As far as stand up striking I switch my gloves out to my shootos or a set of actual boxing gloves. could you use them probably I just choose to use something a little safer for my partners. I did throw a couple of 70% shots last night just playing around standing. They seem to give enough to use standing with control.

On the ground we typically don't really bang very often, I think they would be fine as long as your not trying to kill your training partners which isn't the point of training anyway.

Every once in awhile we'll let go and throw decent shots, I just haven't with these gloves yet. We I do I will make sure I report on it and ask how it felt on the receiving end as well.

Mike next time I'm home I'll measure the thickness of the padding but I think 1 1/4 is probably pretty close.
