Equipping your child with high-quality, properly fitting gloves is the most important step in their martial arts journey. Our collection of kids' gloves is specifically designed to protect small hands and wrists, providing the confidence they need for boxing, Muay Thai, Karate, and more. Made from durable materials with secure wrist support, these gloves ensure your child can train safely and effectively.
Choosing the right size is crucial for both safety and comfort. Refer to the size guide on each product page to find the perfect pair for your child's age and weight. Invest in their safety and passion with gear designed to perform.
Kids' glove sizes are typically based on age and weight, measured in ounces (oz). A general guide is 4oz for ages 4-6, 6oz for ages 7-9, and 8oz for ages 10-12. However, we strongly recommend checking the specific size chart on each product page for the most accurate fit.
Most of our kids' gloves are versatile all-rounders suitable for bag work, pad work, and controlled, light sparring. For dedicated sparring, look for gloves with extra padding across the knuckles. Always check with your child's coach to ensure the gloves meet their gym's requirements.
To keep the gloves fresh and extend their life, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine. Using glove deodorisers can also help manage odour.
The main difference is the design. Boxing gloves are fully enclosed 'mittens' designed purely for striking. Kids' MMA gloves have an open-palm and separated fingers to allow for grappling and wrestling techniques, in addition to padded protection for striking.
Proper wrist support is critical for young athletes. A secure strap system, like a wide velcro closure, keeps the wrist from bending or buckling on impact. This helps prevent common injuries and ensures your child develops correct punching technique safely as their bones and joints are still developing.
