Finding the Right Boxing Gloves
If you're new to boxing and struggling to select the right gloves, MK1 is here to help. With the vast selection of boxing gloves available, it can be overwhelming to choose the perfect glove for your combat sports training needs. However, a quality pair of boxing gloves is a long-term investment, so it's essential to select the right gloves for your specific needs. MK1 offers various gloves, including lace-up boxing gloves, sparring gloves, bag gloves, training gloves, and competition gloves, each with varying levels of support and padding.
It's critical to use the right boxing gloves for sparring or training to protect both you and your sparring partner. Bag gloves are designed for heavy bag work and other striking exercises, providing the necessary support and padding and some are simply meant to be exclusive to your punching bag work to increase the longevity of your other gloves in rotation. MMA or Muay Thai training can benefit from gloves with specific features such as broken-in palms to make clinching easier. Kickboxers may benefit from additional padding on the gloves' tops to protect their forearms from impact upon kicks thrown their way during professional fights and sparring.
MK1 is dedicated to crafting combat sports equipment with unparalleled versatility. While other boxing gear may be tailored for certain applications, our training gloves are designed to exceed the performance expectations of even the most diligent professional boxers who put in endless hours of training at the gym. We take pride in our ability to deliver top-tier performance with our products.
In competition, gloves with specific weights are mandatory, such as 8 oz or 10 oz gloves for professional fights, 16 oz boxing gloves are most common for sparring, and up to 18 oz for heavyweights can be found in boxing gyms. The 14 oz glove can be used for sparring at the lighter weight classes, and it's a favorite training size as it offers a good balance of maneuverability and protection. MK1 offers competition gloves that meet these criteria while the training equipment covers the rest.
Choosing gloves with proper wrist support is crucial, especially if you're susceptible to a hand injury. Some gloves have added support in the wrist area, reducing the chance of injury. Wrap-around straps ensure a secure and snug fit, reducing the chance of gloves slipping off.
At MK1, we offer a wide selection of gloves for novices and professionals, whether you need sparring gloves for gym work or high-quality gloves for competition. We guarantee that our gloves will provide the support and protection you need for a successful training session and a winning fight. Remember, experimenting with different types of gloves is crucial since what works for one person might not work for another. The right equipment, including gloves, mitts, and a properly sized punching bag, is essential for successful boxing training. Our team is here to support you, feel free to contact us
