A: We offer training for people who wish to compete in the England Amateur Association. In addition to this we hold many interclub and white-collar events (Boxing/Muay Thai) for individuals who wish to compete without having to commit to the regulations required by England Boxing. If you think you are at the level for our carded classes, you will need to do a beginner/intermediate session so that our trainers can assess you. Please let them know at the start of the class that this is your goal.
