Okay, so I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about these Trevor Wittman gloves lately. You know, the ones that are supposed to be all revolutionary and stuff in the MMA world. Well, I finally got my hands on a pair and let me tell you, the journey to get them wasn’t exactly a walk in the park.
First off, I had to reach out to the man himself, Trevor Wittman. Yeah, you heard that right, the guy who coaches Justin Gaethje and other big names. Turns out, getting these gloves isn’t as simple as ordering them from Amazon. I sent him a message, fingers crossed, hoping to at least get some info.
To my surprise, he actually replied! He gave me the lowdown on the gloves, explaining how he designed them because of his own hand injuries back in the day. Plus, he’s seen all sorts of hand problems with fighters, so he wanted to make something better. That’s some dedication right there.
Here’s what I did next:
- Waited patiently: These gloves are made to order, so it’s not like they have a warehouse full of them.
- Saved up some cash: Let’s be real, these aren’t your average boxing gloves. They’re a bit of an investment, but I figured if they’re good enough for the pros, they’re good enough for me.
- Tried them on: when the gloves are coming, and I finally got them in my hands, it was almost unreal. The first thing I noticed was the quality. You can tell a lot of thought and effort went into making these. They have this unique curved design that’s supposed to reduce eye pokes, which is a huge deal in MMA.
- Hit the heavy bag: I couldn’t wait to see how they felt in action. I started with some light jabs and crosses on the bag, getting a feel for the padding and wrist support. They felt snug but not too tight, and my hands felt really secure.
- Sparred a bit: I even convinced a buddy of mine to do some light sparring with me. It’s hard to say for sure, but I felt like my punches were landing a bit cleaner, and my wrists weren’t as sore afterward. That curved design might actually be making a difference.
My Thoughts So Far
These gloves are definitely something special. They’re not just another piece of gear; they’re like an extension of your hand. It’s clear that Trevor Wittman put his heart and soul into creating these, and it shows. I still need to put in more rounds with them, but so far, I’m pretty impressed. I guess they’re worth the money.
I’ll keep you guys updated on how they hold up over time. But for now, I’m giving these Trevor Wittman gloves a thumbs up. They might just be a game-changer, and I’m excited to see how they perform in the long run.
