SKS Empire
Apparel & Equipment
Handcrafted in Thailand. Used by elite fighters at Rajadamnern and Lumpinee. The UK’s only official SKS distributor — delivering championship-level gear to your door.
Every punch thrown, every kick landed, every session on the bag — the gear you wear matters. At SKS Empire UK, we don’t just sell Muay Thai equipment. We bring you the same handcrafted Thai products used by elite fighters at Rajadamnern and Lumpinee Stadium — the most prestigious boxing stadiums in the world — delivered straight to your door in the UK.
Here’s a full breakdown of everything in the SKS Empire range.
Why SKS Empire?
SKS Empire is the only official UK distributor of SKS products. Every item in the range is handcrafted in Thailand using premium materials — real leather, microfiber, multi-layer foam — built to the same specification as the equipment used ringside at Thailand’s biggest fight nights.
When you train in SKS gear, you’re not wearing a mass-produced imitation. You’re wearing the same brand that sponsors elite competition at the highest level of Muay Thai. Free shipping on all orders over £100.
Gloves
The SKS glove range is the centrepiece of the collection. Handcrafted from premium leather and high-grade microfiber, built with multi-layer foam for shock absorption and a snug anatomical fit. Three styles to choose from:
SKS Leather Tiger Gloves “Sakyant”
£120
The premium tier. Genuine leather construction featuring the iconic Sakyant sacred tattoo artwork — the same spiritual protection imagery worn by fighters in Thai stadiums for generations. Available in Black and Inferno Tiger colourways. The best glove in the range.
The full velcro leather range covers Black, Red, Blue and Military Green at £100, with Metallic finishes in Blue, Green, Silver, Red and Pink also at £100. The Sakyant Black velcro leather gloves sit at £120 alongside the Inferno Tiger model.
Shin Guards
Your shins take a beating in Muay Thai. SKS shin guards are built to absorb that punishment — thick padding, secure fit, premium materials — so you can train harder without the wear and worry. The range mirrors the glove collection in quality and variety:
The Sakyant Leather Shinguards in Black or White at £120 are the standout — matching the premium Sakyant gloves for fighters who want a full coordinated set. For something bold and distinct, the Military Green leather option is hard to beat.
Muay Thai Shorts
Muay Thai shorts are part of the identity of the sport. The SKS range is one of the most varied on the UK market — 16 designs spanning bold traditional Thai artwork to modern colourways, all at a flat £55. Wide cut for full kicking range, lightweight fabric, authentic Thai finish.
T-Shirts & Tracksuits
Rep the brand outside the gym. The SKS apparel range goes far beyond a single tee — ten designs across multiple colourways, all at £35, built for fighters and fans who want to carry the SKS identity wherever they go.
Whether you’re after the iconic Sakyant sacred tattoo design, a bold Tiger Inferno tee to match your gloves, or a clean Lumpinee Stadium shirt that speaks for itself — there’s something here for every fighter and fan. The Black Tracksuit at £75 is the full package for anyone who wants to arrive and warm up in proper SKS style.
Coaching Equipment
The SKS range extends well beyond personal fight wear. Whether you’re a coach kitting out a gym or a fighter investing in proper training tools, the equipment range is built to the same premium standard as everything else SKS produces — handcrafted, durable, and designed for serious use.
The Double Strap Kick Pads at £180 are the premium pick — the double strap system gives coaches a more secure fit and better control during combinations. The standard Kick Pads at £140 are a solid workhorse option for gym use. The Belly Pad at £105 rounds out the coaching setup, built for absorbing body shots safely session after session.
Kids Range
Muay Thai builds discipline, confidence and physical fitness from a young age — and young fighters deserve proper gear, not cheap imitations. The SKS kids range covers everything a young fighter needs, with the same care and quality that goes into the adult collection.
It’s never too early to start training in the right kit. Whether your child is stepping into their first class or already competing, the SKS kids range has them covered from head to toe.
The kids gloves come in seven colours at £65 — synthetic leather construction sized for younger hands, with the same velcro closure as the adult range. The shorts range includes ten designs at £55, from the bold Inferno Eragon through to the tri-colour options, making sure every young fighter can find something they’ll want to wear to every session.
