These are the gloves that made boxing feel accessible, safe, and surprisingly fun. No intimidation, just progress and sweat.
If you’re new to boxing, you’re going to need gloves — but you have a lot of options. Leather vs synthetic. Foam padding vs gel padding. Velcro vs lace-up closures. You may want to talk to your trainer first, especially if you’re buying gloves for a specific martial art. If you’re learning Muay Thai, for example, Raja gloves — a Thai brand — offer denser padding for blocking kicks and more flexible cuffs for clinching.
When it comes to boxing, Hayabusa’s S4 gloves won’t break the bank if you’re new to the sport, but they also offer protective features like injection-molded padding instead of soft foam, splinted wrist support and a pre-curved fit.
