Hi everyone. I am currently working on a character who relies on physical training and close-combat discipline, and I want to understand certain details better so the character feels more believable. Because of that, I recently started doing some basic training myself, mostly to get a sense of how movement, balance, and footwork actually work in practice. Now I am trying to choose some beginner boxing equipment, but there are many types of gloves, shoes, and wraps, and it is difficult to understand what is useful for someone at the starting level. If anyone here has experience with this kind of real-world training or has tried similar gear, I would really appreciate any guidance. Even general advice would help me shape the character more accurately.

Hi, good to see you here. I will try to help with this, since I have looked into similar gear while working on my own training routine.

Since you mentioned beginner gear, one thing you can look into is how different gloves feel during longer sessions. Some options in the sting boxing range are known for having simple padding and stable wrist support, which can help when you are still learning proper technique. It is usually best to focus on comfort, fit, and how well the gloves keep your hands steady, especially if you plan to train regularly. If you need, I can point out a few details that make the choice easier.
