How do I start learning boxing?

Start with the fundamentals rather than trying to learn everything at once. Understanding your stance, guard, basic punches and movement gives you a solid foundation to build on. Our free Beginner Boxing Academy takes you through the basics step by step.

Do I need expensive boxing equipment to get started?

No. You don't need to spend a fortune to begin boxing. The most important thing is choosing suitable equipment for your training rather than buying everything at once. At DBT, we focus on helping beginners understand what they actually need before they buy.

What boxing equipment does a child need?

Children starting boxing generally need age-appropriate boxing gloves, hand wraps and suitable training equipment. The right equipment will depend on the child's age, size and where they're training. If your child is attending a boxing club, it's also worth checking what equipment their coach recommends before buying.

Can I start boxing at home?

Yes. Beginners can learn many boxing fundamentals at home, including stance, guard, punches, footwork and shadow boxing. You don't need a large gym or lots of equipment to begin. Our Beginner Boxing Academy provides step-by-step lessons to help you get started.

What size boxing gloves should a beginner use?

The right glove size depends on factors such as your age, size and the type of training you're doing. Beginners should choose gloves suitable for their intended training rather than simply choosing the biggest or smallest option. Our glove guide explains the different sizes and helps you choose with more confidence.

What boxing equipment do beginners need?

Most beginners don't need a huge collection of equipment. A good pair of boxing gloves, hand wraps and suitable training clothing are a sensible place to start. If you're training at home, you may also want equipment such as a punch bag, skipping rope or training pads. What you need depends on how and where you plan to train.
