Gloves

---

Hand protection in HEMA varies by weapon types. Most in-club drilling and practice does not require heavy sparring gloves. All sparring activities require the appropriate protection for the speed and intensity of the activity. It is very difficult to design protection that works for all hands. Please talk with your instructor to help find hand protection that works for you.
