Ok so I am new to MMA training when it comes to striking (Wrestling background). I am 32 and looking for a great way to loose weight that is fun for me. I bought the Pit workout DVDS and will be training Muay Thai gym. the question I have is witht the pit DVDS they show them doing pushups with gloves on so they are open finger to do the push ups. I am stupid so I bought the UFC fight gloves but don't think that is what I want.
What type of glove and brand do I need. Also why does the ufc glove have no thumb web. 3rd I got the xxl gloves but have a hard time getting my hand in the gloves without wraps how do I do it with wraps.
well you should be fine ufc gloves they are open finger and dont have the thumb web for grappling if this i what im thinking of

The place I go to utilizes Bag gloves for focus mitts and the heavy bag. Generally the Muay Thai bag gloves look like this: Fairtex - Muay Thai Bag Gloves (Open thumb)
From what I've seen boxing-style bag gloves generally have a closed thumb, MT ones have an open thumb. Not sure if that's what you saw in the DVD.

Always, always, always wear wraps when you are hitting anything (pads, bag, people)
^ I totally agree with that.

Yep, that's the wisdom that is thrown around. But my school doesn't do it for the focus mitts. Just don't hit as hard, and I use 14oz super bag gloves.
what kind of mcdojo do you train at because at my gym i have my coaches shouting at me to hit hard and fast
