    that's what I was thinking might happen and that it might snag while grappling.

    It's simpler than you think.

    I don't have that problem, but I throw all my hooks palm-inside.

    The gloves can get in the way while grappling, but you gotta make some concessions if you want contact and safety. No different that wearing grappling hin guards.

    I do the same. Fits in with the vertical fist thing of Isshinryu. Thought I was weird.

    a vertical hook lessens the chances of breaking the pinky knuckle. I think it's weird that he doesn't have the glove problem that I have, but there are numerous factors which can affect this.

    i agree about concessions for safety...I spent too many years with a teacher who thought it was funny to have injuries in the school.

    I just thought those particular gloves had a very floppy looking thumb cover.
