NON-CONTACT TRAINING –  We focus on fitness, technique, flexibility and co-ordination.  Initially you’ll use focus pads and punch-bags for practice, with no sparring.

CONTACT SPARRING – More experienced chessboxers and anyone who wants to train for competitive action has the option to move on to full-contact sparring via  light-sparring under the strict guidance of experienced coaches.

CHESS – Play or enjoy some tactics training during  several three-to-five minute recovery periods during the class.  Think you can’t play chess? We guarantee to change your mind!

Cost: £5 per session.  Under-17s  £3 per session or £10 per month.

Training supervised by qualified coaching staff.
