About DBT Apparel – Boxing Equipment for Beginners & Kids

DBT Apparel was built for beginner boxers who wanted simple but effective boxing equipment in the UK.

We started DBT Apparel because there are so many different options and price ranges out there, boxing equipment can get confusing and pricey. Like many others, we struggled to find a simple, informative shop that just aimed their gear towards beginners whilst not breaking the bank.

So we decided to create it ourselves.

What does the 'DBT' stand for, Discipline Beats Talent... Boxing is built around discipline and that's something we highly promote to beginner boxers.

On a personal level

I'm Nick, co-founder of DBT Apparel along with my partner Chloe.

We decided to launch DBT Apparel after spending too much money on boxing gear at the start of our boxing journey without having the proper knowledge of what we really needed to start.

After countless 'googling' to find out what we needed to start boxing, we noticed there wasn't a dedicated company for those who are walking into the unknown at the start of their boxing journey.

Some of the gear out there is amazing quality, we know as we've tried a few different brands, but always broke the bank in doing so.

That's where we took the leap and started DBT Apparel, to limit the amount of options and just sell the best beginners boxing gear we think a beginner needs to start.

DBT Proud to Sponsor Ryan 'skrap iron' Taylor

We are very proud to sponsor Leeds boxing sensation Ryan 'skrap iron' Taylor. This journey has been amazing, he's not only an amazing fighter, but amazing person, always helping beginners out and always there for a chat.

Ryan has helped both of us with our progress in training, so thank you Ryan.

Let's hear his story from his words:

"Fighting since December 2019 but been boxing since 2023. I got into boxing because I was fighting in mma and noticed my style didn't suit, in mma I travelled to fight in Ireland 6 times, Italy and Tenerife. When I transitioned into boxing I never looked back. I fight for Autism as both my kids are autistic and also for my mum who sadly passed away 3 years ago. I got brought up in a children's home and had a lot of anger built up inside me, but boxing helped me massively with discipline and self control. Going to the gym and being around other fighters making life long friends who I now call family. I have 3 belts, 1 is a Yorkshire mma title, 1 is a novice boxing title and 1 is a super lightweight title, I have also won 'fight of the night' on a show."

"DBT Apparel has been my biggest sponsor throughout and has supported me massively in my boxing journey with equipment and supporting me at shows. When I say I've met some good friends in boxing that I can call family, DBT are one of them. I wouldn't be the boxer I am now without the support from DBT, so thank you."

Why Boxing Beginners & Kids Matter to Us

Many beginners are underserved in boxing because most equipment on the market is designed for experienced fighters, not people just starting out. This often leads to confusion, expensive purchases, and a higher risk of injury due to using gear that isn’t suited to their level. The same applies to children—standard boxing equipment can be too uninformed, confusing, or simply not designed with safety and comfort in mind for younger users.

At DBT Apparel, we focus on bridging that gap. Our boxing equipment is selected and designed with beginners and kids at the forefront, prioritising proper support, protection, and ease of use. From gloves that offer the right level of sizing and extra wrist stability to gear that fits correctly and feels comfortable during training, everything is built to help users train safely, build confidence, and progress the right way from day one.

Why Trust Us?

At DBT Apparel, we specialise in beginners boxing equipment designed for new boxers, families, and home training. Our focus isn’t just selling boxing gear — it’s helping people start boxing safely, confidently, and with the right foundation from day one.

We understand that choosing the right boxing equipment can feel overwhelming, especially for beginners and parents buying for children. That’s why every product we offer is carefully selected to support safe training, proper technique, and long-term development in boxing.

Our boxing equipment - why we started

From Fighter to Founder – The Story Behind DBT Apparel
It started with ordinary people who loved to train boxing. Boxers hungry for more — not just in the on the pads, but from their gear. Every training session revealed the same frustration: the boxing equipment on the market wasn’t keeping up. It lacked innovation, lacked comfort, and most of all, lacked creativity. So instead of settling, they began designing. Researching. Testing. They imagined winning boxing equipment that wasn’t just functional — but gear that inspired greatness.
What began as a personal mission soon turned into something much bigger. That’s how DBT Apparel was born — a boxing equipment shop built from the ground up by fighters who refused to compromise. They created the gear they wished existed. And now, they share it with fighters everywhere.
Every product at DBT Apparel comes from real fight experience. The boxing gum shield that fits like a second skin and protects like armour whilst helping air flow. The boxing hand wrap roller that saves time and keeps wraps in top condition. The durable, secure boxing wraps that never quit mid-round and allow skin to cool faster. The speed-enhancing boxing skipping rope for explosive footwork. The boxing gloves deodorizer that keeps your gear fresh and ready for war.
This isn’t mass-produced, generic gear. This is winning boxing equipment built from grit, tested in sweat, and made for fighters chasing something bigger than average. Whether you’re in the early rounds of your journey or going the distance, DBT Apparel is your corner team — your trusted boxing equipment shop for gear that works as hard as you do.
DBT Apparel – Made by a Fighter. Built for Every Fighter.
Shop now for purpose-driven boxing equipment including the boxing gum shield, boxing wraps, boxing skipping rope, boxing gloves deodorizer, and the game-changing boxing hand wrap roller — all part of our commitment to delivering real, winning boxing equipment to real fighters.

Starting boxing can be exciting.

But it can also be intimidating.

You might not know what equipment you need, how to throw your first punch, how to wrap your hands, or even whether you're ready to walk into a boxing gym for the first time.

We understand because we've been there too.

Why We Created DBT Apparel

DBT Apparel was created to make those first steps into boxing easier.

We are beginner boxers ourselves, and when we started, we made some of the same mistakes many beginners make.

We spent money on top-tier boxing equipment that we didn't actually need at the beginning.

At the same time, we didn't always have the confidence to walk into a boxing gym and start learning alongside people who seemed much more experienced.

We realised there was a gap.

Beginners didn't necessarily need more boxing equipment.

They needed more understanding, guidance and confidence.

That's why we created DBT Apparel.

Boxing For Beginners Shouldn't Feel Complicated

When you're new to boxing, there is already enough to think about.

What gloves should you buy?

Do you need hand wraps?

What size gloves do you need?

How do you stand?

How do you make a proper fist?

How do you throw a jab?

What happens when you actually walk into a boxing gym?

These questions can make starting boxing feel much more complicated than it needs to be.

We wanted to create somewhere beginners could come to get straightforward answers.

More Than A Boxing Equipment Store

DBT Apparel isn't just about selling beginner boxing equipment.

We want to help people understand boxing before, during and after they buy their equipment.

That's why we've created our Beginner Boxing Guides and Beginner Boxing Academy.

Our aim is to take you through the fundamentals step by step, from understanding what boxing is to learning your stance, guard, punches, combinations, footwork, defence and training.

You don't need to know everything before you begin.

You just need somewhere to start.

Helping You Buy What You Actually Need

One of the biggest lessons we learned ourselves was that expensive doesn't always mean necessary.

As a beginner, you don't need to build a professional boxing gym overnight.

You need the equipment that makes sense for your current level, your training and your goals.

That's why our approach is simple:

Most stores sell everything. We help beginners buy only what they actually need.

Whether you're training at home, joining a boxing gym, getting fit, or buying boxing equipment for a child, we want to make choosing your gear easier.

Building Confidence Before You Step Into The Gym

We also understand that buying equipment isn't always the biggest barrier.

Sometimes it's confidence.

Walking into a boxing gym for the first time can feel daunting when you don't know the terminology, don't know how to stand, and aren't sure what you're supposed to be doing.

That's why our educational content is designed to help you learn the basics before you even step through the door.

You can learn at your own pace.

Practise at home.

Understand the terminology.

Learn the basic punches.

Build your confidence.

Then, when you're ready, take that knowledge into the gym.

You Don't Have To Be A Boxer To Start Boxing

You don't need to be fit.

You don't need to be strong.

You don't need to know how to punch.

And you certainly don't need to look like a professional boxer.

Everyone starts somewhere.

You might start because you want to get fitter.

You might want to learn self-discipline.

You might want a new challenge.

You might want to train from home.

Or you might simply want to find out what boxing is all about.

Whatever brought you here, that's enough.

Our Goal

Our goal with DBT Apparel is simple:

Make boxing easier to start.

Help beginners understand the equipment they need.

Help beginners learn the fundamentals.

Help beginners feel more confident.

And hopefully, help more people discover just how enjoyable boxing can be.

Because we know from our own experience that the hardest part isn't always the training.

Sometimes, it's simply taking that first step.

Welcome to DBT Apparel.

Start where you are. Learn the basics. Build your confidence. Enjoy the journey.

Boxing equipment - but more!

Starting boxing doesn't mean you need to buy a huge amount of equipment.

In fact, one of the hardest parts of starting boxing can be knowing what you actually need.

That's why DBT Apparel keeps beginner boxing equipment simple.

We help beginners find the boxing gear they need to start training, whether you're practising at home, joining a boxing gym, getting fit, or buying equipment for a child.

Boxing Equipment For Beginners

Our equipment is selected with beginners in mind.

From your first pair of boxing gloves and hand wraps to punch bags and training accessories, we aim to make choosing your equipment straightforward.

You don't need every piece of boxing equipment available.

You need the right equipment for where you are in your boxing journey.

Boxing Gloves

Your boxing gloves are one of the most important pieces of equipment you'll buy.

DBT Apparel offers beginner boxing gloves designed for training, with different sizes available for adults and children.

If you're unsure what size boxing gloves you need, our guides can help you choose the right option for your age, training and experience.

Hand Wraps

Hand wraps help provide support and protection around your hands and wrists underneath your boxing gloves.

We offer different types of boxing hand wraps, including easy-to-use options for beginners who are learning how to wrap their hands for the first time.

Punch Bags

Want to train boxing at home?

A punch bag can be a great addition to a home boxing setup.

Our beginner punch bags are designed for people who want to practise their punches, combinations and fitness from home.

You can also learn how to set up, fill and use your punch bag through our beginner boxing guides.

Boxing Training Equipment

Boxing isn't just about punching a bag.

Footwork, coordination, speed, fitness and technique all play an important part in learning boxing.

That's why our beginner boxing equipment includes practical training gear such as:

Skipping ropes
Footwork ladders
Speed balls
Hook and jab pads
Push-up equipment
Boxing training accessories
Hand protection and wraps

The aim is to help you build a simple training setup that matches your goals and experience level.

Boxing Equipment For Home Training

You don't need a professional boxing gym to start learning the basics.

With the right beginner boxing equipment, you can practise many fundamental boxing skills at home.

You can work on your:

Stance
Guard
Footwork
Punch technique
Combinations
Fitness
Coordination
Shadow boxing

Our Beginner Boxing Academy can then take you through the fundamentals step by step.

Kids Boxing Equipment

Buying boxing equipment for a child can be even more confusing.

What size gloves do they need? What equipment is suitable for beginners? What do they actually need to start training?

DBT Apparel provides kids boxing gloves and beginner boxing equipment with parents and young beginners in mind.

Our guides are also designed to help parents understand boxing equipment rather than simply choosing products without knowing what they are for.

Don't Buy What You Don't Need

This is one of the biggest differences between DBT Apparel and a typical boxing equipment store.

Most stores sell everything. We help beginners buy only what they actually need.

If you're just starting out, you don't need to spend hundreds of pounds creating a professional boxing gym.

Start with the basics.

Learn how to use them.

Build your skills.

Then add equipment as your boxing journey develops.

Learn How To Use Your Boxing Equipment

Buying boxing equipment is only the beginning.

Knowing how to use it properly is what helps you get the most from it.

That's why DBT Apparel combines beginner boxing gear with practical educational content.

Learn how to:

Choose your first boxing gloves → Wrap your hands → Set up your equipment → Throw your punches → Practise combinations → Improve your footwork → Build your training routine

Everything is designed to help make boxing easier to understand for beginners.

Start Your Boxing Journey With DBT Apparel

Whether you're looking for your first pair of boxing gloves, setting up a home boxing gym, buying kids boxing equipment, or simply trying to understand what boxing gear you need, DBT Apparel is here to help.

Buy the equipment you need. Learn how to use it. Build your skills.
