RDX Aura Plus T-17 MMA Grappling Gloves | Red/Black, Blue/Black, Black/Gold | S–XL

Mix it up with RDX's MMA competition gloves designed to reduce mishaps in pro fights. Talon Tech allows curvature in the glove to keep the fingers closer to a 90-degree angle to offer little-to-no resistance against punch formation, while forcefully preventing your fingers from sticking out — reducing the chance of accidental eye pokes. Y-Molar architecture in the palm area ensures a solid grip and ventilation. K-Guard feature offers a longer knuckle sleeve to avoid pesky scrapes and burns.

• Kalix Skin — Durable combat leather that fluctuates according to temperature while resisting wear and tear.
• Shell Shock Gel and Supremo Shock Foam — A slab of trademark shock-diminishing gel over 1 inch of soft Supremo-Shock padding. The malleability allows easy conformation to the hand's intricate movements.
• Talon-Tech — Creates natural spacing between the webbing of your hands to form a talon-like vice-grip on the target of choice.
• K-Guard — Keeps your hands healthy and free from scrapes and burns during grappling exchanges.
• Y-Molar — Gripping and punching made easy while the design allows the fists to breathe.
• Inner-Aura — Sweat-wicking lining keeps the hands dry and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between grappling gloves and MMA training gloves?

Grappling gloves have an open-palm design with minimal knuckle padding — optimised for grip-intensive grappling, clinch work, and ground fighting where dexterity matters. MMA training gloves (7 oz hybrid) have more knuckle padding for striking while keeping open fingers for grappling. These Aura Plus T-17 Grappling Gloves are the open-palm grappling design suited for BJJ, wrestling, and grappling exchanges with light striking.

What size should I choose?

Available in S, M, L, and XL. S fits hand circumferences up to 7 inches, M fits 7–8 inches, L fits 8–9 inches, XL fits 9+ inches. Measure around the widest part of your palm (excluding the thumb). For grappling gloves, a snug fit is important — too loose and the glove shifts during submission attempts.

Can these be used in MMA competition?

The Aura Plus T-17 Grappling Gloves are built to competition construction standards. For official competition, always check with your sanctioning body for approved glove specifications — IMMAF, regional promotions, and amateur MMA organisations each maintain their own approved equipment lists.

What sports are these suitable for?

These gloves are suited for MMA training, BJJ with striking, submission wrestling, and grappling-heavy sparring. The Talon-Tech finger curvature reduces eye-poke risk during scrambles, and the K-Guard knuckle sleeve prevents mat burns during ground exchanges.
