Gym memberships often shoot up at the beginning of each year as more people try to atone for their gluttony during the recent holiday festivities. Fitness centers nowadays offer different classes to get you back in shape before you hit the beaches next summer. There’s Zumba, and Yoga, or even Belly-dancing. But for those who are in need of extra flagellation to ease the feeling of guilt for having all those Bibingka and Puto Bungbong, there is Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). MMA, however, is a serious contact sport and while it can help you get in shape more quickly, it requires commitment and proper equipment. Case in point, the Lonsdale MMA sparring/training gloves.

The Lonsdale 7oz. MMA gloves is suitable for doing your punch mitt routine or for slugging it out with a sparring partner. It allows you to execute grappling moves along with striking techniques safely and effectively. The Lonsdale MMA glove has foam protection on the knuckle area and around the thumbs to protect them when executing both strait or hook punches. It also has padding on the back of the hands for back-fist strikes. The double-loop velcro straps help keep the gloves stay in place and it also give additional support on the wrists. There are openings on the palm area of the gloves for added grip. The outer layer of the gloves is made from heavy-duty synthetic leather so they can be washed when needed and you don’t have to bother with leather conditioners.
