An MMA gym has to serve strikers and grapplers in the same room. That means more equipment than a boxing gym: mats for the ground, bags for kicks, gloves for mixed sparring and protection for every part of the body. Use this MMA gym equipment list to plan your setup.
The MMA gym equipment list
| Area | Equipment |
|---|---|
| Floor | Wall-to-wall mats, wall padding, a cage or ring if you have the space |
| Bags | Heavy bags, long Muay Thai bags, uppercut bags |
| Gloves | MMA sparring and shooter gloves, plus 16 oz boxing gloves for striking rounds |
| Pads | Focus pads, Thai pads, strike paddles, arm pads |
| Protection | Shin guards, head guards, groin guards, mouth guards |
| Grappling | Rash guards, spats, grappling dummies |
Each area has a guide: MMA vs boxing gloves, punching bags, pads and protective gear.
Gym-owned vs member gear
- Gym-owned: mats, bags, pads, timers and a set of loan gloves for trial classes.
- Members buy: gloves, shin guards, mouth guards, rash guards and shorts.
- Your opportunity: branded gloves, rash guards and shorts sell well at the front desk.
Buying from your MMA gym equipment list
- Plan by your busiest class, for both striking and grappling sessions.
- Order core gear direct from a manufacturer in one shipment.
- Brand what members wear: rash guards, shorts and gloves with your logo.
- Approve samples before bulk.
- Plan reorders for fast movers like mouth guards and wraps.
Fight team kit: matching rash guards, shorts and hoodies make your fight team stand out at events. See rash guards and MMA shorts.
