 INTRODUCTION
Our gym has consistently been producing
Schoolboy, National and International Amateur Champions
up to Olympic level. It has also trained
and produced World Rated professional boxers of the
calibre of Spencer "The Omen" Oliver (who
is now regularly on the Sky Sports Panel offering expert
analysis and commentary on all the major fights from
around the world) and ex-British Champion Sean Murphy
who challenged Steve Robinson for the World Featherweight
Title (who is famously remembered for being dethroned
by "Prince" Naseem Hamed for the WBO World
Title).
The website is also intended for other
Amateur Boxing Clubs to regularly check on our "carded"
boxers to help them with their bout matching. This web
site will be updated on a daily basis with this in
mind.
There is a lot more to boxing than blood
and guts, unruly behaviour and the sensationalised injuries
unfairly portrayed in the TV and Press. Underneath boxing's ugly perception lies the pursuit
of ultimate physical fitness, athletic grace and valuable
self defence for men and increasingly now also women.
There are several types of boxing nowadays (eg. Muay
Thai or Kickboxing) but this site is predominantly focused
on normal boxing, of which there are two types - Professional
and Amateur. This web site is dedicated to and focused
on Amateur Boxing in the UK, which is regulated by the
Amateur Boxing Association or ABA.
Amateur boxing allows you to explore the sport as a
means of confidence building coupled with a practical
method of defending yourself. Boxing is a great way
to get into the best shape of your life as it is one
of the toughest, yet also most rewarding sports that
requires a fitness level and conditioning that no other
sport can match.
Even if you never step into a ring, practicing
the fundamentals of boxing can give you an excellent
full body workout that is guaranteed to get your legs
and arms moving and your heart pumping. So if you are
looking for great way to workout then you need to come
and checkout our gym.
Our feeling about boxing is very simple. We believe
that everyone needs the self confidence
that comes from knowing how to defend oneself. Boxing
we believe is still the "daddy" of self defense
and despite all the new trendy martial arts clubs popping
up everywhere it is still in the hearts and souls of
many British people.
