Whether you’re beginning your journey into Kickboxing training, or you’re a seasoned veteran who has been around the kicking bag for a long time, finding a pair of boxing gloves for Kickboxing training can at times be a bit challenging. Considering the volume of punches that’s outputted in your daily training, you need a pair of kickboxing gloves that are going to provide you with the most comfortable padding available while keeping your hands and wrists secured.
But not to worry as we have compiled our list of top boxing gloves for you to use during your kickboxing training. With our experience as lifelong martial artists, we’ve seen and felt the horrendous experience that poor boxing gloves can provide, and we can help guide you towards finding your next pair of gloves that we’re sure you will love and enjoy.
It’s not enough picking out a pair of boxing gloves that look cool or pretty. You need to be sure that your next set of gloves are packed with quality and ample padding, dependable wrist support, and that your glove is going to last you at least 8 months. When we look for quality boxing gloves, we pay attention to the type of padding used in the boxing glove, how the gloves feel during training, as well as how they feel when we’re using hand wraps (if you’re not using boxing hand wraps yet, please do your hands and wrists a favor and invest in some immediately).
Another thing you will want to consider is the price point and your current skill level. We don’t advise you to invest in higher end boxing gloves if you’re just starting your Kickbxoing journey because you probably don’t quite understand what a good boxing glove feels like. And on the contrary, if you’re an experienced Kickboxer, you probably shouldn’t be training with lower quality boxing gloves since you should be protecting your hands and wrists as much as possible during hard and intensive training.
