What you will need

You do not need to buy expensive equipment to enjoy and engage in your new sport!

This is a guideline, but please feel free to talk with our coaches or members on styles, brands and suitability for you.

Getting started.

  • Bottle of water
  • Crepe hand-wraps. Note:120cm are ideal if you don’t wrap your hand-wraps between your fingers. 180cm are required if you do wrap your hand-wraps between your fingers. Ask the coaches or have a look this Youtube clip to find out how it’s done.
  • Bag gloves or boxing gloves (we will lend you a pair for the first couple of sessions).
  • Suitable training shoes and clothing.

We advise to buy the best you can afford, but always try to buy leather gloves.

You will need the full list when you start to spar!

  • Bottle of water
  • Crepe hand-wraps (see above)
  • Suitable leather head-guard.
  • Gum-shield (Avoid dark colours as it’s harder to see any blood)
  • 10oz  leather boxing gloves 14oz for sparring
  • Groin-guard
  • Boxing boots
  • Boxing short and vests.
  • Skipping rope.
  • Hoodie style top
