Gloves good for heavy bag?

Question

Im looking for some gloves that mixed martial artists would use for my heavy bag. I want something that are inexpensive but still durable. And they have to have good support in the wrists and knuckles. I was looking at these Evergel gloves but they are more like boxing gloves. So what should i buy?

Answer 1

do you have to train with mma gloves on the bag? cuz most people i know train with boxing gloves on the bag even if they fight mma. 1)bag gloves have more protection on your hands when hitting the bag 2)training with heavier gloves will give you better endurance and when you put on lighter gloves you'll feel alot faster
when i saw bj penn train for jens pulver a few weeks back even he is hitting the bag with regular boxing gloves.

and if im correct evergel arent actually gloves they are wraps to put on undergloves instead of traditionally wrapping your hands

trust me you get what you pay for to with gloves when i started out i bought some $20 everlast. stay far far away from everlast they dont offer much protection and fall apart after about a month. i've heard bad things about everlast from people on the internet other boxers and my coach.

if you want comfort and durable i hear titles gel gloves are good. im actually bout to buy them with my next check. look to spend at least $50-$60. title seems it be good thats what my gym sells its also a reasonable price. also good are cleto reyes and grant-people say they hurt more when hit with those. ringside, imf, and top contender

idunno whether you are planning on fighting but minimizing injuries is key when training so dont cut corners and keep your hands protected cuz if you injury them thats time off from training.

if you really wanna go with mma gloves on a heavy bag here is a few:

Answer 2

Pick a heavier type boxing glove of 12 or 14 oz with a Velcro wrap closure so you can put them on and take them off yourself. Also a set of hand-wraps, which are not expensive, will give each of your individual knuckles more support and a little wrist support although some fighters prefer to tape their wrists also. A decent set of gloves will cost anywhere from $40.00 to $60.00 and a set of hand-wraps $6.00-$10.00. One of the other answers already said it-take care of your hands and you will have fewer injuries and less down time. Not only that but any damage you do with respect to your hands is cumulative-it adds up and you may not feel the pain or resulting damage until a few years from now and then it is too late.

Answer 3

If you watch mma training videos you would see that they do use boxing gloves. the best ones for a bag would be ones that are slip on gloves not with laces, or you can just look up "boxing bag gloves" and you will find some. I would go with everlast the are well known and most of there bag gloves are around 50 bucks... Also wear hand wraps when you hit the bag for support to your hands (they are around 5 bucks)

Answer 4

you should probably stick to bag gloves you dont want an injury from an inadimate object. but personally i just tape my wrists and go bare knuckle. make sure you use medical tape and ace bandages
