如何選擇適合自己的拳擊手套？

How do I pick the right size?

拳擊手套的大小和重量是不一樣的，他們並不完全畫上等號唷！

Glove size and glove weight are NOT the same thing. In many cases the sizing DOES correspond with the weight of the glove, however this is not always true.

你所選擇的拳擊手套，將會因為你的目的而有所不同。

The weight of the glove is important for a variety of reasons. You will pick the WEIGHT of the glove depending on your chosen method of use. You will often choose SIZE depending on the best fit of the glove.

如果你和我一樣是個運動者，你至少會需要有一副用來訓練和對打練習的拳套，如果你是一個選手，你還會需要一副專門用於比賽的拳套。

If you’re like me, you’ll probably use one set of gloves for everything (hitting the bags, sparring). If you’re a competing boxer, you’ll have another set of gloves specifically for fighting.

當你去購買拳套時，你常會看到各式各樣不同的廣告，你真正需要的只有一副訓練用或對打練習用的拳套，基本上，訓練用拳套就可以適用於所有拳擊(立技：泰拳、散打搏擊、踢拳擊等)練習。

When you go buy boxing gloves, you will see many different kinds advertised. The only ones you really need are TRAINING GLOVES or SPARRING GLOVES. Basically, training gloves are can be used for all types of boxing training like hitting the bags and sparring.
