MMA gloves are unlike any other combat glove. Open fingers for grips, 4 to 7 oz to stay mobile, a compact format for stand-up-to-ground transitions: they are designed for the most complete combat discipline there is. The RDX range covers two distinct uses — sparring with strikes and technical grappling. Shipped across Switzerland with DPD, delivered in 2 to 3 working days.

RDXSports.ch is the official RDX Sports store for Switzerland. Authentic models, Swiss warranty, support in FR/DE/EN.

MMA sparring vs grappling: the real differences

MMA sparring gloves (7 oz)
Protective padding over the knuckles and back of the hand. Strikes allowed. Semi-open fingers for basic grips. Use them when strikes are part of the session. Not to be confused with boxing gloves — the format stays open.
Grappling gloves (4 oz)
Fully open fingers, minimal knuckle padding. Freedom to grip comes first. For wrestling, jiu-jitsu, submission work and passes. Not suitable for hard strikes.
Boxing gloves (10-16 oz)
Closed fingers, heavy padding. Incompatible with grips. For pure boxing only.

Frequently asked questions

Can you use boxing gloves for MMA?
No. Boxing gloves have closed fingers — grips are impossible. In MMA, dedicated gloves (sparring or grappling) are mandatory as soon as both stand-up and ground work are trained.
Do you need both types of MMA gloves?
If your sessions mix striking sparring and grappling, ideally yes. To start with, grappling gloves cover most technical sessions. Add 7oz sparring gloves once striking sparring becomes regular (2x/week or more).
Are IMMAF gloves useful outside competition?
Yes — they are grappling gloves like any other, simply approved as well. They can be used in training without restriction. Approval is only mandatory in official IMMAF competition.
How long do MMA gloves last?
4oz grappling: 12 to 24 months depending on frequency; the lightweight format wears faster. 7oz sparring: 18 to 36 months with hand wraps and drying between sessions. Signs it's time to replace them: seams coming apart, flattened padding, a Velcro closure that no longer holds.
What is the most common buying mistake?
Buying grappling gloves for striking sparring — 4oz padding is not enough to protect your partner. For any session with strikes, 7oz gloves are essential. Tip: if you're torn between the two, start with 7oz sparring gloves — they also cover light technical sessions.
Difference between F6 KARA Sparring and F6 KARA Grappling?
Same range, same Maya Hide Leather, same finish — but a different format. The Sparring is 7oz with knuckle padding for strikes. The Grappling is 4oz with open fingers for grips. Both carry the F6 KARA name but are not interchangeable depending on use.
