Boxing is one of the best sports for children: coordination, discipline, self-confidence, energy outlet. But it requires equipment adapted to their build: smaller wrist, less powerful punch, proportionate padding. RDX kids gloves are designed for ages 5–12.

Frequently asked questions
From what age can a child start boxing?
From age 5–6 for fun introduction, 7–8 for structured contact-free training, 12 and over for light sparring under supervision.
My child boxes at home, not at a club. Which gloves?
4B Robo Kids 4oz for ages 5–8, F6 KARA Kids 6oz for ages 8–12. Avoid adult gloves that “will do” — that is what prevents wrist injuries.
Do children really need hand wraps?
Yes. A child’s wrist is more fragile. Short wraps (2–3m) stabilise the joint. Teach them to wrap themselves from age 8–9.
The child grows — do you need to buy new gloves every year?
Plan replacement every 18–24 months between ages 5 and 12. 4B Robo covers 5–8, F6 KARA Kids covers 8–12: 2 pairs for 7 years of practice. From ages 12–13, move to adult 8–10oz.
Can my child spar with these gloves?
For very light supervised club sparring with head guard and mouthguard: yes. F6 KARA Kids 6oz is sufficient for controlled children’s exchanges. For repeated or harder sparring, follow your club’s recommendations.
Give them the sport that develops body and character. 2 models below, from the 5–8 year beginner to the 8–12 year regular practitioner.
