Max Strike MMA Training Gloves

Review based on an XL as well as a L for this glove. AESTHETICS - Both gloves are beautifully constructed, no loose stitches or scuffs/marks. It's not full leather because it looks like the black segmented part of the back of the glove is made out of synthetic leather. The leather on the padding and on the finger loops feel nice and soft. I feel that they will be durable but it's only been a week so bare with me on that. Also the color scheme and layout are gorgeous. Nothing looks tacky or poorly printed designed. An absolute pleasure to flash around at the gym. Drawing the "ooo's" and "awe's" of the gym mates especially feel nice haha. FIT - The XL's fit my hand comfortably mind you my hands aren't huge. I got the XL because I wanted to wear handwraps with them. The only ones I can wear with them though are probably 120's... comfortably anyways. The L's felt a little too tight around the fingers. They weren't uncomfortable but I did notice the tightness. Dimensions of my hands to help with sizing: -8.5" circumference around the knuckles [Palm up] -3.5" width of knuckles [Palm up] -3" circumference of index finger -3" & 2/8th's the length of the middle finger FUNCTIONALITY - Both do their job very well, which is safely simulate an MMA ruled match. The pre-curved foam make it relatively easy to strike and to clinch with but is a bit cumbersome while grappling especially when going for subs. But I've adapted it to my game and instead hug rather than grab the limb I'm attacking. Chokes and getting underhooks are a bit troublesome as well. I will admit though that the padding for the XL's compared to the L's is different(it could be that I got different batches). The XL's felt soft but firm at the same time, think Gel padding. While the L's were soft as well but more of a springy bouncier padding. Still would rather get hit by these than a TapOut glove lol. OVERALL: Would definitely buy these gloves in bulk if there's a good price for them. Very happy with my purchase :D PROS: -Does as described -soft but firm padding -as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing CONS: -Size chart needs to move down a peg[XL's should be L's, L's should be Reg, etc.] -Inconsistent padding [probably got 2 different batches. still love em though!]

at this price ($20-25) they are a steal. these gloves look like they're worth about 5 times what i paid for them. they look extremely high quality and you will for sure have people at the gym asking you what kind of gloves they are and where did you buy them. padding is thick, curved, and the wrist closure supports your wrist better than any similar glove i've used. warning though, they are sized small, so please go up a size if you want them to fit right. in everlast glove sizing i'm a S/M so i bought these in the regular size but they were too small for me. when my girlfriend saw them though she loved them, tried them on, and now they're hers. i ended up buying another pair in L size for me and they fit perfect. i don't MMA so i can't tell you how well these will work while grappling. i can tell you that you have enough freedom to grab wrists and ankles with these gloves on, as well as other activities like jumping rope. i mainly use these for training with thai pads with partners so i enjoy these types of gloves so i can put them on and off with ease. if you plan to heavy bag, these gloves will work fine for short spurts but if you plan on punching a bag for extended periods of time then a standard boxing glove/hand wrap combination would be a better choice mainly for the added support, protection, and comfort. with these gloves you have to clinch a fist to properly punch. the curved padding helps with this but you will be fatigued after a long periods. face it though, standard boxing gloves just aren't as cool as these. i'm so pleased with these gloves i'm thinking about buying the XL size and trying them out with hand wraps.

Works well for mma striking

Been using these gloves for a few months, and they are one of my absolute favorite pairs. I've been kick boxing and sparring for many years and these gloves are lighter on the hands but still give plenty of protection and padding. They're very durable and look great as well. Will definitely consider buying a second pair.

I've been a Martial Artist since 1971 and have used almost every piece of gear and tried every brand out there. I ordered these for my son and had to try em on for fit & feel. They fit my hands perfectly & felt great! I can't wait to give them to my son. The quality is incredible & padding is very solid. I will have to get a pair for myself now. Great price & great piece of gear!! Thanks! AL McGowen

For the price I got these gloves at, I can't really say too many bad things about it. The only bad thing I could think of, is how hard the front padding was until we loosened it up from sparring. That's normal for alot of combat training gloves though. I bought these gloves to have for MMA sparring. I had a friendly spar with my GF, who currently is training in boxing for fitness. She loved how the gloves felt on her hands. And of course she loved how the gloves felt when they were going into my face and upside my head. As far as impact goes, I can only describe how they felt hitting me. With headguard on, I could feel the impact, but it wasn't enough that I couldn't absorb. When she hit me harder with the headgear on, I felt it more of course, but I don't remember ever seeing too many hit flashes. I just felt a hard impact. Without headgear, I never felt that sharp fist pain. It just felt like I was hit with a loaded laundry bag. Even with becoming a "ground and pound" victim, I never felt in danger of serious injury. I am sure a skilled and experienced MMA fighter could do damage with these gloves, but that wasnt the case. I would still recommend these gloves for sparring and training. You could probably get some MMA handwraps to ensure a tighter fit. Although I didn't have an issue. Most importantly, these gloves stay on pretty well on your hand. Didn't have any wrist pain or hand pain. Depending on how long and hard you spar with these gloves, you might wanna use MMA hand wraps just to ensure a good fit as I mentioned before. Grappling wasn't an issue either. We were both able to do alot of proper grappling even with the bulkness of the glove. Had no issue with it.

Absolutely one of the best gloves I've ever used. Used it for over 2 years of literal daily use and just recently it finally bought the farm when the cracked leather (from use) had the stitching bust. Most people throw away gloves about a year after they buy them. So these gloves are very obviously above average. Anyway, they looked great, felt great, were incredible for its service life.

Perfect gloves, they have varying finger loop lengths for your pinky ring and index finger and have a good amount of padding. My only complaint could be the metal cuff for the strap but even thats nothing serious

Great fit. Delivery was quick & on time. Great product. Definitely recommend these gloves & this seller. I'm so happy with them I'm getting another pair.

I used this for Wing Chun training and sparring. Foam is a little stiff, needs a break in period. It's tougher to grapple in this as well. But it protects my hands and my partners during sparring training very well. Highly recommended. Stitches are tight, the inner liner is a little scratchy and can be smoother like RDX I feel. But overall, a solid glove on a budget.

I wanted to go with a tried and true classic training glove for fight camp. These lived up, the gloves were surprisingly narrow but the padding was still very thick. Each glove weighed 6.5 oz for the regular size, the leather is great. The image on the striking surface is scuffed from the amount of use I’ve given them. My pinky never slips out during use even when grappling heavy and the padding is that perfect medium between soft and firm. The wrist was very stiff but broke in within and hour. Overall love them, and my training partners want them too.

very good but there is no size guide so size was a bit tight
