KNOCKOUT is a non-profit boxing club for all members of the LGTBQ+ community and our allies, and our classes are open to all abilities and fitness levels.
We currently train:
- Monday nights in Covent Garden (with the last Monday of the month set aside for an all-FLINTA session).
- Wednesday and Thursday evening & Saturday mornings in Finsbury Park.
- Tuesday evenings in Hackney Wick.
In class, we only use boxing bags or partner up with boxing pads, so no actual fighting is involved. We do offer sparring for those interested but it is never mandatory. Although we concentrate on boxing techniques, our classes are also great if you want to learn the sweet science just for fitness and fun.
You don't need any boxing equipment but we will only provide boxing wraps for your first class. It is mandatory to have your own after this.
We’re a friendly bunch and after class, we like to head out to a nearby pub or café for an opportunity to socialise. Additionally, we regularly organise other social events for our club members such as movie nights, picnics, exhibitions and more.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about the class, the club, or LGBTQ+ boxing in the UK. We’d love for you to join!
