Diped foam full finger in the uk any good martial arts shop will have them or ask your instructor to order some. Most instructors will have an account with a supplier.

Hope this helps Assuming your talking about freestyle points karate. If it's traditional the elasticated mits will usually be required in either case the same advise will suit.

For semi-contact TKD i use the half-glove type as shown below:

However, it is better to ask your instructor because different styles have different rules on what you are/aren't allowed to have, especially if you start entering competitions.

i need somthing like the photo
they do not have a place for finger padd or something like this you have to tuck the finger in from matt blake :confused: :eek: :bang:

[Davey Bones]

So you can use fingerless gloves? Check out the websites.

If you're in the states, try century martial arts (www.centuryfitness.com) or kwon (www.kwon.com) or martial arts mart (www.martialartsmart.com)

It is important to note that under WKA rules and many other association rules in the UK that open finger gloves are not allowed due to some serious injuries involving fingers and eyes.

we always used century C-Gear which offered a lot of padding but after a year or two or three your thumb wore through.

I have used kamikaze karate gloves. that was my only experience with kumite gloves brands :)

Mat.
The gloves you have posted are not usually suitable for point sparring. MMA gloves like those above are not designed to protect the person bering hit at all and therefore wont be allowed by most clubs and/or organisations.

The best kind of kit for points sparring is this kind of thing:
http://www.karatedepot.com/catalog/images/items/pr-pu-01.jpg

Available from: http://www.martialartshop.co.uk/martial_art_sparring_equipment.htm

If you order now and dont mind them being gold coloured (which I think is quite cool), the gloves are only £14.99.

If you are in the US then:

The Macho warrior range is excellent qualoity, and is ideal for all points sparring/light contact competition.

If you start doign points sparring with regular MMA gloves someone will get hurt.

I use mitts simular to these but in white. ^^^^


http://www.themartialartists.co.uk/prodimages/wukomitts.gif

I used to use mitts like these but they broke and I brought a different pair. The adults at my club are allowed to use these mitts if they wish but the children have to use the first example.

[matbla]

thank you for yor reply the secound one posted haave you seen them used i own them from matt blake

[karate princess]

the secound one is from sun and it is used for?

I believe the second pair of mitts are used for more MMA's or hitting the a punch bag.

[karate princess]

thank you for yor reply the secound one posted haave you seen them used i own them from matt blake

Yeah, I've seen the second pair used loads of times in point fighting, but in point fighting the aim is to score points and not hurt your opponent that much really.

The second mitts I would recommend more for full contact as you can feel the punch through them more, or in other words, the second pair don't have as much padding.

[matbla]

well thank you my teacher let me use the second pair
o.k he order them for me from sun martial arts choirborthers
and do you have any mitts i can get so ihave a few in case someone forget there at sparring time and i can lone them a pair. from a happy board member matt blake

I'm sure your instructor would have mitts that students could borrow if they forget their but if you want to get some more, get the first pair (the more padded ones) because you never know who you'll be lending them to.

[matbla]

yes he would but i know a few of them and they forget alot of the time i do not want them left out.
thanks for the reply here keep up the good work o.k
