MMA grappling gloves Fairtex FGV12 Black Ultimate 4oz

Instructions for Use – MMA Gloves

PURPOSE

MMA gloves are designed for both training and competitive use in mixed martial arts. They protect the knuckles during strikes while allowing for grappling and ground techniques thanks to their open-finger design.

Warning: Combat sports involve risks. Even when used correctly, MMA gloves cannot fully prevent injuries. Always use them in combination with other protective equipment and under professional supervision.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE

MMA gloves are typically sized using standard clothing sizes (e.g. S, M, L, XL, and sometimes XS or XXL).

Recommendation: Choose size based on hand circumference (for children, also consider age due to hand length), intended use, and personal preference. Always refer to the size chart provided with the specific product.

The internal fit may vary slightly by brand – some gloves are tighter, others more spacious. If you plan to wear wraps or inner gel gloves, take that into account when selecting your size.

USAGE

• Wearing: Put the gloves on the correct hand – left and right can be distinguished by the shape and curve of the finger openings.
• Fastening: Secure the gloves tightly using the velcro strap or multi-point closure if available.
• Tip: For improved hygiene and comfort, use hand wraps or thin inner gloves.

MAINTENANCE

• Do not machine wash or soak the gloves.
• After each session, wipe them down with a damp cloth or soft sponge.
• Air-dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Make sure the gloves are completely dry before next use to prevent mold and odor.

Warning: Insufficient drying accelerates material and padding degradation, reducing the gloves’ lifespan.

Tip: To combat odor, you can use glove deodorizers or activated charcoal inserts.

STORAGE AND LONGEVITY

• Store the gloves in a dry, shaded place, ideally at room temperature.
• Protect from moisture, extreme heat or cold.
• If the outer surface is damaged, the padding is cracked, or the protective function is reduced, stop using the gloves.

The lifespan of MMA gloves depends on frequency of use and proper care. With correct maintenance, their durability can be significantly extended.
