MMA Grappling gloves with Velcro wrist strap. Open hand, black.

MMA grappling gloves are specialized gloves designed for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) practitioners. They are a crucial piece of equipment for fighters, as they cater to the diverse range of techniques used in MMA, including striking, grappling, and submissions. Here’s a breakdown of their characteristics and how they differ from traditional boxing or striking gloves:

Characteristics of MMA Grappling Gloves

  • Padding: MMA gloves have significantly less padding compared to traditional boxing gloves. This reduced padding allows for more precise and powerful strikes, while still offering some protection to the hands and knuckles.
  • Finger Freedom: They are designed with open fingers, enabling fighters to execute grappling techniques, such as clinches, holds, and submissions, with greater ease and dexterity than would be possible with closed-fist gloves.
  • Weight: MMA gloves are lighter than traditional boxing gloves, boxing gloves can range from 8 to 16 ounces or more, depending on their intended use (training, sparring, competition).
  • Design: The design of MMA gloves is such that it offers a compromise between protection during strikes and the flexibility needed for grappling. They usually feature a more ergonomic design that fits snugly around the hand and wrist, providing support and stability.

Differences from Normal Fighting Gloves

  • Padding and Protection: The most significant difference is in the padding. Boxing gloves are designed to protect both the user’s hands and their opponent’s head from serious injury during repeated high-impact strikes. MMA gloves, with their reduced padding, offer less protection but greater versatility for the range of techniques used in MMA.
  • Purpose and Versatility: Boxing gloves are primarily designed for punching, with their weight and padding distributing the force of the punch to minimize hand and wrist injuries, as well as to protect the opponent from cuts and bruises. MMA gloves, on the other hand, need to accommodate the grappling aspect of MMA, allowing fighters to grip and apply submissions, which is why they have open fingers.
  • Weight: Due to their design and the need for less padding, MMA gloves are much lighter than boxing gloves. This difference in weight affects the speed and type of strikes fighters can deliver, as well as their ability to grapple effectively.

In summary, MMA grappling gloves are tailored to the multifaceted nature of Mixed Martial Arts, balancing the need for effective striking with the ability to perform intricate grappling techniques. In contrast, traditional fighting gloves, such as boxing gloves, are optimized for protection and performance in their specific domain, which is striking. This specialization makes each type of glove uniquely suited to its respective sport.
