just gotta keep pushing the saftey issue with the coaches. For my MMA guys I just teach the stand up, mitts and bag work. So there maybe times were it's more of a traditional martial arts work out, but most of the time it's one on one mitt work and we usually use iether 12 oz or 16 oz gloves, unless were doing intervals, then we drop down to 8 oz gloves. Then for sparring we go back and forth between boxing rounds and kickboxing round and when we do that type of sparring we use 16 oz gloves for my heavy weights and any sparring , we use boxing head gear. For kickboxing sparring we also use boxing head gear and shin and instep pads. Everyone at the gym is there to help each other out and better there style, so one thing we don't want is someone getting injured.
