Gladiator Bag Mitt MMA Gloves Used Daily by World Champions - Cowhide Leather Boxing Gloves for Accurate Hand Strengthening (Red, XL)

These are exactly what I was hoping for - a minimalist but structurally sound vintage-style boxing glove with very little padding/protection, but total coverage. Helps prevent lacerations and mitt/bag burn so you can keep training, but requires you to practice good wrist alignment and knuckle placement. If you're looking for something to help you with bare-knuckle training, without being bare knuckle, this is the best option I've run across so far.

I've been looking for a pair of punching bag gloves for some time. I've gone to several sporting goods stores and did not find what I was looking for - disappointing, to say the least. I did some extensive research and on Amazon and after reviewing all the various options (and reviews), I decided to give these mitts a try. After having received them, I took them to the YMCA with me, to give them a "test drive." They fit GREAT and I"m very appreciative of the leather quality of these gloves. The wrap around strap at the wrist is easy to grasp and tighten as you put the mitts on. It's been about a month now and the mitts' leather is becoming softer and more pliable. I cannot express just how much I appreciate the quality of these mitts. I think you'll find the same experience. PROS: Quality, LEATHER, easy to put on/off CONS: None noted at the time of this writing

Not exactly what was expected. This are think, and their purpose seems to be some protection for bags work. I think it is more about want the user is looking for. I will pass and continue to use a lighter sparring glove for same purpose.

Not over stuffed. Just right. Comfort and fits well on the hands

Had these gloves for over a year now and it’s money well spent. Still holding up great and I don’t take it easy on em at all when hitting the bag. I almost only use these now when hitting the bag since they train you to squeeze your fist on impact but help you keep em open and relaxed otherwise. I’m 5’11, around 160 lbs and got a medium. They fit nice. Keep your nails clipped because they can dig into the gloves when you have your fists balled up while using em. Still should always wrap your hands while using em though. Great material that’s built to last. I love the old school look to em and people compliment em often for that same reason.

My coach trains top fighters to this day and he recommended I get this pair to work on accuracy, technique and hand strength. After some research I saw top fighters like Bivol wearing these gloves so I was pretty sure I wanted them by then and I got them off Amazon because it’s ships very fast. The gloves arrived 3 days ago looking fresh, very high quality materials, very sturdy, real leather and hand finished. It’s just a really good glove, which is hard to find now at that price range. I truly recommend this to everyone, it will massively help you improve your accuracy and hand strength like nothing else!

These are perfect in design and construction. I do martial arts/kickboxing. Very hardy and very comfortable to clench a complete fist. This type of mitt is the best way to build proper bunching form and real feel the bag whilst not shredding your knuckles. I often use them with my hand wraps underneath for extended sessions and wrist support. And, they look cool too (I go the white to match my various other glove types). Highly recommend for anyone who wants to train old-school to get their hand/wrist angles/ from correct with a clenched fist. This kinda of mitt will hell iron out all the defects in your striking. Before this, I've only seen/used kinda crappy/cheap ones. Worth the investment.

Great old school bag gloves! Durable, very well made. Surprisingly breathable. Real leather. I would recommend a size large for regular fists size. My fist are not large, but a large fits perfect for me. You could wear with wraps. Great tool to work on your punching mechanics!

Smells terrible but it gets better after 2 weeks
