Boxing in ’s-Gravendeel
There is a boxing ring in the dojo, with eleven bags and two water bags around it. Nine martial arts classes run each week, from technique work to an hour on the bag. You do not need to have boxed before.
Why the ring matters
Half of boxing is footwork. A ring is where you learn it: moving, holding distance, cutting angles. A mat beside the weights machines will not teach you that.
There are eleven bags and two water bags, so you are never waiting for one to come free. How much contact you want is entirely your call. Spend the whole class on the bag and nobody minds.
Eight classes a week

Never boxed before? Good
You need no experience and there is nothing to sign up for. Walk in, join the class, and the instructor watches your technique as you go. Most people in that room started exactly the same way.
For your first session you only need sports kit and clean indoor shoes. We lend you gloves, so there is nothing to buy before you find out whether you like it.
Martial arts are included in every membership, like all the other group classes. Nothing extra to pay and nothing to book. Check the schedule for a time that suits.
Come and join a class
Your first visit is free and needs no appointment. Turn up while a class is on, watch a few minutes, and join in if you fancy it.
