Yokkao MMA Gloves Black

The Yokkao MMA Gloves Black are compact, open-hand gloves that combine maximum finger and wrist freedom with targeted knuckle protection. Ideal for athletes who frequently perform clinch, grip, or ground-based drills, or who need to transition quickly between grappling and striking during technical or pad sessions. The open-palm design gives you direct feedback on your grip, while the strategically placed padding absorbs impact on the knuckles without restricting hand movement.

Open palm, smart protection

The open-palm design lets you move freely, switch effortlessly from control grips to short, precise strikes, and maintain constant tactile feedback with your partner or the pads. The knuckle area features compact, multi-layer padding that evenly spreads pressure. This delivers a dry, controlled impact—firm enough for focused striking drills, yet light enough not to interfere with fine motor control. The thumb and finger openings are rounded and neatly finished to prevent chafing.

Wrist stability you can trust

The wide, adjustable strap wraps evenly around your wrist, keeping your hand and wrist aligned when you accelerate or strike from awkward angles. The difference is immediate: fewer micro-rotations, a more consistent punching line, and reduced fatigue in your forearm and tendons. The closure system is quick to adjust between rounds—perfect for alternating between technique, pad work, and conditioning sets.

Fit and ergonomics for long sessions

The pre-curved shape allows your hand to close naturally, letting you “lock in” around the grip bar without tension. The interior feels smooth and soft, with seams placed outside pressure zones for greater comfort. This lets you train longer without hotspots on your knuckles or finger joints. There’s also enough space for light hand wraps or gel inserts if you prefer extra compression.

Material and durability

The main material is leather, offering a sturdy, shape-retaining outer shell built for heavy use that ages beautifully over time. The leather keeps the padding compact and helps the gloves maintain their structure even after frequent training. Stress points around the knuckles, thumb base, and wrist edge are reinforced to ensure a long lifespan.

Controlled striking feel

These gloves deliver a clean, responsive impact on contact. The padding is deliberately compact—not bulky—so your timing, placement, and wrist alignment stay sharp. This makes them ideal for technical striking drills, precision pad work, and combination training where fast transitions between grappling and striking are essential.

Ventilation and care

The open design naturally ventilates the gloves. After training, leave them to air dry in a well-ventilated space. Wipe the leather with a lightly damp cloth and pat dry. Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight to keep the leather supple and the padding resilient. Use drying inserts if desired to reduce odors.

Fit and usage guide

• Tight fit: for maximum control during technical drills.
• Slightly looser fit: if you use hand wraps or need extra wrist compression.
• Best used for short, focused striking rounds and technical sessions where grip and precision matter most.
