Sanabul Essential 7oz MMA Gloves for Men & Women, Hybrid MMA Martial Arts, Sparring Grappling Training, Padded Kick Boxing Gloves

I wanted to share a clip of me breaking the gloves in on the heavy bag. They don’t require a lot of breaking in though, they came pretty close to perfect right out of the box. The tripple wrapped wrist guard is pretty effective at keeping your wrists firm, but I still recommend you be cautious when working the heavy bag, just remember to keep your wrists firm because if you’re throwing bombs you could possibly injure yourself - which isn’t a complaint since they’re not boxing gloves, plus I never expected to use them for the heavy bag but the fact that I can without major risk of injury is impressive enough. I train MMA and we light spar everyday with 4oz fight gloves. I’ve tested like 5 different gloves, including Hayabusa, but none of them did the trick. I heard the essentials are the ole reliables for MMA and ngl I would agree. I was pretty hesitant because of the price but I was immediately impressed by the quality. I like my gloves snug and that’s hard to get without some discomfort, however these gloves aren’t uncomfortable at all, they’re very comfortable. The inside is smooth leather, love it. The surface padding is perfect, soft but not too soft, the padding is springy which I love, and they don’t feel like they’re gonna blow out within a few weeks. I really needed something that would allow me to land strikes more efficiently without hurting my partners. With these I’ll be able to strike a little faster and harder which gives my opponent less reaction time to defend. I don’t see these lasting a super long time, but at the price point, I have no issue re buying them again in the future. Might get a second color as well. Nice job sanabul

Before I start my review I want to inform you that I am not a professional or amateur fighter or any type of trainer. That being said I'm just a dude who does mma drills/training to stay fit. Now here is my review. About two years ago there was nothing on TV so I decided to watch an mma fight. From that very moment I fell in love with the sport. So I continued to watch the combat sport anytime I had a chance. While continuing to watch the fights I began viewing their training sessions. After watching the training sessions I thought I would like to try those exercises. So I did. Fast forward to now. I have been training like these elite athletes for about a year and a half. Part of my training is working with a heavybag. I started with some entry level 14oz boxing gloves. The gloves are fantastic, but do not allow for hand/finger movement. So as my training had evolved I found that a need for gloves with finger hand access had arose. So I searched amazon and these gloves appeared in the search. I saw the brand and had remembered seeing UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping using some gloves by sanabul. So I took a closer look. After comparing these gloves with other similar styles, I was very impressed with the price point and reviews. So I decided to purchase them. So as of now I've been using the gloves for little over a week. When I first started using the gloves they were a bit uncomfortable, but I was so used to using traditional boxing gloves. After acclimating to the new glove style, I did heavy bag work with and with out handwraps. I decided that using handwraps was the way to go. I used 180" Sanabul wraps. I noticed during my sessions the speed of my punching had improved, Which was to be expected since I went from using 14oz gloves to the 7oz gloves. So I can say I am very satisfied with the gloves. As far as the durability of the gloves I won't know that until I work with them for a while. At this price point they are a great bargain. They look and feel like they would cost way more than the current price point. So get you some and go Train Like Batman.72919 UpdateI have been using these gloves for quite a while now, and am throughly satisfied with the quality, comfort and protection provided by these gloves. At the current price point they are so worth it. Additionally I have started training on a reflex bag, and after using some 16 and 10 ounce gloves on the bag, I prefer these 7 ounce gloves. When I bought these gloves I was at the beginning of my training journey. As the years have progressed and my training has evolved, I find the gloves are suited to fit that fitness evolution. So if your ready for a fitness evolution get these gloves.

These MMA gloves are super comfortable and fit just right! Sanabul takes variation of physical features into consideration to make glove size that generally fits *most* people. The circumference of my palm measures 10 inches, and the L/XL gloves fit well. They're not fully broken in yet, but the hours that I'm putting on them are showing how well constructed they are. Like any other glove, they do tend to get smelly if not cleaning them after use, so make sure you take care of them to prolong their life.
