Boxing School India

We started Boxing School India right here in Kandivali West. It is not one of those air-conditioned gyms you see in malls. It is a bit raw and can get quite hot in the afternoons, especially when everyone is training hard together. We have the basics like bags, some old gloves, and a ring that has seen a lot of action over the years. The floor is a bit worn out in places from all the footwork. Most of the guys and girls who come here are from around the neighborhood. They show up after school or work to get some rounds in and blow off steam. We don't have a fancy reception desk or a salesperson in a suit. Usually, one of us is just finishing a session and will talk to you if you walk in. The sound of the jump ropes hitting the floor and the heavy bags getting hit is what you hear all day. Sometimes the music is too loud, but it helps everyone keep moving when they are tired. We spend a lot of time cleaning the mats and making sure the gear is somewhat organized, though it never stays that way for long with so many people. It is a simple setup for people who actually want to learn how to box and don't mind a bit of sweat and hard work. Kandivali can be crowded and noisy, but our corner is where we focus on the sport. We are just a group of people who like the sport and decided to teach others.
