MMA EQUIPMENT & TECHNICAL APPAREL
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a complete combat sport that blends striking, wrestling, and submission grappling into one unified discipline. Training and competition place diverse demands on the athlete — combining punches, kicks, knees, elbows, takedowns, clinch fighting, ground control, and high-intensity conditioning that tests strength, endurance, and resilience. The right equipment is not optional — it is essential for safety, performance, and long-term development.
REVGEAR produces MMA-specific equipment and apparel designed to support structured training, amateur competition, and professional coaching environments. From entry-level athletes beginning their journey to seasoned fighters preparing for the cage, REVGEAR delivers durable, performance-driven gear built to meet the demands of modern mixed martial arts.
MMA GEAR FOR DISCERNING ATHLETES
HAND PROTECTION
MMA training demands sport-specific gloves designed for striking but allows grappling. Sparring gloves must protect both you and your training partners, providing sufficient padding while still allowing full hand mobility for clinch work, takedowns, and ground transitions. Proper glove design is essential for injury prevention and long-term durability. Avoid gloves that sacrifice protection for styling or using cheaper materials — choose MMA gloves that position impact absorption, control, and realistic performance in training over solely their appearance.
SHIN GUARDS & TRAINING PROTECTIVE GEAR
Striking is a core element of MMA, integrated with wrestling exchanges and ground work. Lightweight, ergonomic shin guards allow you to train kicks safely without restricting movement during scrambles or takedown defense. The right protection keeps both athletes safe during technical drilling and controlled sparring, enabling you to train with intensity while minimizing unnecessary impact and injury risk.
Elbows, Knees and head guards are all commonly used protective equipment.

MMA TRAINING APPAREL
MMA technical apparel is designed to support the fast transitions and physical demands of striking, wrestling, and grappling. MMA shorts are lightweight, flexible, and built without external pockets or loose fabric, allowing unrestricted movement for kicks, shots, and scrambles while maintaining durability under clinch pressure. A secure waistband and reinforced seams ensure they stay in place during explosive exchanges.
Rashguards are a staple of both training and competition, offering a compression fit that reduces friction, manages moisture, and helps protect the skin during grappling exchanges. Paired with spats (compression leggings), they provide additional coverage and muscle support while minimizing mat burn and skin abrasion. Together, these technical garments are engineered to enhance comfort, mobility, and durability — allowing athletes to focus fully on performance.

MUST HAVE MMA EQUIPMENT FOR COACHES & TRAINERS
COACHING GEAR
MMA coaching relies on durable training equipment built to handle the full spectrum of striking drills but must account for the use of smaller gloves and the constant danger of takedowns and close up dirty boxing.
MMA focus mitts and hybrid striking pads are essential for developing clean striking combinations, striking from clinch and strike-to-shot transitions. Single-strap kick pads offer greater mobility for coaches who need to move and simulate realistic cage exchanges, while double-strap designs provide added stability for heavier impact sessions.
Body protectors and belly pads are crucial for integrating knees, punches, and takedown entries safely, allowing athletes to train with intensity during clinch work and wall drills. Thigh pads support low-kick and wrestling entry practice, while kick shields are used for power development and conditioning rounds. Timers, agility tools, and gym safety equipment further enhance structured MMA sessions, supporting athlete progression from foundational skills to advanced competitive preparation.

AMATEUR RULES MMA
Amateur MMA is governed by structured rule sets designed to develop athletes safely while preparing them for higher levels of competition. While specific regulations vary by commission or federation, amateur rules typically allow a full range of striking, wrestling, and submission techniques, with certain restrictions in place to prioritise athlete safety — such as limitations on elbows to the head, shorter round durations, or the use of additional protective equipment in some divisions. Medical checks, weigh-ins, and pre-fight inspections are standard to ensure fairness and competitor wellbeing.
Required equipment for amateur MMA generally includes commission-approved MMA gloves (typically 6oz - 8oz depending on weight class), a fitted mouthguard, groin protection, and for female athletes, approved chest protection where mandated. Some amateur divisions may also require shin guards. Athletes compete in regulation MMA shorts without pockets or loose material, and all gear must meet the standards set by the sanctioning body to ensure safety, consistency, and professionalism inside the cage.
REVGEAR AMATEUR MMA
REVGEAR is the original MMA Gear Brand
REVGEAR MMA equipment is engineered for real performance, durability, and athlete progression — from first-day fundamentals to amateur competition and professional fight camps. Every piece of gear is built specifically for the demands of mixed martial arts, supporting striking, wrestling, clinch work, and ground training so athletes and coaches can perform consistently, safely, and confidently.
Revgear is often considered one of the true “OG” MMA equipment brands because it supported the sport long before mixed martial arts became globally popular. In the early days, athletes were combining striking and grappling with gear that wasn’t built for the unique demands of MMA. By collaborating directly with fighters and coaches, the company helped develop equipment that matched real fight situations, influencing many of the standards seen in gyms today.
A major part of that legacy comes from the respected athletes and trainers who used and endorsed the gear. Early pioneer Marco Ruas, a legendary Vale Tudo champion credited with shaping modern MMA striking systems, helped establish credibility during the sport’s formative years. Elite competitors such as Fabricio Werdum, a former UFC heavyweight champion and world-class Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, further reinforced its reputation at the highest levels.
Renowned coaches also played a key role. Rafael Cordeiro, one of the most influential striking coaches in MMA, and Eryk Paulson, a pioneering submission grappler and catch wrestling coach, both contributed to the brand’s standing through their work with professional fighters worldwide.
In more recent generations, athletes such as Dan Hardy, a former UFC title challenger and commentator, Jimi Manuwa, a top UFC light heavyweight contender, and Ross Pearson, a UFC veteran and reality show winner, helped expand its presence internationally. Olympic gold medalist and two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo also represents the elite pedigree associated with the brand, bringing credibility from both wrestling and MMA at the championship level.
Through decades of innovation, durability, and trust from respected fighters and coaches, the brand has earned its reputation as one of the original pillars of modern MMA equipment.
Known worldwide as a trusted MMA brand, REVGEAR brings over thirty years of experience supplying American combat sports into every product — delivering reliability, protection, and value that modern mixed martial artists demand.
MMA GEAR FAQ's
What equipment do I need to start MMA?
Beginners typically need MMA gloves, hand wraps, a mouthguard, a groin protector, and suitable training clothing such as shorts and a rashguard. Gyms usually provide mats and bags, but personal protective gear is expected.
What’s the difference between MMA gloves and boxing gloves?
MMA gloves are lighter with open fingers to allow grappling, while boxing gloves are heavier with more padding for striking and wrist support. Each is designed for different training purposes.
Do I need shin guards for MMA training?
Yes. Shin guards are strongly recommended for drills and sparring to protect both you and your partner during kicks and checks. Some amateur competitions also require them.
How do I choose the right glove size?
Glove size depends on hand circumference and intended use. Heavier gloves are better for training and sparring because they provide more protection, while lighter gloves are used for competition.
Are mouthguards really necessary?
Absolutely. Mouthguards protect teeth, gums, and the jaw, and can also reduce the risk of concussion. They are essential for both training and competition.
What clothing should I wear for MMA?
Wear flexible shorts without pockets or metal parts and a fitted rashguard or athletic top. These allow full movement and prevent injuries during grappling.
Can I use the same gloves for bag work and sparring?
You can, but it’s not ideal. Sparring gloves have softer padding for partner safety, while bag gloves are firmer for durability and technique work.
What protective gear is recommended for sparring?
Common items include gloves, mouthguard, groin protection, and shin guards. Some people also use headgear or elbow and knee pads depending on intensity.
What’s the difference between amateur and professional gear?
Amateur fighters often wear more protective equipment, such as shin guards and slightly heavier gloves. Professionals compete with lighter gloves and minimal protection.
What equipment is useful for home MMA training?
Popular home equipment includes a heavy bag, pads or mitts, grappling dummy, floor mats, and conditioning tools like jump ropes or resistance bands. Protective gear should still be used during training.
