You want to start boxing and are wondering what really belongs in your sports bag? Here's the honest answer - compact, practical and without unnecessary frills. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced boxer, you'll be perfectly prepared with this list.
1. Boxing gloves - your most important tool
No training without gloves. Make sure you use the right weight, depending on your body weight and training goal.
You need more padding for sparring and lighter models for technical training.
Tip: The Venum Training Camp 4.0 gloves are robust, comfortable and a real bestseller.
2. Bandages for stability and protection
Bandages are not an accessory, but a must. They support your wrists and protect your ankles from overloading.
Ideal are 3.5 metres for women and teenagers, 4.5 metres for men with larger hands.
Recommendation: Leone bandages in various lengths and colours.
3. Mouthguard for safe training
A well-fitting mouthguard is essential. It not only protects your teeth, but also your jaw and brain in the event of blows.
Make sure they fit correctly and are easy to adjust by heating them in a water bath.
For children: Leone Junior mouthguard
For adults: SafeJawzModels with a stylish design
4. Shower gel or solid soap
Hygiene is a must after training. Your skin has been in contact with mats, bandages, gloves and a lot of sweat.
Use antibacterial products to prevent skin irritation and odours.
Popular with martial artists: Vivi Soaps Activated charcoal soapWith mint and tea tree oil - clarifies the skin and smells pleasantly fresh.
5. Don't forget your water bottle
Dehydration reduces your performance and increases the risk of injury. Pack a sturdy and leak-proof water bottle.
Preferably not disposable plastic - but a reusable bottle made of stainless steel or BPA-free plastic.
6. Snack or protein bar
Your body needs nutrients straight after training. A protein bar or shake ensures better regeneration and supports muscle building.
This is a real game changer, especially after hard sessions.
Recommendation: Gods Rage Viking Whey - High protein content, good solubility and different flavours. For optimum protein supply after training.
7. Odour remover for your equipment
Sweat, bacteria and closed pockets quickly lead to unpleasant odours.
Use a special spray for gloves or a dryer to keep your equipment fresh and durable for longer.
It is often forgotten - but it is extremely important.
Our recommendation: Venum Deodoriser
Conclusion
Your boxing bag is not just a bag. It is your mobile toolbox.
Pack them properly and you can concentrate fully on your performance during training. You'll find everything you need for this in our Vikingstore - online or directly in the shops Branches in Berne and St. Gallen.
