Mma Fight Gloves

During several fights on the UFC, WEC and IFL the fighters involved unintentionally laminated each other in the eyes. This will be a big problem unless a solution is found and fast!

Boxing also had suffered from this kind of digital strikes for the rest of the eye glove unlikely to stick to it and stick to his opponent.

Thumbnails on the eye during a MMA fight can cause damage as detached retinas and scratched corneas not to mention great blurred vision. Pricking in the eye can not always be the most painful of strikes, but for a hunter, he is more than a nuisance. The battle could continue if there is no serious harm done, but the fighting moves of the cage or ring with reluctance and in many cases, diminished vision which makes the uneven playing field, all things being equal.

But unlike boxing, where the opponent is catching illegal, MMA fighters must be able to take complete. Try applying a Kamora without the thumb to go around. Impossible! No thumbs eliminates most of the techniques of jiu-jitsu and wrestling.

So what?

Most fighters in MMA to keep their hands open in a defensive posture and close to the last second on the strike. Those who do not respond fast enough usually jab a finger or thumb in front of their opponent and after eyeball. Their may be a solution if.

The gloves worn by Bruce Lee in the movie martial arts classic that started west of the enthusiasm for the whole genre - "Enter the Dragon" may hold the key. At the beginning of the film is Bruce fights Sammo Hung for the honor of his Temple. The kick, punch, throw and grapple their way through several minutes of fighting. Bruce wins the manner.

And how can he defeat his opponent? Not only with Kung Fu / JKD. He received an armlock Samo Samo and supports.

An interesting aspect of the fight are the gloves are worn. They seem to be the size of hockey gloves with just the padding much.

They are more size compared to those used in today's MMA competitions but perhaps slightly greater integration of mittens that cover the fingers and thumbs would prevent fingers and thumbs inadvertently being stuck in the eye and allow the fighters to go legally. At least for the eyes.
