Do you have any trouble sinking submissions (rear naked or kimura)???

Technically I think the MMA glove is a tad bit better for pure standup, since it is shaped more like a boxing glove. That said though, I don't even train standup with my MMA training gloves anymore... I just use the Hybrid
One of my regular sparring partners said that he thought the padding on the Hybrid felt very similar to the padding on the MMA glove (that is, "felt" in terms of getting hit with it, hehe).
I haven't had any trouble with armbars/kimura/etc. at all. Oddly, I don't think I've had a chance to try a rear naked yet. I'll make a point to doing that soon.
As far as the padding goes, I think 3/4" of padding at the knuckle sounds about right... It might actually be slightly more, closer to 1".
