Dont buy anything yet. Look for a gym in your area and try to hook up with a trainer. Then he can help you out. You can train on your own, but then you will pick up bad habits.

sign up at the gym first, they should have equipment for you to use, especially since your only starting out. I remember when I first started at a gym they gave me a pair of handwraps and they had a wall full of rundown old gloves. The upside of that is that you get to use different kinds of gloves and see which ones you like, the bad side is that they're used and dirty. The main reason to not get anything for you is in case you decide not to do it after awhile you dont waster your money.


I recommend you go to a gym and go a couple days and if you like it go to ringside or titleboxing and look at their stuff and see what you would like to buy. The first things you would need are shoes, wraps and gloves. As you advance then you can get sparring equipment. 16 oz is pretty much the standard everywhere for sparring, and only use training or sparring gloves to spar. Bag gloves are not intended for sparring and are harder.
