Across boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, karate, and taekwondo academies in India, protective gear quality directly determines wrist alignment and impact absorption. Selecting the right glove ounce weight for bag work versus sparring keeps both training partners safe.
1. Boxing Glove Ounce (oz) Chart by Training Purpose
- 10 oz Gloves: Competition bout weight and high-speed pad/mitt work for lighter weight classes.
- 12 oz Gloves: General fitness boxing, heavy bag rounds, and youth academy training.
- 14 oz & 16 oz Gloves: Mandatory for partner sparring—extra multi-layer foam padding protects both your metacarpals and your sparring partner. Always wear 180-inch cotton/elastic hand wraps underneath.
