Frequently Asked Questions
What essential gear do I need to start MMA training?
For beginners, the absolute essentials are a pair of 16oz boxing gloves for striking drills, MMA-style sparring gloves (around 7oz), shin guards, a mouthguard, and a groin guard. Most Australian gyms also require you to wear a rash guard and MMA shorts or spats.
How do I choose the right size MMA gloves?
MMA glove sizing depends on the type. Competition gloves (4oz) are usually sized S, M, L, XL based on hand circumference. Training and sparring gloves are measured in ounces (oz), which refers to the amount of padding. 16oz is standard for sparring, while 10-12oz is great for bag work. Always check the product's specific size chart.
Do you ship MMA gear across Australia?
Absolutely. We provide fast and reliable shipping to all corners of Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and all regional areas. You can find detailed shipping information and estimated delivery times on our shipping policy page.
What's the difference between MMA shorts and regular gym shorts?
MMA shorts are specifically designed for combat sports. They are made from durable, lightweight, and often stretchable material, feature high side slits for unrestricted kicking, and have a secure closure system (like Velcro and a drawstring) to stay in place during intense grappling. They also don't have pockets, which can be a safety hazard.
How should I care for my MMA equipment?
To prevent bacteria growth and extend the life of your gear, always air it out immediately after training. Never leave it in a closed gym bag. Use anti-bacterial sprays or wipes on gloves and guards. Wash apparel like rash guards and shorts after every use according to the care label instructions.
