Championship Caliber Protection for the Complete MMA Athlete
When a former Middleweight Champion puts his name on a piece of equipment, it means it can withstand the highest levels of combat. Endorsed by Robert "The Reaper" Whittaker, the Sting Taipan MMA Sparring Gloves are engineered for the fighter who needs to transition seamlessly between striking and grappling without compromising safety. These are not standard entry-level gloves; they are precision tools built to handle the grind of professional fight camps.
Constructed from premium full-grain leather, the Taipan series offers the tactile feedback required for complex submissions while providing substantial knuckle protection for stand-up wars. The lightweight, anatomically pre-curved design allows your hand to rest in a natural position, reducing fatigue during rounds and ensuring your strikes land with "snap" rather than a heavy thud.

Sambo Store Pro-Tip
Because these gloves are made from genuine full-grain leather, they will feel stiffer than synthetic gloves right out of the box. This is a sign of quality, not a defect. We recommend "working" the leather with your hands or doing a few rounds of light bag work to break in the grain before your first hard sparring session. This allows the glove to mould perfectly to your hand shape for a custom fit.
