Muay Thai Gloves

Protects the hands and partner during pad work and drills. Look for kids’ gloves with a solid Velcro wrist strap and a snug, comfortable fit.

Muay Thai Shin Guards

Should cover the shin and instep and stay put without sliding around. Muay Thai-style guards give good protection and are easy for kids to take on and off between drills.

Gumshield

A boil-and-bite mouthguard works well for most children. Follow the fitting instructions carefully for a secure fit. Keep it clean, store it in a labelled case, and bring it to sessions that need it.

Groin Guard

Recommended for protection during partner drills. Choose a style that’s comfortable and stays in place while moving — compression-shorts or jock-style both work well.

Buying & Sizing Tips

  • Gloves: snug fit with full wrist closure, no loose movement.

  • Shin guards: cover from just below the knee to the top of the foot.

  • Gumshield: fit securely and replace if it gets damaged.

  • Groin guard – based on waist size
