FOR EVERYONE –  You don’t have to be good at chess or boxing to join in.  The first challenge is just to give it a try.  Under the guidance of our experienced coaches you’ll be surprised at how quickly you progress.

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.

SERIOUS BOXER?  UK’s number one professional trainer Joe Ryan will help you raise your game. See Joe in action .

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!

STRONG PLAYER?  Coaching up to Grand Master level available.
