How do I choose boxing gloves?

Question

I just joined a fitness club that has boxing classes. I do want to join but I need my own boxing gloves. I found some that I want to buy just that they come in 3 different sizes 12oz, 14oz and 16oz. How do I choose? I am 5'7 @155lbs if that helps. Im oviously a bigginer but I do want to work my self up to sparing with other boxers. Im just too much of a rookie to go up to the pros and ask.

Answer 1

Try out each size and see which feels best, which is not too heavy that you can move quickly, but heavy enough that when you strike, it will be felt. You should really just ask the coach or instructor, that would be the best way. I work out a lot, and I see guys come into the gym and pretend they know what they are doing, but just end up screwing around on the machines and such. Its much better to look like an amaetur than an idiot; don't be ashamed you don't know, if you are just starting, there is no way you can. But if you are buying them on the internet, go with the 14 oz. Preferably Everlast, which is what I use. Except I use 16 oz, though I am 5'10 and 148 pounds.

Answer 2

I think you want to check the size of gloves that fits you.Different sizes of boxing gloves available in market.I also suggest you the best store that i recently visited RDX Sports UK.There are range of RDX boxing gloves available with size varying from 4 oz to 16 oz., the best boxing gloves from UK comes in several colors.They are offering boxing gloves, kids gloves man and women boxing gloves etc.

Answer 3

it goes like this.

well if that method fails then just try them on at a store and then if you buy the wrong kind, return them
