Boxing gloves for children aged 8-9 years

Boxing gloves for children aged 8-9 years

Which boxing gloves for children aged 8 - 9 years are the right ones? That is a question we often hear in our store. A simple answer cannot be given because every child is different, but 9 times out of 10 we recommend 8 oz. This size fits children in this age category perfectly.

What size boxing gloves do I need?

Children aged 8 and 9 years can best kickboxing and boxing with 8 oz boxing gloves. These boxing gloves are over 50 grams heavier than the 6 oz gloves and also slightly larger. This improves the relationship between the posture and the boxing glove. Children are not all the same. Some are larger and heavier, others are smaller and lighter. We advise children who are really small but are 8 or 9 years old to still train with 6 oz. For children aged 8 and 9 who are larger and heavier than their peers, it is better to take 10 oz. Mind you, this is also the competition weight for adults, so it is really a lot bigger and heavier.

Should I buy faux leather or leather boxing gloves?

A leather boxing glove is always better than an artificial leather boxing glove. The latter has a tendency to tear more easily at the stitching seams. But children don't hit that hard yet and if they train once a week, artificial leather gloves are fine. If children train twice a week, we recommend a leather glove. Even if your child sweats a lot, a leather boxing glove is recommended as it sweats less than artificial leather.

Use of bandages or inner gloves

Just like adults, children also sweat. It is therefore wise to have your child wear inner gloves under the boxing gloves. These absorb the sweat and this keeps the boxing gloves smelling nice and fresh. You can also choose to work with a short bandage of 250 cm. But children will often not have the patience to put these on. An inner glove is therefore the fastest and easiest way. We recommend that you buy the XPRT inner gloves in size XXS or XS for €10.
