The 8 Weapons boxing glove range — Big 8 Premium, Premium, Classic, Unlimited, Unlimited 2.0, Hit, Pure, Shift, Sak Yant, Three Elephants 2.0, Cut Like a Blade and the Joe/Jenny/Jipe kids line — uses standard Muay Thai ounce sizing. All adult gloves are 10oz to 16oz; kids gloves are 6oz to 8oz. The weight controls padding, fist load and sparring suitability.
Fit tip: Most UK gyms require 14oz or 16oz minimum for partner sparring. 10oz and 12oz are bag and pad work weights. If you want one pair for everything, buy 16oz — they work across the full training spectrum.
| Weight | Bodyweight guide | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| 6oz | Kids under 8 years | Kids bag/pad work |
| 8oz | Kids 8-13 years | Kids pad and light bag work |
| 10oz | Under 60kg (132lb) | Bag and pad work, competition |
| 12oz | 60-70kg (132-155lb) | Bag, pad and light sparring |

| 16oz | Over 80kg (177lb+) | Sparring standard, all-round training |
How to measure
- Activity: Match weight to use — heavier oz = more padding = more protection in sparring.
- Hand wraps: 8 Weapons gloves are cut to fit comfortably over 4m hand wraps. If you wear unusually bulky wraps, allow one weight up for fit.
- Gym policy: Always check your gym's minimum sparring glove weight before buying.

8 Weapons Premium Boxing Gloves Black/Gold
Built around a striking gold Big 8 emblem and Thailand-made craftsmanship, the 8 Weapons Premium Boxing Gloves Black/Gold deliver the kind of glove a complete Nakmuay reaches for — a fighter who throws all eight weapons of Muay Thai. Premium leather, double-stitched seams, and a balanced foam fill give a glove that stands up to hard pad and bag work without losing the touch you need for sparring.
The Premium Boxing Gloves are built around clinch-friendly geometry — compact in profile so they tuck cleanly during plum work and 50/50 ties — while still delivering proper hand and wrist protection on bigger combinations. An internal grip bar keeps the hand closed naturally on impact, the wide hook-and-loop wrist closure locks down without cutting, and the sewn-on thumb is positioned to reduce sprain risk on heavier shots. The bold black-and-gold colourway pairs cleanly with most rash guards and Muay Thai shorts in the gym.
Main features:
- Hand-finished in Thailand from premium leather with double-stitched seams
- Striking gold Big 8 emblem framed by reinforced piping
- Internal grip bar that keeps the fist naturally closed on impact
- Wide hook-and-loop wrist closure for a locked-down, supportive fit
- Sewn-on thumb positioned to reduce sprain risk on heavy shots
- Available in four sizes from 10oz to 16oz to suit sparring through bag work
