Tanner Lane Boxing Club (sample) teaches boxing and kickboxing to adults. Most members walked in without ever having worn a glove.
The club opened in 2014 (sample) with one ring and six bags in the old tannery on Tanner Lane. Today five coaches run thirty classes a week.
We teach boxing the way it is taught to amateurs: stance, guard and the jab before anything else. Sparring is never compulsory, and nobody spars until a coach has watched them for weeks.
Six rules that keep the club safe and friendly. Coaches will remind you.
Every time, even for bag work. Ask a coach if you are not sure how.
No sparring in open gym, and only with a coach at ringside.
When the round ends, stop. Rest when the timer says rest.
Wipe the borrowed gloves and spray your mat area after class.
Hit pads and bags hard, people lightly. Help the newer members.
Before class, not after. The coach will change the drill for you.
One long training room in a converted tannery, with high windows and a sprung floor.
