Kickboxing – Equipment for Training, Sparring & Competition
Kickboxing combines fast boxing combinations with powerful kicking techniques and requires technique, conditioning, speed and mobility. The right kickboxing equipment protects you during training while giving you the freedom of movement you need for punches, kicks and combinations.
At Leone Sport Switzerland, you will find LEONE1947 kickboxing equipment for beginners and experienced fighters – from boxing gloves and shin guards to mouthguards, groin protection and training accessories.
Boxing Gloves for Kickboxing
Boxing gloves are one of the most important pieces of kickboxing equipment. The right model and weight mainly depend on how you train.
Different gloves may be suitable for heavy bag work, pad training, technical drills and sparring. For sparring, sufficient padding is particularly important to protect both you and your training partner.

Under your gloves, you should wear hand wraps or suitable undergloves. They provide additional support for your hands and wrists during training.
Find suitable options in our Hand Wraps & Undergloves category.
Shin Guards for Kickboxing
Kicks are an essential part of kickboxing. Suitable shin and foot protection is therefore particularly important for partner drills and sparring.
Good shin guards should fit securely, provide sufficient protection and still allow plenty of freedom of movement.

Protective Equipment for Kickboxing
In addition to gloves and shin guards, further protective equipment may be required depending on your training.
A mouthguard and groin protection are particularly important. Depending on the type of training, age, gym or competition rules, headgear and additional protective equipment may also be required.

Kickboxing Equipment for Beginners
If you are just starting kickboxing, you do not need to buy a complete professional setup immediately. Ask your coach which equipment is used and required at your gym.
Typical beginner equipment includes:
- Boxing gloves
- Hand wraps
- Mouthguard
- Shin guards
- Groin protection
This provides a solid basic setup for many types of kickboxing training.
You can also find practical starter combinations in our Martial Arts Starter Sets.
Pad and Heavy Bag Training
Focus mitts, kick pads and heavy bags are important training tools for kickboxing. They allow you to practise punch and kick combinations while improving distance control, accuracy, speed and conditioning.
Find suitable training equipment in our Focus Mitts & Strike Pads category.
Kickboxing Competition Equipment
Depending on the federation, competitions can have specific requirements for gloves, protective equipment and clothing. Certain colours, models, markings or approvals may be mandatory.
If you compete, always check the current regulations of your federation before purchasing competition equipment.
