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 Shift Boxing Gloves Black/White
Black-and-white styling meets premium leather construction in the 8 Weapons Shift Boxing Gloves Black/White — a versatile training glove engineered for Muay Thai, boxing and kickboxing. Triple-layer foam padding for serious knuckle protection, fully enclosed hook-and-loop wrist for secure support, and reinforced seams for long-haul durability across all striking disciplines.
The Shift series carries the same training-grade construction the 8 Weapons range is known for: a compact silhouette that tucks cleanly during clinch work, a wide hook-and-loop wrist closure that locks down the joint cuff without cutting, and an attached thumb that reduces sprain risk on heavier shots. The clean black-and-white colourway photographs well and pairs cleanly with most rash guards and Muay Thai shorts.
Main features:
- Premium genuine leather with reinforced double-stitched seams
- Triple-layer foam padding for serious impact protection
- Fully enclosed hook-and-loop wrist closure for stable wrist support
- Sewn-on thumb positioned to reduce sprain risk on heavy shots
- Versatile across Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing and MMA training
- Available in four sizes from 10oz to 16oz to suit pad work through sparring
