FAQS

What is the difference between boxing and Thai boxing?
- Regular boxing requires fighters to throw punches using their fists. Thai boxing, however, is a more demanding art, referred to as “the art of eight limbs” and requires fighters to use their hands, feet, knees, and elbows.
Can I use boxing gloves for Thai boxing?
- While boxing gloves and Thai boxing gloves can generally be used interchangeably, the difference in technique may at times prove this to be an incompatible match. In Thai boxing, boxers must be able to catch and hold kicks with their hands, whereas regular boxing requires the fighter to throw only punches.

What are Thai boxing gloves?

Thai boxing gloves look different to other types of boxing gloves. One of the first things you’ll notice is that the gloves are shorter in appearance. The material also tends to be more flexible, allowing more movement during a sparring match or a competition.

The distribution of padding on Thai boxing gear is also different. You’ll find that there is more padding on the back of the hands, providing the much-needed protection required for this area, which is used a lot during Thai boxing for things like spinning backhands.

The additional flexibility in the gloves means that you can grab better with Muay Thai gloves. Clinch work is a vital part of Muay Thai fights, and so having the right gloves to use will make a huge difference not only to your combat style but also to the protection you have during fights.
