MMA Gear You Need

MMA Gear

There are 2 main pieces of MMA Gear that need to be considered in mixed martial arts: MMA Gloves and MMA Shin Guards. There are other necessary pieces of MMA gear too, like Mouth Piece, Groin protection and head gear. We will only be covering hand and leg MMA Gear because the type of application, grappling or striking, is very important to understand 

MMA Gloves

 

When It comes to choosing what brand of MMA Gloves to purchase, there are a couple of key things to consider. What will you be using them for, how much are you willing to spend and how much does brand mean to you…

I recommend to my customers that training gloves do not have to be expensive. Why spend a fortune on gloves that will be used-up hitting a bag and get all sweaty?

MMA Shin Guards

In mixed martial arts, there are 3 major types of shin guards: Grappling, kickboxing or striking and muay thai. Muay thai and MMA are both striking styles, while muay thai guards are more padded.

Grappling shin guards are designed to stay on when grappling and also provide padding when standing up. Most of these type have a sock type way of keeping the guard in place.

The Muay Thai shin guards are built to take heavy hits. These guards almost always have a re-enforcement down the front of the guard. The way they are kept on is not concerned with the ground game.

Striking style shin guards used in Kickboxing. Kickboxing shin guards are not as concerned with keeping the guard on when on the ground. I am still surprised at the guards lack of added padding along the front.
