We are a non-profit boxing gym located in the heart of Chinatown in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. We’re a community-focused club with the desire to create a safe and inspiring space in our community. We work with amateur, and recreational athletes, with a special focus on youth, women, and the 2SLGBTQI+ community.
Our Community Programs
Eastside Youths
Age 13-19
Providing free after-school boxing for youth 13–19. Classes teach boxing fundamentals, footwork, and fitness with fun, engaging activities. The program helps youth stay active, build confidence, and use exercise as a positive outlet for stress while developing strong relationships with peers, mentors, and coaches.
Eastside Juniors
Age 7-12
Coming back this October after a successful summer camp! Our 7–12 program introduces young boxers to the fundamentals of boxing, footwork, and fitness through fun, engaging games and activities. Sessions will also feature peer coaches from VFRS and our junior and competitive teams.
Frontline Fight Club
Frontline Fight Club, in partnership with MRT, provides free boxing classes for frontline workers aimed at bringing together those impacted by the province’s overdose crisis. By working through job-related stress in the boxing gym, frontline workers can take better care of themselves and the communities they serve.
OUR CLASSES
Development classes
Classes range from basic punches, footwork, and classic conditioning to locking in the fundamentals and building on your technique, mobility, speed and stamina. We’ll hit the bag, pads, and maybe even your partner.
Women and Gender Diverse
While we always strive to provide a safe and welcoming space for our participants, we understand that a boxing gym may be an intimidating space for some. Our women’s only beginner-level class includes the basic elements of footwork, technique, punches, and conditioning. All female-identifying folk are welcome.
Competitive training
Fighter Training is a rigorous class for competitive boxers only, all athletes attending this class must be assessed before participating.
This class includes sparring, after the trial process all participants require a valid medical and must be registered with Boxing BC.
