Hey everyone! I made a video on how the YOKKAO Monster Muay Thai Boxing Gloves have held up over the last year and a half of training. I generally attend about 5 to 8, 1 hour classes per week and have been using these gloves from almost day 1. How do you guys feel about yokkao gear? Let me know in a comment below!

A lot of people complain too much about how long gloves last, main issue is how long they take to break in. How were these out of the box? Based off a review on Buakaw's new gloves they come broken in right out of the box and I'm pretty sure Yokkao is making them, they look identical

@izzyr__ 4 жыл бұрын

Honestly I’ve felt comfortable with both yokkao and Fairfax gloves out of the box. The only thing that may have needed breaking in was the Fairfax kick pads.

Do these gloves have thin padding on the knuckles? I got mine today in 10oz and the padding is crap i can feel my knuckles and the padding on the knuckles is flat and seems like it is broken in before it even got to me(padding is most dense near the velcro strap like the foam kinda went back in the glove underneath the leather) The left glove is different(seems deformed) than the right one and lighter almost a ounce Usually i wouldnt mind the small differences(cause i know its handmade so it cant match 100%) but im a southpaw and i switched from IMF type gloves (wich were good) to try these Now i dont know wether the gloves sre supposed to be that way pr maybe they got banged up during transport

@izzyr__ 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah it sounds like they became deformed as they shipped. I would reach out to them and see how they can help. As for the padding, mine are 16oz, so definitely no problems there. I DO have the fairtex open thumb bag gloves. prob 10oz or less, and i absolutely hate them. Was thinking of making a review of those gloves just to warn peeps.

How do you decide on which weight gloves to get?

I think the larger gloves are known as sparring gloves b/c of the increased padding to protect your partner. 12oz to 16oz is good for me. The one in the vid is a 16!

Adding to @e recommendation, 16oz would be the minimal weight you should go given your size in regards to sparring, mitt work, and general training. I think 14oz could be okay for heavy bag.

I’ve never tried the yokkao Thai pads, so def listen to other people as well. If they’re more expensive than other name brands, then I’d go with the other name brands.

I have Yokkao Thai Pads and there are several pairs of them in my gym. They are extremely durable, but I do not think they are good for beginners to use. The reason I say this is because they are pretty firm and can definitely cause injury if you do not kick correctly (For example, kicking with your foot instead of shin). I have also used Fairtex, Trident Fight Gear, and a few others, and I will always go towards the Yokkao. Another reason I love them is that they definitely help with shin conditioning. If you have any other questions man, feel free to ask. I am happy to help!

Got the same gloves a year ago in 12oz . The monster design is thrashed on one glove but intact on the other. Leather and padding are still in great condition They still don't smell ( thankfully ) It feels like my thumb has borrowed its way through the padding on one glove and is now right below the leather, the other glove is fine Also these gloves are huge, make sure you like pillowy gloves before buying them. It could be an issue if you like thin and slick glove Only real complaints I have about these are: - the straps are very hard and stay that way, it may dig on your forearm if you like them tight - that huge rubber yokkao logo on the wrist is also very though, has sharp edges and suite a lot of relief. A sparring partner got cut on the eyebrow from slipping a punch.

@izzyr__ 3 жыл бұрын

Love your review of the gloves. I think since mine are so big, if they slip the glove, there’s no way that they’ll hit the rubber label haha. Crazy that one of your gloves as more wear than the other. Is the worse one on your cross hand?
