Combat Sports MMA Amateur Competition Gloves

My hand is 9.1 inches around knuckles and I bought the large size. The fit was tight in the beginning even without wraps. With wraps it was super tight and uncomfortable. But after a while, the gloves broke in and now they are just perfect for my hands while wearing wraps. Without wraps they feel too loose now. So keep this in mind, these gloves require a break in period before they feel right.Regarding protection. This really depends on what you want from the gloves and your expectations. I wanted gloves that allow to hit the same way as with bare knuckles, but offer some knuckle protection. You can get 4 ounce UFC/MMA type gloves, but they don't offer any significant protection (no matter which brand). I tried some 7 ounce gloves, but they forced me to hit in a wrong way.After a break in period (but not when new), these gloves allow to make a correct fist structure and hit the same way as with bare knuckles. They offer more protection than 4 once UFC/MMA fight gloves, but don't expect any miracles here. These are not boxing gloves. If when you hit, your knuckles are not flush with the surface (you hit) or your wrist is bent, you are going to hurt your self. The gloves offer some wrist protection, which is nice, but it's not sufficient to protect against bad punching technique like boxing gloves can do. You can do heavy punching on a bag with these gloves, but each and every punch has to land correctly or you will hurt your self. If you use these gloves for sparring, they will give you protection IF AND ONLY IF you land the punches correctly. However, they will not protect your sparring partner. They hit like a slightly padded brick. They can be used only for light sparring.One negative, but minor thing (for me at least). These gloves have rough surface on the inside, which rubbed off the skin from my knuckles during the first couple of sessions when I didn't use wraps (they felt too tight with wraps in the beginning). I solved this by putting tape over my knuckles and then wrapping on top. This is really the only and very minor negative. I should have used the wraps from the beginning to prevent this.Overall, these are great gloves.

Used daily. Takes a beating on mitts, bags and sparring. They have held up great considering the heavy use. Its well worth the price. They have good room with short wraps and if sized right gel wraps will also fit. On large hands gel wraps did not work out well. The leather is hi-quality in my option. Compared to some other brand names I feel these are a top 10 pick in MMA gloves I have used. Keep in mind they are not pro gloves as they have the thumb guard. I would buy again.

ugh. i had a pair of combat sports gloves that I loved (gel mma), but the past two pairs (including this one) were just meh. The quality of material is great! However, the design is not good. The thickest part of the glove is at the knuckle, such that your knuckle doesn't "seat" in the glove. Hard to explain until you feel it. RDX Amazon's Choice became my choice. Combat Sports gel mma would top the RDX, but 2x the price.

I recently purchased these gloves and was very pleased. They offer great protection for my hand while punching while still allowing me to grab things. Only reason i didnt give tthem 5 stars was due to stiching on the velcro straps. It works, i just feel those stiches could be a little higher quality.

nice quality gloves... but I did not like how the padding over the knuckles put excessive pressure on my knuckles when making a fist.... so I sent them back.

Well constructed. ALL Combat Sports' amateur MMA gloves that I used (3) are better design & made than the other big names (Haya####, Riv##, Tit## etc.). Highly recommended.

Good gloves good for grappling and mma drilling.

My blackbelt daughter loves these gloves. She spars hard and these gloves take the pounding as well as her opponent. Quality glove at a good price.

Resistentes y cómodos una vez que se han amoldado a tu mano. No son guantes que sean cómodos en los 2 ó 3 primeros entrenamientos, pero después permiten cerrar bien el puño y protegen bien la mano.Ya llevo tiempo con estos guantes y no me decepcionan para nada. Muy buenos para sparring, grappling y golpear el saco. Protegen de maravilla la mano, y con el tiempo se han vuelto más cómodos. Los únicos detalles que podrían ser un problema serían una imperfección en el tejido del cuero y que el logotipo en negro se despinta con mucha facilidad, pero para mí no es un problema y hasta puede darle estilo a los guantes.Cuando lleguen a ser inutilizables mis guantes actuales, seguramente compraré otro par igual.

Son unos guantes que cumplen muy bien su función, altamente recomendables. Además protegen muy bien las manos de los luchadores.

Muy buenos los mejores que eh adquirido hasta el dia de hoy, muy comodos y de material durable y de buen ver! Sin duda de los mejores!
