Thaismai "YANT" Muay Thai Boxing Gloves – Black

The Thaismai "YANT" Muay Thai Boxing Gloves bring together decades of Thai craftsmanship and serious impact protection in a sleek, all-black design. Handcrafted in Thailand using genuine leather and multi-layered shock-absorbing padding, these gloves are built to keep both you and your training partners safe round after round. Backed by Thaismai's heritage dating back to 1960, the YANT delivers authentic quality you can feel from the first session.

Why You'll Love Them

  • Genuine Leather Construction: Premium cowhide outer that moulds to your hand over time and stands up to heavy use.
  • Multi-Layer Shock Absorption: Layered foam padding disperses impact evenly, protecting your knuckles, wrists and your sparring partner.
  • Secure Velcro Closure: Full wrap-around hook-and-loop strap locks your wrist in place for a snug, supportive fit every session.
  • Handcrafted in Thailand: Made in a Thai factory with over 60 years of Muay Thai glove-making expertise – no mass-produced shortcuts.
  • Sak Yant–Inspired Design: The bold YANT graphic pays homage to traditional Thai sacred tattoo art, giving these gloves a look that stands out on the bag or in the ring.
  • Versatile Weight Range: Available from 8 oz to 16 oz, so you can pick the right pair for pad work, bag sessions or heavy sparring.

Best For

  • Muay Thai pad work and bag rounds
  • Technical sparring and partner drills
  • Boxing and kickboxing training
  • Fighters who want authentic Thai-made gear at a sharp price point

Fit & Feel

  • Genuine leather feels firm out of the box but softens and moulds to your hand within a few sessions.
  • The full velcro strap makes them quick to get on and off – ideal for busy class rotations.
  • Padding is dense but not stiff; expect solid wrist support without sacrificing hand mobility.
  • Runs true to standard Thai sizing – if you're between sizes, go up for sparring comfort.

UK Size Guide

  • 8 oz – Competition / advanced pad work (fighters under 60 kg / 9 st 6 lb)
  • 10 oz – Pad & bag work (all-round training weight for most adults)
  • 12 oz – Versatile training (suits lighter sparring and bag work)
  • 14 oz – Regular sparring (recommended for fighters 65–80 kg / 10–12.5 st)
  • 16 oz – Heavy sparring (recommended for fighters 80 kg+ / 12.5 st+)

Sizing tip: Most gyms in the UK require 14 oz or 16 oz for sparring. If you train primarily on pads and bags, 10 oz or 12 oz will give you better speed and feedback.

FAQs

How do these compare to Twins Special or Fairtex?

The YANT gloves are made in Thailand to the same handcrafted standard as Twins and Fairtex but come in at a lower price point. The padding density and leather quality are comparable – you're getting authentic Thai craftsmanship without the premium-brand markup.

Can I use these for Western boxing as well as Muay Thai?

Absolutely. The shape and padding work for any striking discipline – boxing, kickboxing, MMA stand-up. The velcro closure makes them especially convenient for cross-training.

How do I care for leather gloves?

Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after each session and leave them open to air-dry – never in direct sunlight or a sealed bag. A leather conditioner every few months will keep them supple.

Are these suitable for beginners?

Yes. The multi-layer padding is forgiving on newer hands, and the velcro strap is far easier to manage than traditional lace-ups. A great first pair of "proper" Thai gloves.
