RDX F6 KARA Padded MMA Grappling Gloves
The RDX F6 KARA MMA Grappling Gloves have been developed for athletes who value freedom of movement, cushioned hand protection, and an individually adjustable fit during MMA, grappling, and technical training. The fingerless design supports gripping, clinching, and the controlled execution of various combat sports techniques.
The outer material consists of durable ConvEX Skin Maya Hide synthetic leather. Underneath the surface is Max-Shock™ Equilibrium Foam padding, which can distribute impact forces across the cushioned area. SpongeX padding on the cuffs, a moisture-regulating QD-1 lining, and the Quick-EZ hook-and-loop closure complement this functional training design.

Durable Maya Hide Synthetic Leather
The outer shell of the RDX F6 KARA gloves is made of ConvEX Skin Maya Hide. This is a synthetic leather used by RDX and not genuine animal leather.
The material is designed for shape retention and durability during regular training. However, even durable synthetic leather is subject to normal training-related wear and tear. Durability and lifespan depend, among other things, on training intensity, care, storage, and specific use.
Max-Shock™ Equilibrium Foam
The integrated Max-Shock™ Equilibrium Foam padding is designed to dampen impact forces and distribute them across the cushioned area. This can reduce direct pressure on individual areas of the hand and knuckles.
The padding does not completely protect hands and training partners from injury. Its effectiveness depends on the correct size, striking technique, training intensity, the condition of the gloves, and the additional protective gear used.
SpongeX Padding on the Cuffs
Additional SpongeX padding supports the cushioned structure in the cuff area. Together with the adjustable closure, it can contribute to a more comfortable and close fit.
The cuff padding is not a substitute for professionally applied hand wraps and does not guarantee a stable wrist position. The wrist must be actively controlled and technically aligned correctly during training.
Quick-EZ Hook-and-Loop Closure
The Quick-EZ hook-and-loop closure allows for individual adjustment at the wrist and makes it easier to put on and take off the MMA gloves. The closure should be completely fastened and must not have any loose Velcro areas that could injure a training partner.
The strap should not be tightened so much that it causes pain, numbness, tingling, or impaired circulation.
QD-1 Lining for Moisture Management
The QD-1 inner lining is designed to absorb moisture and wick it away from the skin. In combination with the open-finger construction, it supports a more comfortable hand climate during training.
The lining does not completely prevent sweat or odor buildup. The gloves must be opened, cleaned, and dried completely in a well-ventilated place after each use.
Fingerless Construction for Grappling and MMA
The open finger areas allow for gripping, clinching, holding work, and controlled ground fighting techniques. At the same time, the knuckle area remains padded, making the gloves suitable for various combined MMA training elements.
Since fingers, fingertips, and parts of the hand are exposed by design, there is still a risk of injury from twisting, hyperextension, bruising, or contact with the training partner.
Suitable for Various Training Areas
- MMA technical training
- Grappling exercises
- Clinch training
- Controlled ground fighting training
- Light and controlled striking exercises
- Pad and technical training under guidance
- Other suitable combat sports exercises as approved by the coach
The RDX F6 KARA grappling gloves are not automatically suitable for hard sparring, competitions, or intensive heavy bag training. For these forms of training, specific glove weights, padding thicknesses, or certifications may be required. The guidelines of the coach, the combat sports school, and the respective rulebook are authoritative.

Choosing the Right Size
Measure your hand according to the current RDX size chart. Depending on the size chart, this involves determining the hand circumference at the widest part of the palm, excluding the thumb.
The gloves should fit snugly without restricting finger movement or circulation. If you are between two sizes, the shape of the hand, intended use, and the wearing of hand wraps should also be taken into account.
Care Instructions
- Wipe the outside with a soft, slightly damp cloth after each training session.
- Open the gloves completely and let them dry in a well-ventilated place.
- Do not keep them damp in a closed sports bag for extended periods.
- Do not soak in water or clean in a washing machine.
- Do not use bleach, solvents, or harsh cleaning agents.
- Do not dry on heaters, with a heat gun, or in strong direct sunlight.
- Regularly remove lint and dirt from the Velcro surfaces.
- Check the material, padding, stitching, and closure before every use.
Important Safety and Usage Notice
MMA gloves can reduce impact on hands and training partners, but they cannot completely prevent injuries. The open-finger design leaves parts of the hands unprotected. There is still a risk of bruising, sprains, hyperextension, cuts, and other injuries.
The gloves should only be used as intended, with controlled training intensity, and preferably under expert guidance. For partner exercises, tempo and contact strength must be agreed upon beforehand. Suitable mouthguards, headgear, groin guards, shin guards, or other protective equipment may be necessary depending on the form of training.
For hard striking training on a heavy bag, more heavily padded boxing or heavy bag gloves are generally better suited. Whether hand wraps can or should be worn under the gloves depends on the fit, the form of training, and the coach's instructions.
Before every training session, the surface, padding, finger openings, stitching, and hook-and-loop closure must be checked. Damaged, torn, heavily worn, hardened, or poorly fastening gloves must not be used further.
Normal training-related wear and tear, as well as damage due to improper use, inadequate care, or unsuitable training intensity, do not automatically constitute a material defect. Statutory warranty rights for genuinely defective goods remain unaffected.

Frequently asked questions about the RDX F6 KARA MMA Grappling Gloves
For which types of training are the RDX F6 KARA gloves suitable?
The gloves are suitable for MMA technical training, grappling exercises, clinch training, controlled ground fighting techniques, and light striking exercises. The specific use should be coordinated with your coach or combat sports school.
Are the gloves made of genuine leather?
No. ConvEX Skin Maya Hide is a durable synthetic leather from RDX. Therefore, this model should not be offered as a genuine leather glove.
What is the function of the Max-Shock™ padding?
The Max-Shock™ Equilibrium Foam is designed to dampen impact forces and distribute them across the cushioned area. The padding cannot completely prevent injuries to hands or training partners.
What is the SpongeX padding?
SpongeX is an additional padding layer in the cuff area. It supports the cushioned structure and can contribute to a more comfortable fit on the wrist.
What is the function of the QD-1 lining?
The QD-1 inner lining supports moisture management inside the glove. However, it does not completely prevent sweat and odor buildup, which is why the gloves must be cleaned and carefully dried after each use.
Are the gloves suitable for hard sparring?
The F6 KARA grappling gloves should not automatically be used for hard partner sparring. More heavily padded MMA sparring gloves may be mandatory or better suited for this purpose. The coach's approval and the rules of the combat sports school are decisive.
Can I use the gloves on a heavy bag?
Light and controlled technical exercises may be possible depending on your training level. For intensive heavy bag training, more heavily padded boxing or heavy bag gloves are generally better suited, as grappling gloves offer less padding.
How do I find the right size?
Measure the hand circumference according to the current RDX size chart. The glove should fit tightly and securely without causing pressure pain, tingling, numbness, or restrictions on finger mobility.
Can hand wraps be worn under the gloves?
This depends on the size chosen, the form of training, and the coach's instructions. If hand wraps are used, the glove must still fasten correctly without restricting circulation or finger mobility.
How are the MMA gloves cleaned?
Wipe the outer material with a soft, slightly damp cloth after training and let the gloves air dry completely while fully opened. Washing machines, tumble dryers, direct heat, and harsh cleaning agents should be avoided.
Who is my point of contact for direct partner delivery?
Fightwood remains your point of contact for ordering, payment, customer service, cancellations, and complaints. Direct delivery by the shipping partner does not limit your statutory consumer and warranty rights.
