Hawks UFC Pride MMA Gloves - The Perfect MMA Gloves for Sparring?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Check it out…I came across a pair of MMA gloves on eBay that looks perfect for sparring! They're the the "Hawks MMA Sparring Gloves", and it's 10oz, well padded and looks pretty damn sturdy (not to mention an nice variety of colors :)). You can see pictures of the MMA gloves here.
Most of the MMA gloves that I've come across has very little padding, so if you're not careful when you're sparring with them, you could hurt somebody (and end up losing a training partner!)
I have MMA gloves from Canbox.ca, and they make my fists feel like a couple of rocks…and definately not good for your sparring partner's face!
Grappling with boxing gloves is safer, but very combersome once you get into situations where you have to take a grip on your training partner.
But…these Hawks mixed martial arts sparring gloves look like they have the cushioning of boxing gloves, and the open-hand design of MMA gloves.
I think I might order a couple in the future (very tempting). If I do, I'll post a detailed review on the site.
Hawks also sells a variety of different types of MMA gloves, boxing gloves, and other martial arts equipment.
Check out thier eBay store (free shipping in the USA! Too bad not to Canada…bah):

Damn, those IMF gloves do look pretty sweet!
