Men's Point Fighting Gloves
Men's Point Fighting Gloves
Sparring is an important part of any martial arts training program. It teaches timing, distance control, the application of skills, and improves reactions. Point sparring is a common type of sparring and offers a chance to learn with minimal contact. Point fighting is most common in low contact kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do, Karate and other light contact martial arts.
Despite the lighter contact, having the right protective gear is just as important in point fighting as it is in other types of sparring. Point fighting gloves, also known as open palm gloves or karate mits, are a central part of that gear. Point fighting gloves are the midpoint between boxing gloves and MMA gloves. Since point fighting is more about speed and control than strength, point fighting gloves are lightweight and have minimal padding while still providing protection while striking and blocking. They often have open palms and are flexible, allowing for a variety of attacks other than straight punches. Point fighting gloves are important for protecting both your hands and your opponent.

Point Fighting Gloves for Taekwondo
Taekwondo is a beautiful martial art composed of a combination of striking and kicking moves. Point fighting gloves are necessary in Taekwondo to protect practitioners during sparring matches. While Taekwondo gloves are designed with shock-absorbing padding, they are somewhat thinner and less protective than kickboxing gloves. This is because Taekwondo primarily focuses on timed offensive and defensive strikes rather than any extended form of ritual combat like Boxing or Kickboxing. Taekwondo practitioners rely on quick, accurate punches delivered from the knuckles and wrist, making the lightweight points fight glove ideal for Taekwondo. The limited protection makes it important for students to learn accurate punching techniques and be mindful of their opponent in sparring matches.
