Boxing training keeps kids fit and healthy. It also develops power, speed, agility, defence and many other skills. Most children enjoy boxing as they learn the art of defence which becomes a lifelong talent.

The type of kids boxing gloves used varies depending on age and activity:

2oz for ages 3 to 4 years
4oz for ages 4 to 5 years
6oz for ages 6 to 8 years
8oz for ages 8 to 10 years
10oz for youth

Usually hook and loop boxing gloves are used in training, and lace up gloves are used in competition fights.

Lighter training gloves are preferred for regular activities such as pad work. For Punch bag training it is recommended to use gloves that provide additional padding. You could opt for 2 or 4 ounce heavier gloves than you normally would for bag training.

Children that are part of a boxing club normally carry protective equipment for sparring activities.

Hand wraps protect the wrists and hands during training. The hand wraps come as a pair of bandage rolls and they are wrapped around the wrist and hand areas.

Mouth guards protect the jaw and teeth during sparring. Most mouth guards are designed to provide a perfect contoured fitting for all.

Head guards protect the face and head during sparring and competition. The types of head guards include the cheek head guard and also the bar head guard which offers extra protection for the mouth and chin areas.

Boxing Pads are used to develop the boxers’ speed, accuracy and fitness. Boxing coaches use focus pads to train fighters, sometimes using techniques that simulate a fight performance.

Punch bags are used to increase power and fitness. Kids Punch bags are 2ft, 3ft and 4ft in height and normally weigh 10-25kg. They can hung using a wall bracket and can also be hung from the ceiling.
