    Heya guys.
    I'm looking to take up some boxing to compliment my Martial Art's training and was wondering whether anyone knew of any good boxing gyms in the london area (preferably West London).
    All I've found from my research are ABC boxing clubs and a few good- albeit non contact clubs. Training non-contact boxing to me just doesn't make sense.

    Many thanks.
    :cool:

    Although it's more focussed on Thai boxing, Cobra Gym (near Victoria Station) offers a boxing class on Fridays:
    www.cobragym.co.uk/Timetable/tabid/56/Default.aspx

    You might find this helpful, as others there may be martial artists cross-training in boxing like you.

    (No doubt there are many more boxing-focussed gyms around too ... )

    Hey Sandy, do you know anything about Cobra Gym? The timetable seems ok and the instructors seem reputable. Just wondering if you've had any first hand experience.

    How West London are you?

    There isnt many on this side (Harrow, Ealing etc) most boxing gyms are in East or South (pronounced Saaawf) like Paragon or Peacocks.

    Try looking into your local college or Universities. However there is Minotaurs Muay Thai in Burnt Oak and Watford which may do Boxing programmes as well. I'm pretty sure there is something in Uxbridge as well but I cant seem to find the place anymore.

    Hi. I'm Near Heathrow airport, so pretty west london. I've had a look at Paragon, but the place seems rather expensive for, what I would use as supplemental training. I'll have a look at the others though. Thanks for the info.:cool:
