Hi love the video! however Just a bit of a correction, Bruce Lee did not actually design these gloves, he instead saw gloves being used in another martial art "Kenpo" and adopted it/popularized this style of glove for his own
I bought the superloop x as I got back into boxing and they feel so cheap. No wrist support what so ever and prefer my old everlast elite. Used my elites for a few sessions then used the fly for 1 session and got tendinitis in both wrists from 1 session 😂
I live in Bali and train in heat and humidity. On my first two pairs of these the leather failed and split open on the wrist after 11 months both times . Maybe due to sweat . I train 3 x week
I’ve had these, Sabas Supersoft and Winnings. I like these better than winnings personally. I like them better than Fly too. I think Prize Ring is the only sparring glove I prefer over these
One of the first what? Every damn warrior that has proceeded Bruce Lee studied striking and grappling...Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Thracians, Dacians, Ottomans, and most Asian cultures, ALL practiced striking and grappling...
Agreed! Especially when you look at the history of a sport such as catch wrestling which derived from a blend of combat sports like backhold, collar and elbow, rough and tumble, pankration, and many more that actually involve striking as much as they did grappling. Even Jack Johnson, John L Sullivan, Jack Dempsey (all former heavyweight boxing champions) practiced wrestling. I guess my statement involves more of the idea that the gloves are one of the symbolizations of MMA. A lot of early MMA fighters like Bas Rutten always pay homage to the "tao of jeet kune do." I certainly don't believe that Bruce Lee is "the father of mma." I would sooner choose Judo Gene LeBell and former catch wrestlers like Frank/Karl Gotch or even Antonio Inoki in the previous century over Bruce Lee. But I can't help but think that Bruce Lee helped a little bit. Sorry for the long response, you got me thinking on a few things.
Yes, I believe Bruce Lee would prefer competition bare fisted, but training he used boxing gloves as well just as you said to protect him. But make no mistake, he was protecting himself too.
@@combat_corp agreed. It's entirely different, gloves vs bare. Very much so for defense as well. For example the boxing catch and counter with the left hook doesn't work well with out gloves.
Probably so! But in RU-vid shorts, you only have a minute. I found a cool video of the gentleman that made these gloves for Bruce Lee. I assume you are regarding the statement of "one of the first martial arts that actively blended together" which is misguided as multiple millennia before Bruce Lee that was for sure happening. I guess I meant more of the "modern age" over the last 100 years or so.
@@crsm-0187 Oh no I know but they're still ugly I'm pretty sure the the Comfort technology is pretty good but I wouldn't wear them because I think there are tons of other gloves that look even better and it's just as good or even Superior in handling like Hayabusa or rival
Well hopefully in another week or so I can start doing that again! Had knee surgery almost 3 weeks ago and PT said to hold off for a little while longer before I do twisting motions of any kind
