From what I've heard, they do go head to head with the winnings glove.New pickup. Can't wait to break em in.
Gonna see how they compare to the Winnings. They def set a high standard.

Same. I always heard they were harder than the winning gloves, I haven't used em yet but I can feel the difference. The wrist support seems nicer on the Reyes. The winnings are like butter, been using em for 5-6 yrs now wanted to give em a break. Had to grab a pair in Mexico.
Idk if there's a shortage of Winning or what. One of my friends was in Tokyo maybe 6mths ago and I asked him to do me a favor and hit up this shop and grab me another pair. He said as soon as he walked in the shop the owner was like " SOLD OUT". Turns out they had nothing in stock for Winning. Dude goes there often, prob gonna ask him to grab me another pair next time he goes. Thinking either white or blue the next pair.

Unless those are a new model of Reyes gloves, they’re still “punchers” gloves. Winning are super protective and definitely not punchers gloves.
I only did one training session in a pair of 8 oz Reyes gloves and I definitely felt every punch.
My 10 oz Winning gloves are amazing and I can throw as hard as I want and my hands don’t feel the impact at all.
Ring to Cage has a good Winning clone and Sabas also make protective gloves for sparring. I got 16oz Sabas for sparring and got my wife some 12oz Ring to Cage for her classes.

almost got into a fight with some old head at the gym todaywas doing some push kick drills on the punching bag minding my own business and I looked over and seen this dukes camera pointed at me while he was between sets. I made eye contact and he moved it away and looked away. I finished up and walked away but turned back cause I knew it was gonna bother me. Thought I was being paranoid but something in me said "just go ask its probably nothing".. I asked (respectfully) “hey man don’t mean to bother you and I’m sure I’m misunderstanding but you weren’t recording me right?”
He tells me he was on FT with his son and shows me his phone. He was. I was like “cool awesome man I figured I was trippin” and I was ready to leave, super relieved.
Then duke tells me his son “is a boxer” and could train me and how he’ll give me his instagram, in a very “he’s the real deal way better than you” type of way. I was like ??? I’m good lol
Then dude asks “what if I was recording you?" I was like idk.. you said you weren’t so we’re good?
Tells me he can record anyone he wants in here. I was like yeah except if I was in here recording cheeks in leggings I’d get kicked out. (Idc about the politics of recording tbh that isn’t the issue here)
Duke starts like jumping a tiny bit like he wants to fight and is starting to stare me down and asking me if I’m good
I was like “yeah bro you said you weren’t recording me so I’m all good have a good day” and start to walk away
He goes “mind your own business next time”
I go “I was” as I’m walking away
Then he says “boutta get yourself knocked out”
I just laughed and left.
Absolutely wild encounter. Cannot believe it went that route, all I wanted was some confirmation that I was being paranoid and I woulda dapped him up and been on my way.

Tbh looking back at it.. I woulda been fine taking out OG. Dudes with loud mouths and looking for an issue usually ain’t the ones who got it like that.
My concern is his son pulling up and getting jumped or even worse them just chillin in the whip waiting for me to leave with da musket.
People are idiots and do entirely too much for nothing. I trust no one in this world.
The only reason I’m comfortable going back tomorrow is because I’m sure he thinks he punked me, thinks I cant fight yada yada whatever and prolly told his son I ain’t a problem. Which I’m not trying to be tbh. I didn’t do Muay Thai for 10 years to fight some rando OG at the gym over his damn camera

I honestly can't stand going to them. So many strange people, a lot of egos there and fake tough guys.

Yeah it’s the biggest gym in my area. My last gym I had no problems.. complete gym rat gym rundown
This one has all the influencers and ego lifters (like this guy from what I saw of how he was doing his sets lol)

Going for 4 gi and 2 no gi classes this week. Let's see what breaks first.

Always liked no gi better.
Did BJJ for a year, sometimes I wonder about going back for another.

I prefer gi cause I think it's "easier". The gi is a weapon. Dudes be sweating in no gi wearing tights, nothing to grab onto. It's a mess but it simulates actual real life combat better I guess.
Why did you stop?

That’s what I like about no gi.. IMO it’s more useful in practically all combat situations. MMA or real fight.
For pure BJJ / traditional and competition, no gi clearly had the BJJ world’s heart when I trained.
I stopped because the gym I went to seemed to favor the gi classes and did no gi because they had to. I wasn’t a fan. After learning x amount, they wouldn’t let me learn more submissions if I didn’t get a gi and start my belts. I think the line was at ankle locks and further.

Pure no gi people are weird. But I get it.
Most gyms favor gi classes. There are only a few guys in my gym who do both no gi and gi consistently. No one forces you to do no gi, but the gi classes are sort of mandatory if you want to get promoted.

Eh. I just didn’t see any point because I was training for self defense mainly, so I realized I’d never walk around in a gi = why should I learn any of the gi chokes / submissions?Pure no gi people are weird. But I get it.
I do respect the “pure” BJJ, with gi. It’s just not for me.

I agree with old buddy. You walked up on him when you could have let it go or notified the folks that work there and been on about your day.
Not sure why you’d go over there if you weren’t tryna pick a fight or up the pole (
).Going over there on some passive-aggressive ish ain’t the move. If dude wasn’t (possibly) recording you with your
out in the locker room, then who cares?The amount of folks trippin over cameras rolling in public spaces is wild af to me, and I'm a hermit that hates taking pictures.
If it wasn't that big of a deal, alert the gym staff and keep it moving. No need to approach someone and possibly lose your life over it.
Ten years of MT or fasted BJJ three-a-days is cool until someone has a crew with them or pulls out the strap and is really about that life. Old head mighta had friends nearby or the heater in his gym bag. Now folks are crying for you on the news and wearing your face on a t-shirt., and for what?
I say all this as a known “gym bully” and someone who’s gotten into many situations where I was ready to throw hands or pull out the Nina on dudes in multiple gyms in multiple states.
90% of the time it was me instigating **** instead of letting something slide, but if I say something to you, know I’m prepared to catch a beating, agg assault, and/or murder 1 off of it. A lotta folks are either mentall ill or don't feel like they have a lot going for them to risk losing it all (
).If you walk up on me and ain’t on some obviously friendly ish, I’m assuming you’re tryna do me dirty and will act accordingly to put you down.
If you’re not ready to do the same then go on about your life. Some of us ain’t really tripping off life and/or freedom like that.
