Best Gear for 10 year old?

[ihawk07]

Ok guys I am sure you have gotten threads before like this but I am looking for some info. I have been designated with the task of researching and getting some starting boxing equipment for a 10 year old boy. From what I have found, he will be needing wraps, bag gloves, and obviously a heavy bag. I just want to start him out with the basics and as he improves get him more things (focus mits, speed bag, etc. ) I am wondering what should I get him, I have seen a lot of 50lb bags designed for youth but I was thinking a 70lb for him to grow into as he is pretty big and athletic for his age. This is what I have come up with so far....

Sounds solid. Encourage the **** out of him to keep at it. Boxing really gets people on track (most people) and its always a good thing to be fit and able to defend yourself.

Yea definately go with the heavier bag. I started out at age 12 with a 70lb. bag, and in no time was swatting it all over the place...and ended up having to get another one.

Gloves and wraps, your all set...except maybe shoes. Can just wear runners, but if he happens to take to it, then invest in a pair of boxing shoes.
