Health is not saved - such a credo of WAKO. Especially in training, you will always be working on your techniques. This will help you with a piece of equipment that adapts to your knowledge and virtually grows into the sport with you. Hand protection is indispensable in kickboxing. With the boxing gloves “Star XLP” you get real leather gloves with a soft lining of washable nylon taffeta. In addition, the pre-curved foam shape ensures the right-hand posture right from the start. The PPS foam pad is deliberately pulled over the wrist to support your punching power. To prevent injury, the thumb is especially guided and fixed with a thumb strap. If you are in a hurry, you can use the gloves with the WAKO label without restriction.
Our “WAKO” boxing gloves have been the official competition gloves of the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations since 2001. In the ring sports, they have already led many athletes to glorious titles nationally and internationally. The powerful cushioning system is crucial to their success. PPS is a foam with superb impact absorption due to high air pockets, making the “WAKO” kickboxing gloves real heroes. Another safety feature is the “WAKO” gloves with the thumb sewn on utilizing a bridge. The wide hook and loop fastener keeps the gloves firmly on your hands. We can also apply the labels you need for WAKO competitions if you wish.
Not all the mysteries of our time can always be solved, but we reveal what is hidden behind the 10-ounce boxing gloves here.
Boxing gloves confused with their ounces again and again. This value is more of a safety indicator and refers to the padding, the inner workings of your boxing gloves. The higher the ounce number, the more filling in your mittens. As in real life, true greatness comes from within - even with boxing gloves.
In the padding, the 10-ounce boxing gloves are actually clearly different from each other. You will find various materials under covers made of genuine or synthetic leather. The offer ranges from one-piece spray foam blanks to multi-layer foam panels. Your hitting feeling is required here. Do you want to enjoy as much cushioning as possible, or do you prefer to feel the power transmission directly?
If you need an orientation in the actual glove size, you should use the fit as a guide. Many models differ in the cut. You can choose from models in standard, slim, or kid’s cut. Boxing gloves are usually designed unisex, but extraordinary women’s boxing gloves are also. These have a narrower shape due to the anatomical differences between men and women. The 10-ounce boxing gloves allow 100% creativity to flow in terms of design – an explosion of colors and motifs is pre-programmed.
If you look at boxing history, you will quickly see the need for uniform boxing gloves in competitive amateur boxing. Although boxing gloves are similar to today’s models since the Queensberry rules were introduced in 1867, it took a martial arts pioneer to revolutionize the sport with his idea.
Georg F. Brückner, himself an experienced martial artist and later founder of our successful TOP TEN brand, invented the first “soft” boxing gloves in 1987. In this way, Brückner prevented the imminent exclusion of amateur boxing from the Olympic Games and made martial arts “socially acceptable” again.
Both opponents wear 10 oz genuine leather boxing gloves to make performance comparable to amateur boxing. The weight is also defined in the regulations of the IBA and includes athletes from light flyweight to light welterweight. For competitions, the color of your 10-ounce gloves is also mandatory. Only blue and red are permitted here.
Sure, the weight of 284 grams or 10 ounces can’t be changed even by kickboxers with competition ambitions, but a difference can be seen at first glance. There are no limits to your creativity. If you stay within the competition regulations of WAKO Germany, there are no color restrictions. In addition to a striking surface made of genuine leather, your 10-ounce boxing gloves must have a WAKO Germany label.
But the fist protectors with 10 ounces are also approved for kickboxing internationally. In this case, there is no requirement for a glove cover, but you are limited in the competition colors, red and blue. There is no additional WAKO label, although some of our internationally approved WAKO boxing gloves have a corresponding label print for easy identification.
Of course, you will also find 10-ounce boxing gloves away from the competition in boxing and kickboxing. Whether in training or sparring - their field of application seems to be endless. However, due to the exceptionally high safety requirements in the training area, there is one important rule to be observed - always put bodyweight and power of impact together. This means in detail: The more kilos you weigh, the higher the number of ounces in your training and sparring gloves should be.
But even downright flyweights can't hurt a few more ounces in training and sparring. Instead, you build your endurance and condition with more weight on your hands. Those who have rehearsed their technique with heavy hands will step freely into the ring with 10-ounce competition gloves. In addition, a plus in padding brings more safety on both sides.
Due to the weight relationship, gloves with less than 10 ounces are also used for children and young people. All athletes under a bodyweight of 75 kg and fitness boxers are spot on with the 10-ounce boxing gloves in training and sparring.
Now that you're fit in theory, your fingers are probably itching. Don't forget to test your new 10 oz boxing gloves only with bandaged hands. After all, you'll never wear them “bottomless” later, even in daily use. This is the only way to effectively prevent premature wear and tear caused by sweat or odor bacteria.
