FAQ
Which boxing gloves should beginners choose?
Beginners should choose 14 oz boxing gloves with velcro closure. This size offers a good balance between protection, comfort and versatility for different types of training.
Can I use the same gloves for bag work and sparring?
It is possible, but not recommended long term. Using separate gloves for bag training and sparring helps maintain padding quality and improves safety for training partners.
Are heavier boxing gloves better?
Heavier gloves offer more protection and conditioning but are mainly recommended for sparring. Lighter gloves are better suited for speed and bag work.
