Has anyone else ever used the official Chuck Norris fingerless wristwrap gloves? I purchased mine in 1999 and they still do the trick. They aren't as pretty as the used to be but they still hold up.

I had a pair. The gripbar sucks for grappling and teaches bad habits on the bag IMO.

I may as well ask this while I'm here: what's a good, cheap pair of sparring gloves for standup work? I'm looking to get two pairs of pretty soft gloves on a limited budget, since sparring with bag gloves == teh suck.

I have a 16oz pair of these, and they ROCK:



Like whiteshark said, for hard standup you need a pair of good MT gloves.

The Chuck Norris gloves are really good, you just have to remove the bar in the hand grip and they are good to go. I have a pair of Century gloves that are similar. I also removed the bar. I still think the CN gloves are better.

I'd like to get some of the open palm and thumb gloves though. I know its good to have thumb protection but I don't like all the extra crap on my hands.

Gloves from Fairtex look good but expensive, does anybody use them?

Can anyone recommend a pair of decent cheap mma gloves? A guy I train with wants a pair but he's broke. The total budget including shipping is around 45 euro.

[Govithoy]

...45euro doesn't seem too broke to me for one pair of gloves.

As someone just beginning in MT/MMA on a budget, I'm looking for an "all-around" glove that can do for the first few months of training until I get a job over the summer. The gym I train at currently has gloves for people to use (presumably the 16oz ones I used in the boxing class) but I'd like to get my own for sparring/practicing, and because frankly communal gloves just plain kinda suck. The 16oz Combat Sports ones Wolf posted above look like they'd do the trick, but since I'm doing BJJ as well, I want to be able to spar and use grappling as well.

Does anyone know of a company that makes big mma gloves? I've looked at quite a few web sites and all I can find are XL and those are too small.

I just started useing the CombatSports MMA sparring gloves and I like em. They take a little to get used to and you need to strech out the pinky loop or it'll pull your finger up even in a fist. They work good for getting in some striking while rolling. They are front loaded and padded up pretty good so you aren't going to hurt a guy too bad if your going 50%-75%.

I use Title MMA gloves for my competition gloves. I do not recomend them for bag work though as they are pretty rough on the hands. But they offer up a free range of movement and good wrist support and they have a pretty aggressive profile so a good glancing hit has a better than average chance of opening up a cut.

thanks, I appreciate the help

I've used these for ten months and they're still holding up well.


Though they are a pain to put them on.
