Specification

What goes into custom MMA grappling gloves

Grappling gloves, also called shoot gloves, are the most stripped-down MMA glove. They are typically 4 to 6 oz, with light padding over the knuckles and a very open palm, often without finger loops or thumb padding, so the hands can grip, frame and control almost as freely as bare hands. They suit BJJ, wrestling and grappling-heavy MMA sessions. We make them to your specification, padding, shell, palm, wrist strap, colours and logo, and the build is set on a sample you approve before bulk.

Choosing and using

Getting custom MMA grappling gloves right

Made for grips, not for heavy striking

A grappling glove gives up padding for freedom. The palm is cut wide open and the fingers are left free, often without loops, so a member can grip a wrist, frame against a hip or control a collar tie without fighting the glove.

That makes it the glove for wrestling, BJJ and grappling-heavy MMA sessions, where the strikes are light. For hard striking or sparring, a hybrid or sparring glove with more knuckle padding protects the hand and the partner better.

Questions

Questions about custom MMA grappling gloves

8 answers buyers ask for most. Choose one to open it.

Still have a question?

Ask it the way you would ask a coach. A person replies within one working day.

What are grappling gloves?
The most stripped-down MMA glove, also called shoot gloves: typically 4 to 6 oz, with light knuckle padding and a very open palm, often without finger loops or thumb padding, so the hands can grip freely. They suit BJJ, wrestling and grappling-heavy MMA sessions. MMA glove types and weights, explained
Grappling or hybrid gloves?
Grappling gloves give the most hand freedom, with the least padding, for sessions that are mostly grips and ground work. Hybrid gloves add a segmented knuckle for more striking, while still letting the hand close. Many gyms stock both. Custom hybrid MMA gloves
Are grappling gloves suitable for sparring?
Not for hard striking: the padding is light, so for sparring a 7 to 8 oz sparring glove protects the partner better. Grappling gloves suit drilling, wrestling and grappling-led sessions with light strikes. Custom MMA sparring gloves
Can grappling and fight gloves be in one order?
Yes, in the same colour scheme. They are different products with their own patterns and set-up, so each needs its own 50 pairs per design, split across sizes S to XL in any mix.
What do the mockup and sample cost?
Mockups are free, with as many changes as you need. The physical sample is priced on its specification and customisation, so its price depends on what you choose, and it is in your quote before we make it. The sample reaches you in 7–10 days, and when you go ahead with bulk, half of the sample price is credited against your bulk order. If the sample needs changes, the revised sample and its price are agreed with you before we make it. If a change is needed because we made a mistake, the revised sample is free.
Can you make MMA grappling gloves under our own brand?
Yes. Your logo, printed labels and packaging are part of the specification, and your artwork, mockups and approved specification stay yours. We never sell your design or make it for anyone else.
Will a reorder match the first batch?
Your approved sample stays in our workshop for at least two years after your last order and your specification is stored digitally, so a reorder doesn't need a new sample: it goes straight to production, from 25 per design. Your dispatch date is confirmed in writing when you place it. How reorders work
How long does an order take?
Production starts when you approve your sample, and bulk typically takes 4–6 weeks from approval, plus courier transit. Your exact dispatch date is confirmed in writing with your quote.
