HANDWRAPS - Handwraps help protect the bones and tendons in your hands. In addition, they will help support your wrist and thumb. To help prevent injuries, always wrap your hands before working out.
HEADGEAR – Headgears are used for Amateur fights. The headgear absorbs blows to the head, particularly the sensitive ears, meaning the equipment takes more of the beating and the athlete less. Headgear is constructed of absorbent plastic foam, with a soft covering often made from plastics such as vinyl, or from leather.
MOUTHGUARDS - The mouthguard (also referred to as mouthpieces or gumshields) is made of a form-fitted piece of plastic and must be worn at all times by boxers. Mouthguards can help prevent tooth loss and gum lacerations, and in some cases, can reduce the likelihood of concussions. A mouthguard is a device which fits into the mouth over one or both arches of teeth to protect against injury while playing contact sports, particularly boxing.
PROTECTIVE CUP – Protective cup is a combination of padded jock and cup. It is a layered foam padding that protects the groin, kidneys and abdomen.

It has a hook and loop closure for convenience and adjustability with inverted hips for unrestricted movement.

DOUBLE-END BAG - Double-end bags are light, round bags, often anchored to floor and ceiling with elastic or semi-elastic materials. Such bags are often used to practice mobility and accuracy on a moving target
MAIZE BAG - Maize bags are not punched with great force but are used in boxing training to improve the athlete's head motion and ability to evade an opponent's punch, their name deriving from the fact that traditionally they are filled with maize.
SPEED BAG - Speed bags are small, air-filled bags anchored at the top to a rebound platform parallel to the ground. Speed bags help a fighter learn to keep his hands up, as well as improve speed and hand-eye coordination.
