MMA – Equipment for Mixed Martial Arts
Mixed Martial Arts – MMA – combines techniques from different combat sports. Boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu come together in one versatile and demanding sport.
The equipment needs to be just as versatile. At Leone Sport Switzerland, you will find selected LEONE1947 MMA equipment for training, sparring and getting started in Mixed Martial Arts.
MMA Gloves
MMA gloves differ significantly from traditional boxing gloves. Their open-finger design allows gripping and grappling while the padding helps protect the hands during striking.
Different types of gloves may be used depending on the training. Padding and construction can vary between technical MMA training, grappling with strikes and sparring.
Discover our MMA Gloves from LEONE1947.
For traditional boxing training, focus mitt work and certain sparring sessions, Boxing Gloves are also commonly used.
MMA Shorts & Fight Shorts
MMA requires clothing that allows maximum freedom of movement for fast footwork, kicks and ground fighting.
Fight shorts are designed for mobility and are ideal for MMA, grappling and versatile combat sports training.
Discover our MMA Shorts & Fight Shorts.
Rashguards & Technical Clothing
Rashguards fit close to the body and are particularly suitable for grappling, ground fighting and intensive MMA training. They reduce excess fabric that could interfere during training and can be worn on their own or under other training clothing.
Discover suitable models in our Tops & Rashguards category.
You can find more functional training apparel under Technical Clothing.

Depending on the type of training, you may need:
- Mouthguard
- Groin protection
- Shin guards
- Headguard
- Hand wraps
- Suitable training or sparring gloves
Discover our selection in the Protective Equipment category.
For stand-up and striking training, you can also find suitable Shin & Foot Guards.
What MMA Equipment Do Beginners Need?
If you are starting MMA, you do not need to buy every possible piece of equipment immediately. What you actually need depends largely on how your gym structures its training.
A typical basic setup may include MMA gloves, a mouthguard, groin protection and suitable training clothing. For sessions with a stronger focus on boxing or kickboxing, you may also need boxing gloves, hand wraps and shin guards.
It is therefore best to ask your coach which equipment you need for your first training sessions.
Boxing, Kickboxing & Muay Thai in MMA
A large part of MMA training uses techniques found in other combat sports. Striking, for example, incorporates elements of boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai.
If you want to work specifically on these areas, discover additional equipment in our Kickboxing and Muay Thai categories.
This makes it easy to combine your MMA equipment with gear for the individual combat sports that contribute many of the techniques used in Mixed Martial Arts.
Focus Mitts & Strike Pads for MMA Training
Focus mitts and strike pads are important training tools for practising punching combinations, kicks, knees and fast transitions.
Depending on the training goal, coaches can use different pads to work on individual techniques or complete combinations.
