MMA Gloves

MMA gloves are a staple in mixed martial arts training. They’re designed to protect your hands while allowing full mobility for grappling, striking, and transitions. Whether you're working on pad drills, sparring, or MMA-inspired fitness, a good pair of gloves makes all the difference.

At Gym Equipment Melbourne, we carry a range of Sting MMA gloves that suit beginners, experienced fighters, and fitness enthusiasts alike. Sting is known for producing gear that’s durable, comfortable, and built for real-world training. Their gloves offer the right balance of padding and flexibility, so you can move naturally while staying protected.

What Makes MMA Gloves Different?

Unlike boxing gloves, MMA gloves are open-fingered. This design lets you grip, clinch, and perform submissions without restriction. The padding is focused around the knuckles and back of the hand, offering protection during strikes while keeping the fingers free for grappling.

Most MMA gloves also feature a secure wrist strap to support your joints and reduce the risk of injury. Sting’s gloves are built with reinforced stitching and high-density foam, making them suitable for both striking and ground work.

Training with MMA Gloves

MMA gloves are used across a variety of training styles:

  • Striking: Pad work, bag drills, and light sparring
  • Grappling: Clinch work, takedowns, and submissions
  • Fitness: MMA-inspired workouts and conditioning circuits

They’re ideal for mixed sessions where you switch between stand-up and ground techniques. The open-palm design also helps with ventilation, keeping your hands cooler during long workouts.

Comfort and Fit

Comfort matters when you’re training regularly. Sting MMA gloves are designed to fit snugly without restricting movement. The inner lining is soft and breathable, and the wrist strap keeps the glove secure without digging into your skin.

Some fighters prefer to wear hand wraps underneath for added support. Sting’s gloves accommodate this, offering enough room without compromising fit. Over time, the gloves mold to your hand, improving comfort and control.

Durability and Maintenance

Sting gloves are built to handle regular use. The outer material resists wear and tear, and the foam padding holds its shape even after repeated impact. After training, you can wipe them down with a damp cloth and let them air dry. This helps keep them fresh and extends their lifespan.

For fighters who train multiple times a week, durability is key. Sting’s construction ensures that the gloves won’t break down or lose support too quickly, making them a reliable choice for long-term use.

Who Should Use MMA Gloves?

MMA gloves aren’t just for professional fighters. They’re great for:

  • Mixed martial artists
  • Boxers cross-training in grappling
  • Muay Thai and kickboxing practitioners
  • Fitness enthusiasts doing MMA-style workouts
  • Coaches and trainers working with combat athletes

Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, Sting MMA gloves offer the protection and flexibility you need to train with confidence.
