Product Review: Badboy MMA Fight Gloves

I was recently sent a pair of Badboy MMA Fight Gloves from my friends over at EliteMMA.com - Here is my review on the product...

Style and Appearance

These gloves have a very basic colour scheme made mostly of black leather with red stitching. The Badboy logo featuring a pair of eyes printed in white appears on the large padded area covering the knuckles and fingers. The logo again appears on the velcro wrist strap section of the glove with the Badboy name and Pro Series design logo. A very basic design that is more then worthy of being worn in any MMA gym. I personally like the basic style and feel it would appeal to many people who do not like fancy colours and outlandish designs.

Design and Fit

One of the best features of these gloves is the wide velcro strap which I found provides great support for your wrists. The gloves have also been created with an open palm and thumb design, I like this as it allows for greater movement and less restriction. The glove is very comfortable to wear and the padding is not to tight and rigid. This is important as you need to be able to open and close your hand when sparring and I found this could be done easily with these gloves. The only improvement I would make to the fit is the finger endings. I feel they could be made a little bit smaller or not as wide, but this is my personal preference and may not be an issue for others using the glove.

Performance and Functionality

The first thing to note about these gloves is that as soon as you put them on you can feel they are light and do not restrict speed in any way. When working with pads or mitts they feel great, the gloves are made with very good quality leather and you can feel this when training. The gloves feel tight and provide good impact protection. When sparring with a partner the great ability for hand movement that I mentioned earlier makes it easy for you to perform submissions and holds when working on the ground.

Overall Analysis

Overall I really liked these gloves because they "do what it says on the tin". If it is a fancy design and futuristic technology you are looking for then these gloves are not for you. If you want a pair if good quality gloves that feel great and allow you to get the most out of your training sessions then they are fine. I feel that the basic design and high level of functionality that the gloves provide will appeal to many people This is a good product that gets the thumbs up from me.

Product Review: UFC Ultimate Training Shoe



I was recently sent a pair of UFC Ultimate Training Shoes by my friends over at Ringstar - Here is my review on the product....

Style and Appearance

When you first set your eyes on the UFC Ultimate Training Shoe one of the first things you notice is the striking design and styling. The padded Lace Protection System has a very modern edge and look to it which complements the aggressive styling on the side panels of the shoe where the air vents are located. I am reviewing the Black and Red version of the shoe but it also comes in a White and Silver colour combination. The shoe has the UFC logo on the velcro strap which connects to the side of the shoe, it also appears again on the sole of the shoe in the middle. All in all it is a well put together training shoe with a modern and stylish edge.

Design and Fit

The great thing about this shoe is that it is made with so many innovative and unique technologies which have been designed specifically to make the shoe safer and more comfortable for the person wearing it. The shoe incorporates a three layered foam padding protection system and patented lace protection system. The shoe also gives the wearer impact protection which is located at various strike points on the foot. Even the sole of the shoe has been specifically designed to give added protection to the foot and achilles heel. This is a very high tech shoe that actually works and feels great to wear.

 Performance and Functionality

As soon as you put the shoe on you can feel the comfort, it feels spacious but you can spar and kick without a feeling of looseness which is good. The three layer padding technology really does give great protection when working with pads and also in live sparring with other people. When I first looked at the shoe I thought that it may be quite heavy based on appearance but they are actually very light allowing for great movement and speed. The sole of the shoe provides very good grip, this in effect mimics being barefoot very well when training. It helps with changes of direction and movement around the ring/cage etc. Better movement allows for better performance meaning you can get the most out of your sparring sessions. The air ventilation on the sides of the shoe are well placed to ensure that your feet do not get too hot and sweaty when training which can only be a good thing.

Overall Analysis

Overall this is a fantastic product that incorporates some great technology into the design of the shoe. A high quality training shoe that offers great protection for the wearer and their training partners. It does not slow down or make your training experience any harder, it only enhances your ability to perform better. Price wise the shoe is not cheap but I feel well worth the investment, I cannot comment on the durability too much as I have not had the product long enough but I can tell you that it is well made with quality materials. I would really recommend this product to others and I can see it being very popular on the market.
