In short: choose Muay Thai gloves first by the oz weight your training requires: 10 oz for fast pad work, 12 oz for technical sessions, 14 oz for light partner drills and 16 oz for adult sparring.
- Starting out: 12 oz or 14 oz covers most technical classes, depending on body size and your coach's rules.
- Sparring: 16 oz is the most common reference for adults to reduce impact on the training partner.
- Thai boxing drills: pair the gloves with Muay Thai shin guards for kick, block and counter work.
- Training wear: Muay Thai shorts give room for knees and high kicks.
