When I first stepped into martial arts, I was overwhelmed by the amount of equipment — gloves, pads, wraps, headguards, and more. It wasn’t clear which ones were truly necessary and which were optional.

Gloves shouldn’t feel like boards after a short time. What worked for me was switching to fight supplies because the padding stayed soft but still protective. That comfort let me train longer without sore knuckles or avoiding the bag out of frustration.
