a great pair of gloves and a pair that won’t last 5 minutes.

4. Since buying MMA Gloves is a big investment for most people, choose your brand and style carefully.  As with any product, a brand new company may not be around in a few years time. A brand with a reputation for high quality is necessary for some people.  So figure out which brand you prefer and buy accordingly.  If you know which particular pair of gloves you like, you might want to save a few dollars with an Internet purchase.  Others may need to try pairs of gloves on before you know which brand best suits you and your style.

5. MMA Gloves are different from most fighting gloves because they need to give the fighter the ability to strike and grapple so choose a pair that has an open palm design.  All the different MMA Brands have their own variation of the open palm design 4 oz gloves with some offering partially covered palms with others using a mesh material covering the bottom of the hand.

6. A great final tip is if you want to save a bit of money.  Due to the influence of MMA becoming so mainstream, the lower end mma gloves are getting better and better while the price is holding the line and the ones being made today in the £35 range are much better than the £70 gloves made 5 years ago.  If you need to save a few bucks and most websites will have last season’s stock and will sell brand new gloves at next to nothing prices.  If you choose a pair that is from an established brand you will get a pair that is cheap but will also last you a long time. 

Follow these tips when choosing your next pair of MMA Gloves and you can’t go wrong.
