Thai boxing gloves: indispensable in every Muay Thai training
Training in Muay Thai requires specific equipment that matches the unique techniques of the sport. Thai boxing gloves are specifically designed to support kicking, clinching and elbow techniques, without compromising protection or freedom of movement.
At Fightstyle.nl you will find a wide range of Thai boxing gloves from top brands, selected for quality, fit and durability. Whether you train in the gym or at home on the bag: with the right gloves you make the difference.
What is the difference between Thai boxing gloves and other gloves?
Thai boxing gloves differ from boxing gloves and kickboxing gloves in their shape, flexibility and grip options . They are designed with Muay Thai in mind – a sport that involves not only punching but also kneading, kicking and clinching.
Key Features:
-
Shorter cuff for more wrist mobility in the clinch
-
Rounder shape for easier catching and control
-
More flexibility for grip when clinch work
-
Firm padding to protect knuckles and wrists during punches and blocks
These properties make Thai boxing gloves ideal for Muay Thai training, but also useful for MMA athletes who combine clinch and striking.
Who are Thai boxing gloves suitable for?
Thai boxing gloves are indispensable for:
-
Muay Thai fighters – from beginner to advanced
-
Trainers who supervise pad sessions and clinching work
-
Athletes who train technique, spar or do conditioning drills
-
MMA practitioners who want to refine their striking within the Muay Thai style
Do you train in boxing or kickboxing? Then a traditional boxing glove is often more suitable. For clinch-intensive training, however, the Thai boxing glove is the better choice.
What should you pay attention to when buying Thai boxing gloves?
A good Thai boxing glove supports you in every technique and remains comfortable, even during longer sessions. When choosing, pay attention to:
-
Weight: 10 oz for pads, 12–16 oz for sparring
-
Material: Synthetic or genuine leather – both durable, but genuine leather often lasts longer
-
Closure: Velcro for quick fixation, strong enough for intensive use
-
Fit: tight but comfortable, with room for bandages or inner gloves
The models at Fightstyle.nl are all tested for practical value. No empty marketing claims, but gear that really performs.
When do you use Thai boxing gloves?
Thai boxing gloves are designed for use in:
-
🥋 Technique training: on pads, with a partner or on the punching bag
-
🤼 Clinch work: perfect for grip and control thanks to flexible fit
-
🧤 Sparring: heavier gloves with extra padding protect you and your partner
-
🏠 Home use: on punching bag or dummy, without compromising on quality
During intense training, alternate between a lighter pair for technique and a heavier pair for sparring – this will keep your gear in top condition for longer.
Maintaining your gloves
Good Thai boxing gloves will last a long time if you take good care of them:
-
Let them air out after each training session , never in a closed bag
-
Use inner gloves or bandages to absorb sweat
-
Clean regularly with an antibacterial spray
-
Store in a dry, ventilated place
This keeps your gloves fresh, hygienic and ready for the next session.
