Whether it’s your first day or you’re gearing up for sparring — here’s exactly what you need at every stage, no guesswork.
Your first session
We lend you gloves and shin guards for free on your first visit.
After your first month
Available at the gym or from our partner store Shogun Martial Arts.
When you start contact work
Your coach will let you know when you’re ready for sparring gear.
These four items are the foundation of your Muay Thai kit. Invest in quality and they’ll last you years.
Protects your hands and your training partner. 16oz is the standard weight for training — it offers the right balance of padding and wrist support.
Wraps stabilise your wrists and protect the small bones in your hands. You should wear them every session — even on the bag.
Shin-to-shin contact hurts. Guards protect both you and your partner during drills and sparring.
Protects your teeth and jaw during partner drills and sparring. Non-negotiable once you start contact work.
Once you’ve got the basics, these extras will enhance your training as you progress.
Traditional Muay Thai shorts have a wide leg opening so you can kick freely. They also look the part.
Lightweight ankle wraps add stability and protect against minor sprains during pivots and kicks.
Essential for sparring. Accidents happen — a groin guard is cheap insurance.
Used during clinch sparring and elbow drills to protect both you and your partner.
No — just bring water, a towel, and comfortable clothing. We have gloves and shin guards you can borrow for free.
16oz for training is the standard. If you’re under 55kg, 14oz may be more comfortable. For competition, check with your coach on the required weight.
Yes — we stock essentials at the gym. For premium gear, we recommend our partner store Shogun Martial Arts.
A solid starter kit (gloves, wraps, shin guards, mouth guard) runs between $150–$300 depending on brand and quality. Quality gear lasts years.
We partner with Shogun Martial Arts. Their gear is made for Muay Thai, high quality, and competitively priced. Fairtex, Twins, and Yokkao are also solid choices.
Don’t worry about gear on day one — just show up. Your first session is free and we’ll lend you everything you need.
