How do I choose the right glove weight?

For boxing and Muay Thai, glove weight is usually chosen by bodyweight and by what you’re doing.

10 oz — competition and bag work, lighter athletes
12 oz — general training and pad work, lighter or smaller athletes
14 oz — the most common all-round training weight
16 oz — the standard for sparring, and for heavier athletes

As a rough guide: under 60 kg, 10–12 oz; 60–70 kg, 12–14 oz; 70–80 kg, 14–16 oz; over 80 kg, 16 oz.

Check with your gym before buying — many require 16 oz gloves for sparring regardless of your weight. If you’re buying mainly for sparring, 16 oz is the most commonly required size. For general training, the right choice depends on your weight, gym rules and how you’ll use the gloves.

What about MMA and grappling gloves?

MMA gloves aren’t measured on the same scale. They’re open-palm and much lighter — typically around 4 oz for competition and 6–7 oz for sparring and grappling — and they’re sized S/M/L/XL by hand size rather than by bodyweight. An MMA glove is not a substitute for a boxing glove in hard sparring, and most gyms won’t allow it.

How do I choose shorts and apparel sizing?

Muay Thai shorts are cut shorter and closer than Western training shorts, and Thai sizing often runs smaller than North American equivalents. If you’re between sizes, we generally suggest sizing up.

Vale Tudo and compression shorts are a different case — they’re designed to fit tight, so size to your normal fit rather than sizing up.

If you’re unsure, email us before you order — we’d rather help you get it right the first time than process a return.
