I don’t own a pair of MMA gloves and don’t know what brands or models to get because there are a few with really good reputation.

I want gloves that have heavy padding but not so much that it slows me down too much.

I have also heard that a lot of gloves force your hand into an open flat position which I don’t want because I don’t like poking my friends in the eye.

Any recommendations will be a great help thank you.
