"My son had never done boxing before joining King’s. The training is excellent. The kids all seem to help each other and there is a strong team approach. His skills and confidence have grown enormously and he just enjoys it. I’m really impressed and would highly recommend it."

"My lad has been going to the club for 9 months or so and absolutely loves it. The coach teaches them meticulously, so that the techniques learned will be cemented forever. Great for fitness too, but the focus is always on the sport. A good pace of progression and the coach will only let them move on to the next stage when he is happy they are safe to do so."

"I have been attending the open gym sessions for a number of weeks now. At the age of 47, with no boxing experience, I have been, made very welcome and I have had received some great fitness and tuition. I would recommend the open sessions for anybody who is new to boxing or wants to try a new sport. Everybody is very friendly and there is a real team ethic running through the sessions."
