Hey all, I'm in the midst of finding myself a good boxing gym, but for now, I'm working on my basics and techniques with available equipment from my school (UCLA) gym.

Equipment includes: heavy bag, medicine balls, ab benches, resistance bands, weights, water-filled standing heavy bags.

I'm 21 and starting my 4th year of college, I've never thought about boxing seriously; so my workouts are basically weight lifting centered supplemented with boxing for cardio.

It seems however my interest has been increasing exponentially for the past 2 months and has yet to plateau. Once I find a good gym I'll see where it takes me Smile.



-In any case, I've been using these ( http://www.boxingdepot.com/bx-bg-14.html ) everlast leather heavy bag gloves. they're getting a little old (from a couple of years muay thai use back in high school); so even with wraps my knuckles are still tearing up a little bit.

-I ran out and bought these for my heavy bag training: http://store.everlastboxing.co.....loves.html
in case I would need gloves that I can hit the bag AND spar with.



-Shoudl I have gotten dedicated bag gloves?

-If anyone knows a good online source to get quality equipment @ good prices (I just ran out to my local sports authority); I'd really appreciate it.

-Thanks so much everyone.
