In creating the Mirai™ Series, we decided to apply the Boa® Technology to these specific products because Gloves, Shin Guards and Head Guards are the most popular pieces of equipment that make up any given range.
Can the Mirai™ Series Striking Gloves be used for Sparring or Grappling?
The Mirai™ Series Striking Gloves have been specifically designed for bag and pad work.
As they are lighter in weight than traditional Sparring Gloves, we would not recommend the Mirai™ Series Striking Gloves for Sparring. To provide the protection and performance needed for sparring, we would recommend the Tokushu Series Series 16oz Gloves.
Why should I need to have separate Gloves specifically for pad and bag work?
It is common for most fighters to have separate gloves for sparring and pad / bag work.
This is good practice and will help to reduce injury to yourself and training partner(s), not to mention increasing the longevity of your equipment.
The benefits of possessing separate gloves for the different types of work lie in the differences between the types of gloves and their suitability for their intended purposes.
Gloves for pad / bag work are generally lighter in weight than those used for sparring and have less padding. This allows for more effective development speed and agility during training. The heavier sparring gloves with their denser padding, provides increased protection for both you and your training partner(s) during sparring sessions.
What kind of training can Mirai™ Series Shin Guards and Head Guard be used for?
The Mirai™ Series Shin Guards and Head Guard can be used for sparring sessions as well during bag and pad work.
