What Size Muay Thai Gloves Should I Get?

Choosing the right size for your Muay Thai gloves is essential for comfort, protection, and optimal performance. Here's a general guide to help you determine the right size based on your weight and circumstance.

1. 10 oz and Below:

- Suitable for fighters who weigh around 120 pounds or less.

- Typically used for competitions and/or bag and pad work.

2. 12 oz:

- Suitable for those weighing between 120 to 150 pounds.

- A versatile size that works well for both training and drill sessions.

3. 16 oz:

- Recommended for sparring

- Provides extra padding for heavier hitters and is commonly used for sparring to reduce the risk of injuries.

Typically, here at Philadelphia Striking Academy, we recommend 16oz gloves for the average adult for the best overall gloves for training, pad work, bag work, and sparring.

However, to personalize your training, it may be beneficial to own 16oz gloves for sparring and smaller gloves for training.

We offer discounted rates on our gloves for new students.
