Boxing in East Dulwich

[Bungle]

Dear All

I know this is a long shot, but is there any sort of boxing club in the East Dulwich area or nearby that anyone knows of. By boxing, I mean a proper club with a boxing ring or two, plenty of bags to hit, trainers screaming at you to work harder, sparring - that sort of thing. I am moving to the area shortly and would be interested to know, otherwise I'll go to Gleasons at London Bridge but it would be useful if there is somewhere closer to home and maybe cheaper as well.

All help gratefully appreciated and apologies for my cretinous username. I couldn't think of anything beyond that bear from Rainbow for some reason.

Cheers!

There used to be boxing above the Half Moon Tavern in Hearne Hill. Not sure whether it's still going or not.

[bigbadwolf]

i think it still does Keef.

Yep the Half Moon. Next closest is in Loughborough Junction area I think.

Ah now that is interesting, it's only a bus ride there and back, should be a cinch to get home from there, I'll check it out. Thank-you all!

Yep the Clinton McKenzie gym in Half Moon Lane or Miguel's gym in Hardess Rd. alternatively, Skip at Dulwich Hamlet just for one-one-one.

The Half Moon used to be The Brixton And District Boys Boxing Club when I used to go there a million years ago, these days it's Clinton McKenzie gym. They do boxercise. Alternatively I'm pretty sure there is a boxing gym on the Walworth Road but I've forgotten it's name.

Yes, the Lynn Club in Camberwell and also Fisher in Bermondsey. Both top notch amateur clubs.

Clinton McKenzie's gym at the Half Moon has recently moved around the corner to Norwood Road: British Boxing Interview

Although many of the references on his own website are still to the Half Moon: Clinton McKenzie Website

Yes, this gym is now on bigger premises than the last venue above the pub. The new venue is by the junction of Norwood Rd and Tulse Hill. Clinton is a great trainer and you will certainly get in the ring, do some sparring, have plenty of bags to punch, do lots of skipping and be screamed at! If you have your own gloves I'd bring them with you as their ones are a bit sweaty (a girly comment I know). I just wish I had more time to go there regularly.

I looked at the Clinton McKenzie gym when it was above the Half Moon - it does look good. Unfortunately it cam down to a toos up between boxing and horseriding for me, so no prizes for guessing which one won....

There's a poster in my local for a new one in Forest Hill (?) called the double jab. Website under construction but has location:

Reviving this thread as middle son has (finally) expressed an interest in a sport - and it's boxing. Any current recommendations for classes for young teens? The closer the better as he would have to get himself there.

[jacks09]

I second Miguels they got me through a white collar fight! And I won!!

[threadders]

Does anyone know the rough cost of going to these boxing gyms?

[ironjawcannon]

Threaders - the cost is brain damage.

[Chunksmum]

Miguels is great, really tough training sessions and great atmosphere. Look it up, cheap too :)

Bungle, dulwich hamlet runs boxing sessions along with a wide variety of other martial arts. i went to what i thought was a boxing session once but got the days wrong and turned up to a mixed martial arts lesson. sweated like a grand national winning horse but had a great time, even when lying on my side and being pounded in my ribs with a medicine ball. you should definitely check dulwich hamlet out.
