The STING Arma Junior is a 6oz training glove built for the youngest boxers — the Child category, age 6 to 8, under 30kg. STING's adult-level construction in a glove properly sized for small hands, covering bag work, pad work, and partner drills from day one.
Key Features
- • Junior-Specific Padding: Foam density and thickness are matched to younger boxers, giving real protection without making the glove too bulky to throw properly.
- • Proportionate Sizing: The hand compartment, thumb, and wrist cuff are scaled for smaller hands, so the glove fits and closes correctly instead of swimming on the wrist.
- • Premium Synthetic Leather: Holds up to repeated bag and pad sessions and wipes down easily after training.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Lets juniors get the gloves on and off without help, with enough adjustment to dial in a snug wrist fit.
- • STING Build Quality: Made to the same construction standards as STING's adult competition gloves, not a budget afterthought.
- • Training Versatility: Handles pad work, bag work, and partner drills, covering everything a junior will do in a typical session.

Junior Boxing Gloves: Sizing and Weight Guide
Choosing the correct ounce weight is the most important factor when buying junior boxing gloves. The weight should correspond to the child's age, size, and hand strength. A glove that is too heavy will drag a young boxer's hands down, ruining their stance and tiring their shoulders prematurely.
Always ensure the glove fits snugly, with enough room to wear a basic pair of hand wraps for added wrist stability. Use the age guide below as a starting point — if your child has larger hands or is heavier for their age, move up one size.
| Age | Glove Weight | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Ages 5–7 | 4oz | First classes, very light pad work |
| Ages 6–8 | 6oz | Beginner pad work and bag sessions |
| Ages 8–12 | 8–10oz | Regular club training, light bag work |
* All sizing is a general guide only. The correct glove weight for your child will depend on their size, strength, and the recommendation of their coach. Always check with your club before purchasing. From around age 12, many young boxers will begin to outgrow junior sizes and move into adult boxing gloves.
Safety and Closure Systems
Safety is the priority in junior boxing equipment. Kids boxing gloves are constructed with multi-layered foam that absorbs the shock of hitting pads and light punch bags, protecting developing hands from bruising and strain. The thumb should always be fully attached to the main body of the glove to prevent it from bending backwards during a misjudged punch.
For convenience and safety, all our junior boxing gloves feature hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures. This allows children to put their gloves on and take them off independently during busy gym sessions, while the strap locks the wrist in a straight alignment to prevent it from buckling upon impact.
Purpose-Built Junior Equipment
We stock youth boxing gloves and junior equipment that is genuinely built for children, rather than novelty items. The Sting Arma Junior is engineered by the official equipment supplier to World Boxing, providing competition-level foam density inside a 6oz profile. The Tuf Wear Junior Cruise offers a lightweight, comfortable entry point for kids taking their first classes, while the Adidas Tilt 200 Junior incorporates ergonomic alignment technology to encourage proper fist formation.
