Review on Hayabusa Ikusa Charged MMA Training Gloves by Jeffrey Johnston

Shipping was fast and package arrived sooner than expected.I’ve been training western boxing and muy thai for years. The gloves are pretty stiff upon arrival. I imagine after a few hard sessions they’ll be fine. I bought the 14oz glove. They are a little snug but I do have some room in the fingers. The velcro wrist straps can be a little confusing and adjusting. The double Velcro does provide extra support. I can definitely tell the difference when throwing power strikes. My wrist feels a lot more stable compared to other gloves. I saw some other reviews about the wrist straps taking them in and off. Yes, it can be a pain taking them off even for a quick water break. You definitely want to give your self time to adjust if you’re working with a partner. After while I’m sure I’ll adjust to the wrist straps. I didn’t use any hand wraps with these gloves. As mentioned before they are snug and the wrist provides a lot of additional support. Their is plenty of cushion in the glove. I use a 70lb heavy bag and had no soreness or bruises on my knuckles. Hayabusa is definitely a top brand and you get what you pay for. At least with mma- boxing gear. I would recommend purchasing if you’re a beginner or advanced.
