Fairtex Boxing Gloves

After several years of boxing training and now coaching Mixed Martial Arts from a striking point of view I am often asked who are the best boxing gloves to buy.

The first point is all about size. Boxing gloves do not come in the sizes they come in weight between 8 and 18 ounces of 8 or 10 oz gloves are gloves designed to compete not really fighting for sparring or training, however, a lighter pair of boxing gloves can be useful for work paved and very light sparring generally well constructed for the purpose of bag gloves are better for pads or work bag.

I recommend no less than 12 oz gloves for any training which is likely to involve sparring, 14 or 16 oz, however, are the norm for sparring with moderate contact. 18 oz I tend to see as burdensome, but may be useful for sparring or heavy for the guys great need to reduce their level of impact. For heavy sparring headgear often available in the same manufacturers that the gloves will probably be more appropriate for very large boxing gloves.

Muay Thai buying brands such as High King, or gloves Fairtex Twins is generally a better bet than western boxing brands that most brands of goodwill boxing to work .. In the Muay Thai clinch is an integral part of sport so the gloves are a slim design that fits well for MMA too.

Quality is an important consideration when buying bulk boxing gloves. There are lots of cheap gloves made in Pakistan or China, and imported here under a variety of brand names, some are ok, some even good, but for the most part, they have not been tested, regardless reliable and poor quality. I recommend going for a proven brand name such as High King or Fairtex. A good pair of boxing gloves, if supported will take years of training while a pair of cheap, you'll be lucky to have one year on, the old saying buy cheap buy twice s apply myself here.

The quality of gloves has an effect on the safety aspect of their use. I ban gloves cheap my gym for that reason. Boxing gloves are designed to protect the person that hit you (a concept clear, but often misunderstood in the beginning) of poor quality upholstery wears out quickly soon offer a little more protection than bare fingers, the Velcro on cheaper imports are often not properly covered, or you may cause abrasions and infections often in contact with skin peoples.

So it really is a massive factor to consider if you are a beginner or have been doing this for years, or you could cause serious damage not only to yourself but to the person you're fighting with. Is it really worth saving a little money when long-term, you could do some serious damage to yourself? If you're passionate about what you do then just take this factor into account small and you have the last word.
