I got the Ringside Air Focus Mitts from MMAOpinion.com’s store (http://www.mmaopinion.com/rs-air-mitts.html) for $39.99. I needed something that was a little better suited to boxing drills than thai pads and these looked like they would fit the bill. I’ve previously used focus mitts form (N)everlast, Combat Sports, Ringside (normal style), Top contender, and Title.

Fairtex Bag Gloves I ordered these gloves from www.KarateDepot.com (http://www.karatedepot.com/bx-gl-154.html) and received them within 3 days, extremely fast shipping in my opinion.

This is less of a review and more of a look into why it might be hard to find gear that stands the test of time and quality. I actually discovered one of the companies who I have an in-progress interview with while searching for the ‘perfect gym bag for mma’ – he obviously had [...]

Mfg Website: www.renegademma.com I received a set of these along with my X-Trainer shin guards which was a nice and unexpected gesture from the folks at RenegadeMMA. Usually when you get something for free it’s usually low quality – that’s not the case here. The material is slightly elastic and are about 118″ long. I [...]
