how to choose boxing gloves

Whether you’re a new martial artist setting foot on the mat for the first time or if you’re an experienced boxer looking for new gear, CheerWing has the boxing gloves you need to safely train.

Choosing the right type of glove is important. Different sets of glove offer unique advantages for boxing and martial arts training exercises. You’ll likely use a pair of training gloves for the majority of your workouts. An essential piece of gear, all-purpose training gloves are ideal for those that are in the process of determining which weight and level of padding they prefer. Bag gloves are lighter and are designed for faster training exercises like speed bag work. Sparring gloves, on the other hand, have thicker padding to protect you and your sparring partner. ?

Once you choose a glove type, you’ll need to determine which size bests fit your hands. Boxing gloves range in sizes from 8-16 ounces. 16oz gloves are common for sparing while 8-10oz gloves are typically used for competition. There are general guidelines that will help you match your physical weight and height to the correct glove weight. You should always try on gloves while wearing hand wraps to ensure you find the perfect fit.
