A little bit about us

|
We are an Amateur Boxing Club situated in Brighton, East Sussex.
We're members of the Amateur Boxing Association of England (ABAe) .All the coaching staff and committee members in this club are CRB checked. We operate child safety policies and have our own child protection officer.
We hope you enjoy training with us.
We endeavour through the Olympic sport of Amateur boxing to promote fitness, discipline, friendship, fair play, respect and confidence. Increasing quality of life by providing a constructive alternative to anti social behaviour such as drugs & alcohol abuse, for the local youth living in disadvantaged areas. Provide positive role models and social inclusion from interaction with our coaching staff and other young boxers.
Welcome to the most exciting sports experience you've ever encountered! Boxing is without a doubt the most rewarding and challenging sport available to youth today. The combination of athleticism, physical and mental conditioning, sportsmanship, and self worth that you will develop from boxing are unequalled in any other sport. Boxing will teach you to rely on yourself, to value the input of others, and most importantly to respect both your own skills and those of others. You will develop a level of self confidence that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. You will also find that this is one of the most challenging things that you will ever do. So, if you are looking for a challenging, mentally stimulating, physically demanding and just plain fun activity, then you found it ... BOXING!
Code of Conduct
The behavior of our boxers both in and outside of the gym directly reflects on this club and the people involved with it, both boxer and coach. It is imperative that everyone involved with this program represents us in a positive manner. We expect our people to set the hallmark in sportsmanship, conduct and overall behavior for all the other clubs involved in boxing.
Here are a few rules and guidelines:
1. Respect the gym. Leave things as you found them. This includes not taking things that aren't yours.
2. Respect other people. Don't mess with other people's things. Don't interfere with their workout. Don't be a pest.
3. There will be no sparring without headgear, mouthpiece, and supervision.
4. No foul language.
5. When you are here WORK OUT. The gym is not a playground.
6. If you see something out of place PICK IT UP,
7. Remember that the people running the gym are volunteers. They don't have to be here. Try to do what you can to make their job easier.
8. You know the difference between right and wrong DO WHAT'S RIGHT! (if you don't know the difference, ask the coach)
Before you do anything, ask yourself this question:
Will what I'm about to do make the gym look good?
STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS AND OTHER THINGS THAT WILL GET YOU IN TROUBLE! Boxing needs you. Stay strong and be smart enough to recognize things that will affect your training.

All amateur boxers must be registered with the ABA of E. The ABA of E is the organization responsible for all of the rules and sanctions for all amateur boxing in the country.

Why Box?
When this sport is properly coached and supervised; amateur boxing can be an extremely fulfilling and a valuable experience for today's youth. It should be used as a vehicle to instruct sportsmanship, values of conditioning a positive release of frustrations and energy, as well as building self
confidence and character.
Amateur boxing can also provide an excellent means of conditioning for the school athlete during the off season. It is the ideal sport for youngsters who are not involved in a school sports program or aren't attracted to team sports.
Amateur boxing can also give a young athlete the opportunity to satisfy that basic human need of recognition in a positive manner. All too often this need is met through delinquent behavior.
A Note to Parents
Most people have a general impression that boxing, both amateur and professional, are very rough and somewhat brutal sports. If they are Improperly coached, supervised, and equipped, then this generality can be true. It is the express goal of this boxing club to teach youngsters all the fundamentals of boxing, both offense and defense, in such a manner that makes it a totally safe and a fun experience for every participant.
We might also point out to parents that this program is run strictly by volunteers. This usually means that there is always room for more help. If you would like to help in any manner, please contact our club head coach Brian Harvey.
We have tried to cover the most frequently asked questions, but if you have other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask one of our coaches.
