Kids' Combat Sports Clothing – Boxing, Muay Thai & Kickboxing
Young athletes need combat sports clothing that fits properly, provides plenty of freedom of movement and suits their sport.
At Vikingstore, you'll find combat sports clothing for kids and young athletes for boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing and regular training at the gym or club.
Choosing the right size is particularly important for children. Clothing that's too tight can restrict movement, while shorts or shirts that are much too large can also get in the way during training.
Combat Sports Clothing for Young Athletes
Kids move a lot during combat sports training. They run, jump, punch, kick and constantly learn new movement patterns.
Their clothing should interfere with these movements as little as possible.
The requirements also differ depending on the sport. A young Muay Thai athlete, for example, may need a different type of shorts than a young boxer.
That's why children's combat sports clothing should be selected according to sport, size, fit and intended use.
Kids' Muay Thai Shorts
Kicks and knee techniques play a central role in Muay Thai.
Traditional Muay Thai shorts for kids therefore have a short, wide cut that provides plenty of freedom around the legs.
This allows young athletes to practise kicks, knees and combinations without their clothing unnecessarily restricting their movements.
Design is naturally important to many children too. If they like their shorts and feel comfortable wearing them, that's another advantage.
The correct size and fit should nevertheless remain the priority.
Boxing Clothing for Kids
Footwork, evasive movement and mobility are important parts of boxing training.
Clothing for young boxers should therefore feel lightweight and comfortable without unnecessarily restricting movement.
Depending on the type of training and the club, young athletes may wear traditional boxing shorts or other suitable sports clothing.
If your child is just starting boxing, it's worth asking the coach what clothing the club recommends or requires.
Kids' Kickboxing Clothing
In kickboxing, clothing needs to provide plenty of freedom around the legs.
High kicks shouldn't be restricted by shorts or trousers that are too tight or unsuitable for the discipline.
The appropriate clothing can also depend on the specific type of kickboxing being practised.
Competition rules may specify particular clothing requirements. Regular training clothing is therefore not automatically suitable or permitted for competition.
What Size Does My Child Need?
When choosing children's combat sports clothing, don't rely on age alone.
Two children of the same age can have very different heights and body proportions.
Pay particular attention to:
- body height
- waist measurement
- manufacturer's size chart
- cut of the individual product
- preferred fit
The sizing information for the individual product is generally more useful than a broad recommendation based solely on age.
Should I Buy a Larger Size for Growing Room?
Children grow quickly, so it's understandable to consider buying combat sports clothing one size larger.
A little extra room can make sense, but the clothing shouldn't be so large that it slips or interferes with training.
Shorts in particular should stay securely around the waist while still providing enough freedom of movement.
Clothing for a Child's First Combat Sports Class
If your child is just starting boxing, Muay Thai or kickboxing, you don't necessarily need to buy a complete professional outfit immediately.
Comfortable and functional sports clothing is usually the first priority.
It's also worth asking the coach or club what your child needs for a trial session and what will be required for regular training later on.
This helps avoid unnecessary purchases and allows you to build up the equipment step by step.
Training vs Competition Clothing
For regular children's training, clothing requirements may be relatively straightforward.
Competition can be different.
Depending on the sport, federation and event, specific rules may apply to colours, cuts or the type of competition clothing.
If your child competes, always check the current requirements with the coach, club and relevant federation before buying dedicated competition clothing.
What Other Equipment Do Kids Need?
Depending on the sport, additional protective and training equipment will be required alongside clothing.
For boxing, Muay Thai and kickboxing, correctly sized gloves are among the most important pieces of equipment. Boxing hand wraps & inner gloves are also worn underneath boxing gloves.
For conditioning, coordination and footwork, jump ropes & skipping ropes can be a useful addition to training.
The additional protective equipment your child needs depends on the sport, age, type of training and the requirements of the individual club.
Comfort Is Especially Important for Kids
Even the best-looking combat sports clothing isn't much use if your child doesn't feel comfortable wearing it.
Make sure the clothing fits comfortably and doesn't unnecessarily pinch, rub or interfere with movement.
For children who train regularly, comfortable and well-fitting clothing can make a noticeable difference during training.
