I'm looking for something that avoids the sort of toxic gym bro stuff that a lot of exercise content has.

I think https://www.youtube.com/@Tony_Jeffries is a fantastic resource. IDK if you have access to a heavy bag in your burrow but if not I'm sure you can adapt this to footwork and shadow boxing. You can certainly hurt your wrist or all the little bones in your hands if you aren't mindful. I wouldn't ever strike something without wrapping your hands in fact; if you were wearing gloves but no wraps I'd be way more concerned about you hurting yourself than the other way around.

My pleasure! I also meant to share 5 Boxing Combos every beginner NEEDS to learn (with or without a punching bag) but it took me a minute to find it. That channel also has a couple videos on workouts you can do without equipment, I haven't watched them but I assume they're reliable.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
