Specification

What goes into custom kids' MMA gloves

Kids' MMA gloves are made for junior members: typically 4 oz, in smaller sizes with softer padding, and with the open palm and free fingers of an adult MMA glove, so children learn to strike and grip in the same kind of glove. Clubs order them in the same colours and logo as the adult gloves, so the junior class trains in the club's kit. We make them to your specification, padding, shell, wrist strap, colours and logo, and you approve a sample before bulk.

Choosing and using

Getting custom kids' MMA gloves right

The junior version of your club's glove

A kids' MMA glove is specified from your adult glove: the same shell and trim colours and the same logo placement, in a smaller size with softer padding, so juniors and adults read as one club on the mats.

The hook-and-loop wrist strap lets children put their gloves on and take them off quickly, and the open palm and free fingers mean they learn the same grips they will use as adults.

Junior sizes in the same design count towards the same minimum of 50 pairs per design as the adult sizes, so a club can kit out its junior class and its adults in one order.

A brand we make for

“What arrived matched what we approved.”

We sell boxing, MMA and strength gear under the Athlomax name, so consistency matters more to us than anything. Sparwright made our wrist wraps, knee wraps, lifting straps, boxing gloves, MMA gloves and shin guards. We saw a mockup first, then a physical sample before committing to bulk. What arrived matched what we approved. Communication was straightforward despite the time difference. We've since reordered.

Questions

Questions about custom kids' MMA gloves

9 answers buyers ask for most. Choose one to open it.

Still have a question?

Ask it the way you would ask a coach. A person replies within one working day.

Do you make kids' MMA gloves?
Yes. Kids' MMA gloves are made to order in smaller sizes with softer padding, with the open palm and free fingers of the adult glove, and can match your club's adult kit.
What size kids' MMA gloves do juniors need?
By hand circumference around the knuckles: junior XS fits 12–14 cm for younger children, and S (15–17 cm) and M (18–20 cm) are recommended up to 14. Kids' MMA gloves are typically 4 oz. The MMA glove size chart
Can the kids' gloves match our adult MMA gloves?
Yes. The junior glove is specified from your adult glove, in the same colours and logo placement, set on one mockup, so juniors and adults train in the same kit.
Leather or synthetic for kids' MMA gloves?
Microfibre and PU wipe clean easily, which suits gloves shared across a junior class. Genuine cowhide suits a premium junior line. The shell is confirmed on your sample.
Can kids' and adult MMA gloves be in one order?
Yes. Junior and adult sizes of the same design count towards one minimum of 50 pairs per design, split across sizes in any mix, for example 20 junior pairs and 30 adult pairs. A junior glove with its own build is its own design with its own minimum.
What do the mockup and sample cost?
Mockups are free, with as many changes as you need. The physical sample is priced on its specification and customisation, so its price depends on what you choose, and it is in your quote before we make it. The sample reaches you in 7–10 days, and when you go ahead with bulk, half of the sample price is credited against your bulk order. If the sample needs changes, the revised sample and its price are agreed with you before we make it. If a change is needed because we made a mistake, the revised sample is free.
Can you make kids' MMA gloves under our own brand?
Yes. Your logo, printed labels and packaging are part of the specification, and your artwork, mockups and approved specification stay yours. We never sell your design or make it for anyone else.
Will a reorder match the first batch?
Your approved sample stays in our workshop for at least two years after your last order and your specification is stored digitally, so a reorder doesn't need a new sample: it goes straight to production, from 25 per design. Your dispatch date is confirmed in writing when you place it. How reorders work
How long does an order take?
Production starts when you approve your sample, and bulk typically takes 4–6 weeks from approval, plus courier transit. Your exact dispatch date is confirmed in writing with your quote.
