Practicing western boxing is fun. And you can do a lot without a couch or gym. Plus it rocks your shoulders, back and arms.

Wraps, a stand-alone heavy bag, and some gloves and a timer are what I use. There are lots of good stuff on the youtube to learn about the four basic punches, stance, etc.

It doesn't develop legs, though. I do some other stuff for legs like jump rope, squats, lunges et cetera.

If you really want to spar get to a coach and get the rest of the safety gear.
