Boxing at SFU?

edited October 2011 in General
Is there any boxing rec-classes or clubs offered at SFU?  I mean...Harvard has it, shouldn't we? :P

And I don't mean like kickboxing or fencing, though those are equally badass.

  • i train ufc
  • Umm not really the same thing.
  • it would be awesome if SFU had one.
  • does someone want to start one
  • lets start a fight club
  • how many people are interested? we can make register a club but it takes 15 people at least.
  •  we'd probably have to go to a boxing gym.
  • btw i like the initiative!  we could get 15 people
  • Doesn't sound like the worst idea.  here's some gyms

    good enough way to stay in shape and take out some class frustration

  • I'm thinking more of a student-run club without any coaches since that will cost money.  We can do light sparring, real sparring with a supervisor (club member), and hand pad drills all taking place in campus. We probably won't have heavy bags, however.We can all learn boxing fundamentals and experiences from each other and hopefully create a fun and competitive boxing scene in SFU.
  • they have punching bags and all the equipment you could possibly need down in the gym area.. talk to them!
  • Really?  Interesting...this could work.
  • Lets keep count on who is interested...just add yourself to the count

    Total : 1

  • make it 2 my good man, I could use some bulking up and maybe some fighting skills haha.
  • Hey........we have SFU Grappling Club. I personally train at Arnis and Tae Kwon Do - in both we do boxing because the trainers are awesome and like to do different stuff. 

    You are welcome with anyone interested to start strictly an SFU Boxing Club or a SFU MMA/UFC club.

    They have a bunch of equipment at the Education Building Gym.
  • awesome.  we just need more people now...
  • So what you're saying is that there are already people boxing?  I think a strictly boxing club would be great.  What kind of boxing gear do they have there?  I found a few sites that have helpful tips for training and stuff, but I don't really know a whole lot about boxing outside of watching it haha
  • I have boxing experience and I know the fundamentals and techniques so I can help out beginners.  All we really need to make this work is enough hand pads and boxing gloves.  Heavy bags would be great as well.  For sparring, mouth guard and a headgear. Oh yes, and we'll need people...
  • bunch of tough guy wannabes up in here
  • ya i bet i can whoop your ass tapout

    better watch out cuz i train ufc as well
  • Yeah I have some basic experience as well. I would love to see this take off.
  • Yeah that would be awesome.  And its not about being tough, most people take it for the fun of the sport and the workout.  I don't have much respect for people who thinks its about beating people up and being a "tough guy"  These are the same people who are against wearing protective gear--headgear and mouthpiece, for example--in sparring.  Remember that your health is the highest priority.  Hopefully this will be a controlled environment where people respect each other and grow as a team.    
  • Exactly ^, With all these papers and midterms, we can't be losing any brain cells!  :)

    It's good to hear somebody has experience, I've never really boxed before but a quick google search found this.  


    I'm just hoping to have some fun and get in shape haha
  • We have a saying back home that if you're coming on,

    COME ON!
