USI Universal Sanda Gloves (SANSHOU) – 609WU

Description

Sanda, also known as Sanshou or Chinese kickboxing, is a full-contact sport that combines elements of traditional Chinese martial arts with modern kickboxing techniques. Sanda gloves, like those used in other combat sports, play a crucial role in protecting the hands and wrists of the practitioner during training or competition.

When it comes to leather Sanda gloves, there are several considerations to keep in mind:

1. Material:
   • Leather Sanda gloves are typically made from genuine or synthetic leather. Genuine leather is often preferred for its durability, comfort, and ability to conform to the shape of the hand over time.
2. Padding:
   • The gloves should have sufficient padding to protect the knuckles, fingers, and wrists during strikes and punches. High-density foam padding is commonly used in quality Sanda gloves to absorb and distribute impact.
3. Closure System:
   • Look for gloves with a secure closure system, such as a hook-and-loop strap or lace-up closure. This ensures a snug fit and provides stability to the wrists, reducing the risk of injury.
4. Thumb Attachment:
   • A thumb attachment or lock is an important feature to prevent accidental eye pokes or thumb injuries during sparring. The thumb should be securely attached to the glove.
5. Ventilation:
   • Good ventilation is essential to keep the hands cool and comfortable, especially during intense training sessions. Look for gloves with breathable materials and mesh panels.
6. Weight:
   • Sanda gloves come in various weights. The weight you choose depends on your training goals. Heavier gloves offer more resistance and can be suitable for building strength, while lighter gloves may be preferred for speed and agility training.
