The best brands for beginners in boxing and kickboxing
You are about to start boxing or kickboxing. Exciting! But how do you know what equipment you need, and which brands are suitable for your first steps in the ring? At Fightstyle we have made a selection of the best brands especially for beginners. Whether you are looking for boxing gloves, shin guards or a mouth guard: with brands such as Everlast , Booster, Adidas and Super Pro you are always in good hands. In this blog we will take you through the options and help you make the right choices.
Boxing gloves for beginners: Protection and comfort in one
To start boxing or kickboxing, good boxing gloves are essential. They protect your knuckles and wrists from injuries and give you a firm grip during training. Beginners often make the mistake of buying cheap, non-branded gloves, but these often do not offer sufficient protection. Invest in quality and you will immediately notice the difference, both in terms of comfort and safety.
For beginners, Everlast , Booster and Adidas are excellent choices. Everlast offers gloves that are comfortable and easy on the wallet. Choose the basic models that are specifically aimed at beginners. Booster combines style with functionality. Their gloves are made of high-quality PU leather and are long-lasting. Adidas gloves are known for their tight fit and breathable materials, ideal for keeping your hands dry during intense workouts.
Shin guards: Safety first in kickboxing
Shin guards are an essential piece of kit when you start kickboxing. They prevent injuries and make it easier to learn new techniques without having to worry about sore shins. A good shin guard is just as important as your gloves: it not only protects you, but also your training partner.
Brands like Booster and Super Pro make excellent shin guards for beginners. Booster uses sturdy, shock-absorbing padding and a durable PU leather outer layer. Super Pro offers guards that are lightweight and flexible, allowing you to move easily while still protecting your shins.
Handwraps: Small, but essential for every boxer
Handwraps are often the most underrated piece of equipment. Yet, they play a crucial role in your training. They provide extra support for your wrists and knuckles, which is especially important for beginners. They also help to absorb sweat, which makes your gloves last longer. After all, you don’t want your gloves to smell quickly!
Adidas and Super Pro offer high-quality handwraps at an affordable price. They are made of a mix of cotton and elastic, making them sturdy and comfortable. They not only prevent injuries, but also ensure that you can train with more confidence.
Mouthguards: Protect your smile, one blow at a time
A good mouthguard is an absolute must, even as a beginner. It protects your teeth and gums from hard knocks or kicks and prevents nasty injuries. It may seem like a small detail, but a good mouthguard can make a big difference in your safety and comfort.
Safejawz offers excellent mouthguards that are easy to adjust. You can adjust them up to three times, which means you can make them fit your teeth perfectly. They are affordable and easy to use, and ensure that you step into the ring with peace of mind.
Why invest in quality gear?
As a beginner, it can be tempting to opt for cheaper alternatives. But the right gear is an investment in your safety and comfort. Quality products will last longer, offer better protection, and make your workouts more enjoyable. Brands like Everlast, Booster, Adidas, and Super Pro are reliable choices, designed specifically to support beginners on their journey to success.

Starting out with boxing or kickboxing can be daunting, but by finding the right gear you will find yourself feeling a little more comfortable. So here are a few tips for choosing the right gear!
