If you are training for MMA, use MMA gloves and gel hand wraps for heavy bag and speed bag training. The thick padding in the front will absorb the major shock from the impact, while your wrist will be adequately supported with the wide, adjustable wrist strap. Pacific Sports MMA gloves are designed exclusively for MMA and available in both open and covered thumb varieties. They are extensively used all around the world for intense punching, sparring, and grappling MMA practice sessions.
Why use gloves?
There are many advantages of bag work with bare knuckles, but if the punches land at an angle then the wrist can get bent and may lead to an injury. Besides, the skin over the knuckles may get bruised, torn, bleed and may take time to heal. The healing time will put you out of practice and you will be farther away from your desired goal of executing a perfect punch. Bare knuckle practice should be avoided by beginners and even experienced professionals perform it with caution.
Instead of bare knuckles, you may use cloth hand wraps, which minimizes the injury. However, using gel hand wraps helps to improve your form while avoiding injury. Pacific Sports gel hand wraps are made from tough neoprene and last a very long time.
A hand wrap is generally a long strip of fabric that is wrapped around the thumb, the wrist, in-between the fingers, the knuckles and closed at the wrist. Pacific Sports gel hand wraps are made of neoprene and feature gel padded knuckles, so there is no need to wrap the knuckles or the hand with any cloth. Simply slip your hand inside the Pacific Sports gel hand wraps and secure the wrist with the 1m long stretchable wrap with a Velcro closing. Due to the gel padded knuckles, Pacific Sports gel hand warps provide increased protection for the knuckles, the hand, and the wrist.

Close thumb or open thumb MMA gloves?
Both serve different purposes. Close thumb gloves cover the thumb, while an open thumb glove will give you better grip for grappling techniques. Initially, it is recommended to practice with closed thumb MMA gloves and once your punches land with a straight arm and without the wrist bending, then you can practice with open thumb MMA gloves. Dense padding over the back of the hand and knuckles provides optimum protection. The fingers are half open and the palm is full open to enable full grip in grappling moves. The open palm also facilitates smooth air-flow that reduces the production of sweat. The gloves are made from soft leather, so they last a long time, and they also stretch with wear, so they remain comfortable all the time. A wide Velcro wrist strap provides a secure and a comfortable fit. They are available in attractive blue and black colours.
Hitting a speed bag with MMA gloves
When you use a speed bag, you can wrap your hands with a strip of cloth or use gel hand wraps. You may also use speed bag gloves. However, for MMA practice, using MMA gloves are most suitable both for speed bag and heavy bag workouts. In both cases, the thick padding of the gloves prevents scratching and cutting the skin on the knuckles. MMA gloves are lightweight, comfortable, and gradually you can increase the power and speed of your punches.
