PRIDE-style MMA gloves

CHawkins · 08-31-2005, 02:58 PM

I've been looking around and have not been able to find PRIDE-style MMA gloves, not even reproductions.

Is that because there is no interest in Pride-style gloves in North America? I have a pair of Combat Sports Cage Style gloves and I love them, but I'd also like to have some Pride-style gloves.

Anyone know of any brands that are more like Pride gloves than like UFC gloves?

If not, maybe I'll make them myself.

There are a couple different variations on this site...

I know I've seen others out there too, but these were the first I came across. Hope it helps!

I have a pair of Large gloves and let me say they are not for bag work at all or if you train by yourself. The laces are a bitch to do yourself once you have one of the gloves on. Also it skins your knuckles pretty bad when doing the heavy bag. I would also recommend going a size up since the nylon thumbing area tends to be not placed well and cuts off circulation to the thumb area so your thumb goes numb. overall I would give them a 6/10 just for being pride replicas and good looking gloves.

how is the sizig on them, cause i know those gloves ( the pride ones ) are from Japan. Is it a "Small" Large, a "Big" large or a "true" large??

I wear a large in century gloves and a large in pride gloves is what I ordered but I wish I would have gone with an X-large since they are sorta small. Go a size up def!

Thunderfightgear.com has a good looking replication I'm waiting to get mine but from other posters and people I train with that they are good. They were also the gear of the Pride US auditions so should be some good stuff.
