Start Them Safe. The Ultimate Protective Training Glove for Young Athletes.
Building a champion starts with the right foundation. The Sting Arma Junior is not a toy; it is a scaled-down performance tool engineered specifically for the developing hands of children aged 5 to 10. Weighing in at a verified 6oz, this glove eliminates the heavy "drag" of adult gear, allowing kids to learn proper technique without fatigue while keeping their knuckles fully protected.
Whether it’s their first time hitting the heavy bag or a fun fitness boxing class, the Arma Junior delivers the perfect balance of lightweight freedom and high-density safety.
Why Choose the Arma Junior?
1) True 6oz Lightweight Design
Heavy gloves cause kids to drop their hands, leading to bad habits and potential injury. The Arma Junior’s Ultra-Lightweight Profile allows young children to lift, extend, and control their punches effortlessly. This promotes better form from day one and makes training fun rather than a chore.
2) Junior-Specific Ergonomics
These are not just shrunken adult gloves. They feature a Junior-Specific Hand Compartment with a narrower wrist and optimized thumb position. This ensures the glove fits snugly around a small fist, preventing the dangerous internal sliding that happens when kids wear "one size fits all" gear.
3) Armaplus DNA: High-Density Safety
Built with the same DNA as the adult Armaplus range, these gloves utilize High-Density Foam Padding. This creates a substantial barrier that absorbs impact shock effectively, protecting fragile bones during pad work and bag drills.
4) "I Can Do It Myself" Closure
The gloves feature a wide, secure Hook-and-Loop (Velcro) Wrist Closure. The simple, robust design allows kids to put their own gloves on and take them off without needing a coach or parent to help, fostering independence and confidence in the gym.

Sambo Store Pro-Tip
Don't skip the wraps! Even though these are kids' gloves, we highly recommend using Sting Junior Quick Wraps (Gel) underneath. Traditional long cotton wraps can be too bulky and time-consuming for a 7-year-old to apply. Quick wraps slip on like a glove, take 5 seconds to apply, and fill out the glove compartment perfectly for maximum safety.
