Katchum said: My lads shorts are 100+ quid a pair Gloves are anywhere between 20 and skys your limit but my lad likes to use his own gloves for everything but then if he bouts he needs to use the aba approved ones I think an they are adidas ones, think they cheaper about 50/70 so he intends to get them fkr his next pair so, but it can get pricey buying the kit fkr boxing an I got 3 lads at it now, can’t imagine kick boxing any cheaper, best of luck to your lad, keep him at it, no matter how much iv spent or how many hours iv spent taking them trains or going to bouts or supporting there pals, I still wouldn’t change it, you’ll prob end uk at with him, I had to start getting fit a few years back to keep up with mine It’s not cheaper mate, par expensive Edited to add: if they are into Judo, I might be able to help them along Edited March 17, 2022 by mushroom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,569 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 If your using it though , you better off not buying cheap , to buy twice , proper branded gear costs , the likes of yokkoa are a bit above twins and sandee but at the level I’m at , does it matter ? not greatly , but a lot of gyns are good about having your own . there’s nothing worse than having someone’s else’s gloves on etc , you don’t need to go full on after a week , but if your doing something it’s an investment , get the best stuff you can afford . Venum stuff is good but I think it’s gone up in price as they’ve taken over the ufc gear deal , ringhorn gloves are decent for the price … 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
