Training

At GUBC, we offer a variety of training sessions to cater to different aspects of boxing. Our training program includes the following:

  • BoxFit is a fitness-focused session that combines circuits, bodyweight exercises, weighted training, skipping, pad work, and ladder drills. These sessions are designed to improve overall fitness and stamina.
  • Technique sessions are dedicated to enhancing and refining your boxing skills. We focus on footwork, combinations, defence, and improving overall technique.
  • Sparring sessions: Experience the thrill of the ring and put your skills to the test in our sparring sessions. These sessions provide invaluable practice and help you improve your performance inside the ropes.

Insurance

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate insurance cover for any activity you take part in.  Upon joining, please check the level of insurance cover we, as a club, provide to you.  

GUSA recommends that all students playing high risk sport, go abroad to compete/train, or are playing in governing body leagues, may want to consider/need to take out personal liability insurance, or join the sports governing body to be covered.  Some insurance providers also offer specialist sports cover.
