MMA GEAR: TITLE SPARRING GLOVES

I bought these gloves about 6 months ago because I wanted to invest a little bit more into a good pair of gloves for training; hitting the heavy bag and sparring. I had a reoccurring problem of tearing up cheap ($40) training gloves every 3-4 months of rigorous training. The stitching would come apart and the padding would be crushed. I wanted something that would last me several years and something that wasn’t made of the cheap imitation leather. I did some research over the course of a week and found these TITLE Boxing Platinum series gloves. The TITLE Platinum Paramount Bag Gloves come in sizes 10,12,14, and 16. The gloves I decided to go with were the 14 oz gloves which are good for both heavy bag training and offers enough padding for sparring. The glove shell is covered in double thick, ultra-pliable full grain leather for professional results. The padding is made of molded foams which give you the “already broken in” feeling. The wrist strap provides added security against wrist sprains and injuries, but I would still recommend always training with wrist wraps. A moisture-wicking hand compartment liner helps repel moisture and keep fists cool during training. These are a must have if you are looking into a solid set of gloves that will last you a long time through rigorous training several days a week. Originally these bad boys were $179.99, but you can get them now for $87.99 at Amazon.

MMA GEAR: TIGER CLAW SUPER SHIELD

I bought this striking pad back in 2011 thinking it would be a medium priced martial arts striking pad that would last me a year or two prior to having to buying a new. That wasn’t the case, this pad has held up well through years of rigorous training and substantial amounts of abuse. This is a great piece of training equipment for those of you who like to load up on your roundhouse and spinning back kicks. The thickness of the pad (8 inches) absorbs a lot of impact and the numerous handles provide great diversity in holding the pad. The length is sufficient enough to give your training partner a good amount of coverage and protection; height measures 24 inches and the width is 14 inches.

You can get this great piece of training gear from Amazon at the following link:

MMA GEAR: TITLE MMA

TITLE is another company known for it’s products related to combat sports, but most people tend to think of specifically boxing apparel when the name comes up. TITLE also makes a great deal of MMA gear as well. I have recently purchased MMA shorts, training bag, and short sleeve rash guard. The gear is tough and will with stand wear and tear while not breaking your bank. The bag is great I can fit focus mitts, shin guards, head gear, sparring gloves, training shoes, water bottle, and essentially any other training gear I may need into the bag. When I bought it however, it did not come with a shoulder strap so I used one from an older duffle bag. Still a great deal at under $40. The rash guard and shorts together were about another $80, but still not bad for something that will get a lot of use.
