MMA Bag Gloves
I have been training a lot of different striking arts over the years from Kung Fu, to Karate, Kickboxing of many varieties and I have also done plenty of cardio kickboxing workouts as a fitness instructor. Versatile heavy bag gloves can help enhance your training and allow you to do more things. Sure you can do your striking training with regular gloves but the MMA Bag gloves will offer more wrist and impact protection which will benefit your wrists in the long run. If you look in my gym bag I have like 5 different pairs of gloves, shin guards, and cups all for different occasions. It can get expensive, but if you spend your time buying your training gear you can get quality pieces that will last you a while.
When I’m doing bag or pad work I like to use my MMA bag gloves because they give me the open finger option which is very convenient for many things. It also closer resembles the gloves I would use in competition. Regular Boxing or heavy bag gloves are great for rounds of striking practice and other drills for boxing and kickboxing. However I typically like to use my MMA bag gloves so I can grab the bag and work in some knees and other attacks. It also helps me when I need a drink of water or when I have to take a leak. When you are buying MMA bag gloves you want to find something that is going to offer wrist protection as well as hand protection for impact.
