New to boxing? Start here

Nearly everyone started with no experience at all. Boxing is coached in our Tuesday kick boxing and Wednesday MMA classes, both at 6pm in Waterloo, and your first class is free. After that it is £8 a session, £6 for 13 to 16 year olds, or it is included in membership. You do not need to be fit first. That is what the class is for.

What an hour looks like

Warm up and skipping, then shadow boxing while the coach fixes your stance and guard
One or two techniques taught properly, then drilled on the pads with a partner
Rounds on the bags, working what you have just been shown
Conditioning to finish, scaled to whoever is in the room
Sparring is optional and never on your first night. Nobody gets thrown in

Who coaches it

Boxing is coached by Joe Champion, who has been training and coaching striking for over twenty years. You get corrected properly and you get told when you have done it right. Meet the rest of the team on the coaches page.

What to bring

For your first class, trainers, shorts or joggers, a t-shirt and a bottle of water. That is it. If you decide to keep coming you will want your own wraps and gloves, and the coaches will tell you what to buy before you waste money on the wrong thing.
