Alright, so I’ve been messing around with these new gloves from Trevor Wittman, and let me tell you, they’re a whole different ball game. I saw some chatter online about how the UFC uses some old karate gloves to save a buck, and how they’re now switching to Dyaco for their official gloves. That got me curious, so I decided to dive in.
First off, I got my hands on a pair of these Wittman gloves. The moment I slipped them on, I knew they were special. It’s not like the usual gear I’ve used before; it felt like they were made just for me. I started with some light bag work, just to get a feel for them. The padding is something else, man. It absorbed the impact like a champ, and my hands felt great afterward.
My Routine
- Warm-up: Started with some basic stretches and shadow boxing.
- Bag Work: I went through various combinations, testing the gloves’ response. Threw some jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, really putting them to the test.
- Cool-down: Finished with some light sparring with a partner.
One thing I was really curious about was whether I could use these gloves without hand wraps. I know, it sounds crazy, but I had to try it. I went a few rounds on the heavy bag, and honestly, my hands felt fine. No pain, no discomfort. It’s like these gloves have built-in protection.
I kept at it for a few weeks, using the gloves in different scenarios. Sparring, bag work, even some mitt work with my coach. Each time, the gloves performed exceptionally well. They’re durable, comfortable, and they really do feel like an extension of your hand. You can tell a lot of thought went into designing these.
By the end of my little experiment, I was completely sold. These Trevor Wittman gloves are the real deal. They’ve changed the way I train, and I feel more confident and protected during my workouts. If you’re serious about your training, I’d say give these a shot. They might just surprise you. And yeah, they really are safe to use without hand wraps, at least for me. But hey, everyone’s different, so listen to your body.
