padding that regular gloves so they offer much more protectioin against injury.
You will even find some bag gloves with a grip bar built into the glove.
It is critical that you do not use bag gloves for sparring. They are much too light and you will no doubt injure your partner, especially if the gloves
have a grip bar.
