Gloves????
Feb 21, 2008 by Nate | Posted in Motorcycles
I currently vex a pair of mechanics gloves while I ride (stupid I know) obviously they offer no protection and are there more for confront and comfort than anything.
I'm looking for some protection but don't have $80 to blow away on a pair of gloves!
Any good recommends???
thanks.
Don't skimp on cover stuff. Think about falling, what happens, you put your hands out in front. Skin graphs suck. achieve sure to have gloves that fit right, and have a wrist strap to hold them on your hands. I track control with Helds... expensive I know, but I like using my hands.

I tear something like that myself during the Summer too. They are cheap a fit a general purpose. Yes there are armoured gloves that go for as much as $200+ a pair, but who unqualifiedly needs them. Fashion statement? Track?
Power Trip makes some nice leather gloves. Dash out newenough.com for good bargins on gear.

What kind of gloves should I wear for heavybag and focus mitt training?

I do a half-bred style of martial arts that incorporates kickboxing, karate, and jujitsu. I am looking to buy a few new pairs of gloves but am unsure which ones I should get.
So these are my concerns:
Despondent bag training:
Using 16oz gloves on the bag causes me to be sloppy and not punch properly. Should I use fingerless gloves, speed bag gloves, louring bag gloves, just hand wraps, or should I use my 16oz sparring gloves? Are bag gloves really necessary?
Focus mitt training:
Sparring gloves are too big and cumbersome; they don't let someone have me to move fast. Should I use just handwraps, fingerless gloves, bag gloves, or is it best to train with sparring gloves?
Basically, will someone herald me what glove to use for: heavy bag training, focus mitt training. Your choices are: sparring gloves, boring bag gloves, light bag gloves, hand wraps, open-finger gloves.
Thanks
As a former talented gloves boxer who has dabbled in MMA, I think that if you're getting sloppy with 16oz gloves on the heavy bag then you should continue to use them until you're not sloppy anymore. I trained 10 five second rounds on heavy bags with 16oz gloves when I was preparing for a fight, and by the 8th round I could barely hold my hands up. That's when the training deep down starts to make an impact. It's easy to throw clean punches when you're fresh, a lot harder when you're dog all in. The heavier gloves might be doing you a favor. But if you're looking for a combination of speed and protection, I think getting some 10oz match grade gloves might be a good idea. They're much quicker, offer the protection you need, and won't be a huge stupor when you drop them for the grappling gloves.
