    I already wrote this in a thread, but I might get more luck here:


    Hi. I'm an eighteen year old from Lucan and I was looking for any tips on how to get started in boxing.
    I'm a complete novice, so no massive ambitions. I was looking for a good beginners club to join. I'm a big guy at six foot, I'm a bit overweight at around 210lbs. Thats Heavy weight right? I'm pretty bulky already from playing Rugby so I can deal with getting slapped around.
    I want to know what kind of shape I'd have to get into, I don't want to waste a trainers time by having to get into shape first so is there any sort of fitness regime I should look into? As I said I'm a bit overweight but not massively so nothing too dramatic. I think you get what I'm trying to say. I want to get fit and turn a Rugby players body into a boxer. So any tips, or advice and particularly a good club would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!




    *I meant to say. When I say novice, I mean I've never taken part in boxing. But I know a decent amount about the sport as a whole. Styles, fighters, history etc.
    And I've watched the Rocky movies like any self-respecting human being. Despite their total lack of realism.;)


    So yeah. Anyone have any advice?

    I'm 18 and have been doing a mixed bunch of martial arts since july but i wanna shift my focus entirely on boxing. I'm willing to compete and was wondering what gyms in Blanchardstown would take on someone like me?
    I tried ringing St.Bridgids in Mulhuddart but the number must be out of use or something.

    Would appreciate some reply, thanks lads.

  • Registered Users Posts: 618 ✭✭✭CrazySka


    Would love to Start boxing but am 30 and have never swung a punch!

    The above, Celtic Warriors Gym in Corduff is a good wee spot. Boxercise classes are on a Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm, great way to get involved.

    Paschal Collins had another 2 winners on Saturday night, Stephen Ormond and Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan.

    Does anyone know anything about the boxfit classes in Ballinteer, I spotted a sign for it the last day.

    I'd be a complete beginner, would like to give it a try as i think it would be great training for the winter.

    Was thinking about taking up boxing and im 17 and was wondering is it too late for me to take it up and also is there any good boxing clubs around the D24 area for beginners?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 jms84


    Hi guys to to let y'all know and to try and get some feed back from you all! I am opening an event center possible somewhere along the long mile road area it will have studio facilitates for fitness and dance, It will also have a main hall that could be used for boxing matches or events or even big training sessions. It wont quit be city west :-) but would suit more low budget events. I would like to work with people on events to make them happen. Is there much call for this kind of thing ?

    Thanks.

    Hi All,

    I am 37, never boxed, but experienced in taekwondo (Black belt) and other martial arts. I do plenty of boot camp/circuit style classes. I was thinking of taking up boxing. I think I would enjoy the up close sparring style and it would improve my feet (which are a bit heavy in sparring). I am sure my conditioning and fitness would benefit as well. I am based in Dublin mid week, up around santry. Any suggestions for a club? Am I mad to consider it? Any advise out there.

    Cheers,

    Mark

    Hi folks,

    I arrived Dublin 4 months ago. I'm a Spanish guy aged 26 who has been boxing since 3/4 years ago and I'm really looking forward to keep training, I need it! I have never been in competitions before, mostly I'm interested in training and perhaps some sparring.

    Since I arrived, I've been looking for a boxing gym around the zone I'm living in (close to Connolly station, city centre). I'm currently in contact with the Smithfield's boxing club. At the same time, I know there is (or was) a boxing club in Seville Place Street, but haven't been able to contact anybody there. Could anybody help me to find a decent boxing club that meets my requirements and could be interested on my profile?

    Thanks.
