Club Rules: 
  • For your first session, Club subs are due on the day of the session and must be paid in cash before training. If you'd like to join RABC after your 1st session, annual fee and subs are to be paid online via GoCardless.  In the case of any payment problems please speak with a coach before the session.
  • All boxers MUST arrive 15 minutes before class starts to their wrap hands and warm up before the session.
  • On joining RABC, boxers will train towards competing under England Boxing rules. They will be expected to spar with other competitive amateur boxers when deemed competent and once registered and medicalled. Experienced boxers will be permitted to spar on completion of their transfer application.
  • Boxers wishing to transfer to RABC are encouraged to talk through their reasons for wanting to do so with their current club before approaching us.

We understand that everyone may not be able to attend every session but require commitment and discipline in training. The gym can only accommodate a certain number of boxers. Earn your space.
  • A RABC carded boxer is not permitted to train/spar at another boxing club without first notifying the head coach and gaining written permission to do so. Where possible, an RABC coach will accompany the boxer.
