Hey there, I am 16, around 70kg and my hands aren't huge, what glove weight would you recommend?

Thanks

I use 16 oz Twins brand gloves. My MMA teacher recommended 16oz because a lot of gyms will require you to wear 16 oz. to spar. Twins is a great brand of glove and at a fair price. (no I do not own stock in the Twins company!)

take care,

16 for sparring and bag / pad work.

I use 20 oz Ringside gloves for sparring and bag work. I have 18 oz that I used to use, but I like the heavier gloves for added work and protection. I require adult students to use at least 18 oz for training and sparring.

When I fight gloved knockdown I have a couple of sets of 4 oz that are nasty to get hit with.

It depends on what you're using them for. I would get at least 12 oz. gloves for bag & pad work, & 16 oz. for sparring. I've really important to protect your hands.

I've got 14oz that I use for training. :)

16 oz., I think, would be the way to go. Check with your school to see if they have any requirements, though!

This is a great point. Years ago, I trained at a gym & brought 14 oz training gloves for sparring & was asked to get some 16 oz.

I think 16 oz would be the minimum size glove for sparring and bagwork.

I've used 12 oz gloves and they held up for awhile before the wear and tear. But if you don't use 12 oz then I agree that 16 oz is the way to go.
