Anyone have any recommendations or experiences with any of the fingerless padded grappling type gloves such as those by Boxergenics, RevGear, Harbinger, Century, etc.
Thanks!!
Clyde
 
you mean like Century's weapons gloves?
or for sparing.
if its the weapons glove, they suck, and make it easy to disarm, anyone with them should suck it up and do some hand conditioning or twirl their sticks swing their sticks and hit hard things with thier sticks until their hand become accustomed.
 
There are eskrima gloves advertised at a couple of eskrima sites. My club bought the eskrima helmets and I like them. We tried fencing masks, lacrosse helmets etc. I definitely want to know about the gloves. hockey gloves are protective but you cant hold the sticks well. I dont mind getting hit hard on the body but I dont want any fingers or my hand broken because I wont be able to work. We only wear protective gear when we are sparring with sticks full contact. I believe you must have good gear because you could get an eye poked out too easily.
 
Taomonkey-Thanks for your reply. To clarify I will be using them on the heavy bag, striking post, and while sparring empty-handed and with weapons.

Actually, I would also be interested in a specific recommendation for a grappling-type glove. My friends and I divide up our training between stand-up boxing and on the ground stuff. We can't really wrestle with boxing gloves, and we don't really want to hit each other bare knuckle.
 
I recently found a pad that works very well for me. It is not a glove so much as a foam pad for the back of the hand. Made by Trace. Very inexpensive, works great.
 
Clyde, hi, I think that most of the gloves you mentioned may be a poor choice for stickfighting. I haven't tried all of them, but most with the stick fighting. One of my training partner's also says he doesn't like the Revgear too much, because if you spar with a msk, you can hit your knickle, still. Doce Pares sells some stickfighting gloves that offer the protection of a light to medium hockey glove, but they also provide excellent thumb protection, which, some of you might know, hockey gloves do not. As far as holding the stick, they are open palmed, and stay on your hand via leather straps to your fingers and a nice strap/wrist protection and velcro. I think they have a few models, but I liked the blue one the best. IF you find the site and have a question about which glove it was, you can ask me and I'll look. For lighter contact, or higher confidence, Nike has a padded football reciever glove. It's basically a baseball batting glove with a thin layer of padding on the back of the hand and along the fingers. Definitely not the glove you want to use to your first Dog Brother's Gathering, but it was a nice transition glove for me going to baseball glove. Nike also has it with a Magna Grip feature, which is a tacky non-slip texture on the palm. This is, IMO, one of the best gloves to use if you just want to do some stick drills or practice, etc. Definitely check these out, even if you don't spar or plan to. Champs and Sport's Authority has them. On the www, you can get them at E-bay(?).

Hope that helps.

Chad-Yes, it was helpful, thanks for the reply!

p.s. I have visited your web site before, good stuff!
 
Check out http://shop.store.yahoo.com/titleboxing/finwrisglov.html for some nice gloves also. For those of you in Hawaii, KC has a grappling glove that has a light boxing type padding on the knuckles, but has the reg straps and open palm. IMO, this is perfect for empty hand sparring no mask and grappling without having to transition. I'll check where they got it from, but for now only the Hawaii guys benefit...of course if...
 
FYI, Ringside Boxing Products is developing a no holds barred glove and they are testing the prototypes. I don't know the release date but they planning on putting a little extra padding on the knuckles and top of the hand for added protection. I will check and see if they have a release date.
 
I'll also take a picture of my glove and place a pic on our site. If anyone is intersted in this glove, you guys could order it from me. IMO, this is the best glove that I have seen and used. I'll also try nad find out where it is from. Probably find out tomorrow. And try to have the pic up tomorrow.
