Mma Heavybah Equipment?
i am ready to purchase my first heavy bag and i want to know what type of gloves i should buy for a reasonable price. i have seen UFC fighting gloves, UFC training gloves, and boxing gloves. i was wondering what would be the best for a standard striking workout.
16oz bag gloves are my pick for the best gloves you can get.
Everlast and Title have some reasonably priced bag gloves starting at around $30.
Get a timer w/ a bell and jump rope and do the following
Warm up with 3 minutes of rope jump – shadow box for a minute
(repeat)
Strap on the gloves:
Do a minute of non-stop jabs on the heavy bag
Do another minute of jab, cross’
Do another minute of jab, cross, hooks
(1 minute break & repeat)
* when on the heavy bag try to circle around the bag while punching
heavy bag gloves are your best bet…they usually run around 20-30 bucks the best place to go IMO is here its where i get everything reasonable prices and fast shipping

i don’t think mma gloves are to be used on heavy bags.
the MMA competition gloves are to be used in competition
the MMA training gloves, there are a couple: MMA Striking training gloves (heavy bags and pads), and MMA grappling training gloves, and then there’s a combination
I say, don’t bother with official UFC branded gloves, the UFC is not a making of fight gear.
Here are a few links to some gloves:
