What is boxing?

The sweet science

Boxing is a combat sport built on punches only: no kicks, knees or grappling. Its roots go back to ancient Greece, where it became an Olympic event in 688 BC, and modern boxing grew up in Britain.

In class you’ll work on stance, footwork, punching technique and defence, mostly on pads and bags, with rounds that build real fitness.

Boxing is also a core part of MMA, so many members train it alongside MMA, Muay Thai or BJJ.

Boxing FAQs

Boxing questions

The questions people ask most before their first class. Anything else, just get in touch.

Do I need experience to start boxing?

No. Beginners start with stance, footwork and basic punches on the pads, and build from there.

Will I have to spar?

Not at first. You’ll learn on pads and bags, and sparring only comes in once you’ve built the skills for it.

Is boxing a good workout?

Yes. Rounds of pad work, bag work and conditioning build stamina, coordination and strength.

What’s the difference between boxing and Muay Thai?

Boxing uses punches only. Muay Thai adds kicks, knees and elbows, which is why it’s called the art of eight limbs.

How much do boxing classes cost?

Prices are available on request and depend on which classes you want and how often you train. Book a free tour and consultation and we’ll talk you through the options.
