Boxing gloves - why should you choose them?
If you are starting out in combat sports, you need to take care of the necessary accessories. Thanks to them, you will "survive" every training session and take your skills to a new level without fear of losing your health. In the beginning, it is usually not necessary to buy advanced equipment, only the most necessary - for example, professional boxing gloves.
The need for gloves was introduced in the second half of the 19th century. It was then that the Queensberry Rules were issued, in which the obligation to conduct duels with boxing gloves appeared. The equipment described is designed to best protect the trainee's hands from injury. The gloves also have an important function when it comes to the safety of the opponent. They minimise possible injuries to the skull and face. The choice of the first boxing gloves is important, because an accessory that is incorrectly chosen in terms of size, material, binding and purpose will make the enthusiasm for taking part in training quickly subside. The right tooling will make it easier to learn the first punch combinations - training will be more comfortable.
Boxing glove sizes
Glove sizes refer not to their size, but to their weight. They are defined by the OZ parameter, which stands for the number of ounces, i.e. the weight of a specific model. 1 ounce is equivalent to 28 grams. This sizing system for professional boxing gloves is used by almost all manufacturers worldwide.
So how does one choose the right size for a product? When deciding, the size of the hands and the weight of their owner are taken into account. It is also worth noting the intended use of the boxing gloves. Models up to size 8 OZ are suitable for use by children and women with a petite physique. Standard women's sizes range from 10 to 12 OZ, while men's sizes range from 14 to 16 OZ. There are also larger sizes available. With properly sized boxing gloves, you will reduce the risk of health- and sometimes even life-threatening injuries almost completely.
The purpose of boxing gloves
When choosing boxing gloves, you should also pay attention to their intended use. A different type of accessory will work for sparring and another for technical training. The inner size of the gloves remains the same from a size of 10 OZ. However, the outer size changes, which is related to the amount of padding used in the strike zone.
Which boxing gloves will be suitable for sparring? Decide on those with more padding. These will reduce the risk of injury to your sparring partner. This type of glove should also be chosen when defending - they will be suitable when hiding behind the guard. So if you are looking for a product suitable for use during sparring, choose heavy boxing gloves of a large size.
During technical training performed with a punching bag or shield, boxing gloves that have a lighter weight will work well. This type of product will make it easier to work on dynamics, speed and technique.
Glove material and binding
Boxing gloves are manufactured from synthetic or genuine leather. For those who are new to boxing training, a product made of synthetic leather, which costs much less than one made of real leather, will be a better choice. If you give up on developing your boxing skills, you can abandon your training without feeling like you have spent a large amount of money on an activity that you will no longer continue. Boxing gloves also have different ways of securing them to the wrists so that they can be fitted precisely to the hand. They come with either bindings or Velcro. The Velcro model is easier to put on and take off without the help of a second person.
Boxing bandages
In addition to gloves, boxing bandages are essential to protect the hands during fights and training. They will protect the entire wrist and bones from injury - however, they need to be fitted precisely. In addition, boxing wraps are good for stabilising the hand and strengthening it.
