I'm a JKD practitioner; we do alot of drills with the mitts: hammer fist, slap, rear cross, etc. I'm 40 and have broken my left hand last year and it frankly never recovered great so I occasionally get pain when I'm punching. I have a pair of fingerless mixed martial art gloves but it hurts to use them with the hammer strike and slap as there's not a Hell of a lot of padding. I've tried using some of my sifu's gloves but the padding on the side of the hand and by the palm is next to nothing. Are there any good boxing gloves that would offer significant padding on the side and palm areas too? Appreciate any comments or suggestions.
