Building Your Complete MMA Training Kit

Whether you train boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, or BJJ, having the right gear makes your training safer, more effective, and more enjoyable. This guide covers every piece of equipment in a complete fight kit so you know exactly what to prioritize.

Striking Gear

MMA Gloves Buying Guide: Types, Sizes & What to Look For

Why MMA Gloves Are Different from Boxing Gloves

MMA gloves are open-fingered, allowing fighters to grapple, clinch, and apply submissions while still providing knuckle protection for striking. Unlike boxing gloves, MMA gloves are designed to be versatile — functional both standing up and on the ground.

Types of MMA Gloves

1. Training / Sparring Gloves

Training gloves have more padding than competition gloves to protect both the wearer and the sparring partner. They typically weigh between 6–7 oz and are ideal for bag work, pad work, and sparring sessions.

2. Competition Gloves

Competition gloves are lighter (4–6 oz) with less padding to allow for greater striking speed and sensitivity. Most professional organizations specify approved glove models. These are not recommended for heavy bag training due to the reduced padding.

3. Grappling Gloves

Grappling-specific gloves have minimal padding and focus on protecting the knuckles during ground-and-pound while maintaining full finger dexterity for submissions. Ideal for grappling-focused training sessions.

How to Choose the Right Size

MMA gloves are typically sized by hand circumference:

  • Small: 6–7 inch hand circumference
  • Medium: 7–7.5 inch
  • Large: 7.5–8 inch
  • X-Large: 8+ inch

A well-fitted MMA glove should feel snug around the palm with fingers able to curl naturally without restriction.

Key Quality Indicators

  • Leather or synthetic leather shell for durability
  • Multi-layer foam padding for shock absorption
  • Reinforced thumb attachment to prevent thumb injuries
  • Secure wrist closure (velcro or lace-up)
