  1. Difference Between Boxing Gloves and Muay Thai Gloves

  2. Muay Thai and boxing are both stand-up striking styles that place a strong emphasis on punches. Sport such as boxing incorporates pure pugilistic elements, whereas Muay Thai uses different parts of the body. As a combat sport, Muay Thai is considered by many to be more complete than pure boxing. A variety of techniques are employed in the Thai martial art, also known as the "art of 8 limbs", such as punches, elbow strikes, knee strikes, kicks, and clinching. Muay Boran, the predecessor of Thai boxing, refined the original moves for modern competitive competition. As a result of its effectiveness, it incorporates western boxing punch techniques as well. Despite what many people believe, modern Muay Thai derived its rules and format from boxing, including the use of gloves for safety. Both boxing and muay thai gloveshave improved over time to offer optimum protection and performance for their respective sports, although their appearance is similar.

  3. Many gyms are now offering combat sports training due to the popularity of mixed martial arts. Various martial arts styles are practiced by enthusiasts and competitors alike. Since boxing gloves are often interchangeable for training, it is common to refer to both sports as using boxing gloves. Throughout this article, we compare the basic differences between boxing gloves and Muay Thai gloves to help you make an informed decision before you make your next purchase.

  4. In the UK, bare-knuckle boxing was popular until the introduction of boxing gloves in the mid-18th century. In 1867, boxing gloves were made mandatory by the Marquess of Queensberry. In the beginning, boxing gloves were similar to oven mitts with minimal padding, but they grew more padding over time. Comparatively to Muay Thai gloves, modern boxing gloves feature more streamlined silhouettes. In addition to the box shape, there is extra padding concentrated in the front area (knuckles) to reduce the impact of punches. Additionally, the streamlined design makes punches more powerful, piercing through defenses more easily. Muay Thai sparring or competitions are not recommended to be done with boxing gloves due to their lack of overall protection. Features of Boxing Gloves

  5. Features of Muay Thai Gloves The history of Muay Thai begins with Muay Boran. It was originally intended for unarmed combat on the battlefield. Later, during periods of peace in the early 18th century, it was marketed as a competitive sport. It was common for Muay Thai competitors to fight with hemp ropes around their hands during the early days of the sport. At the turn of the century, under King Rama VII, significant steps were taken to modernize Thai boxing. Among the new rules were the introduction of boxing rings as well as the regulation of boxing gloves for safety.

  6. Due to changes made to the western boxing gloves, Muay Thai gloves took on their current form. Muay Thai gloves, in general, feature a rounded silhouette with all-around padding to protect hands completely. Extra padding provides additional protection against elbows, punches, and kicks. As well as being less rigid, Muay Thai gloves usually have a flexible fit that allows them to clinch. Until recently, boxing gloves have been the weapon of choice for boxing competitions and professional boxers. For boxing training, Muay Thai gloves are becoming increasingly popular due to their excellent protection and versatility, making them a great option for beginners and non-competitive practitioners alike. Muay Thai gloves are versatile and suitable for use in most situations, regardless of whether you're training Muay Thai or western boxing.
