What to Bring to Your First Session
For your very first class, you don't need to arrive with a full kit. Bring:
- Training clothes (shorts and a t-shirt or rash guard)
- Sports shoes
- Water bottle
- Hand wraps (if you have them — you can get these online before you arrive)
Boxing gloves are available to use in your first session. Most members buy their own gear within the first week or two.
The Gear You'll Need
Week 1: The Basics
- Hand Wraps — Essential. First thing on every session. The Killa Elite Pro Hand Wraps are 4.5 metres of machine-washable cotton.
- Training Gloves — Your most important investment. 12oz for fighters under 75kg, 14oz for those above. Full-grain cowhide leather with dual-layer foam.
- Boxing Backpack 35L — A gym bag that actually fits all your kit. Ventilated base to keep wet gear separate.
When You're Ready to Spar
- 16oz Sparring Gloves — Once your coach clears you for contact rounds, upgrade to dedicated sparring gloves. Browse the Killa boxing gloves range for 16oz options.
- Head Guard — Open face for experienced fighters. Closed guard for maximum protection and beginners. Both built from genuine leather with high-density foam.

- Real training partners: Pad work, sparring, and technical drilling happens with other fighters. Your development accelerates when you train with serious people.
