Training
Pads with a coach, a class with a bag each, a beginners' course, twelve weeks to a charity bout, kids' sessions and team workouts. Each has its own page with the price and what happens; the first round of any of them is free.
Forty-five minutes with a coach holding the pads: six rounds of combinations, footwork and defence drills called round by round, a conditioning finisher, and a note of what to work on. The fastest way to learn to punch properly and the hardest you will work all week.
£40 a session, £360 for ten, £55 for two people sharing the coach.
Fifty minutes of boxing fitness for up to fourteen people, one heavy bag each: skipping, shadow boxing, bag rounds, partner pad drills and a conditioning finisher, with a coach walking the line. Mornings, evenings and Saturdays; every round has an easier and a harder version.
£8 a class, or £45 a month for as many as you like.
A four-week course for people who have never boxed: stance, guard, footwork, the six punches, slipping and blocking, and how to work a round, taught in eight evening sessions to a group of eight. At the end you can walk into any class and know what the coach is asking for.
£60 for the four weeks: eight sessions, Monday and Wednesday at 6pm, wraps to keep.
You have signed up for a charity white-collar bout and have twelve weeks. We get you fit enough to box three rounds, sharp enough on the pads to look like you belong there, and ready for fight night. Sparring happens at the licensed club running your event, never here.
£420 for twelve weeks: two pad sessions a week, a written conditioning plan, and a fight-week plan.
Boxing fitness for children aged eight to fifteen in two age groups: footwork games, skipping, pad and bag work, balance and coordination, and the confidence of learning something hard. No contact, ever. A parent or carer books, and Kerry, our safeguarding lead, runs every session.
£5 a session or £45 a twelve-week term.
A boxing workout for a team: an hour of pads, bags and partner drills for up to sixteen people of any fitness, here at the unit or at your workplace with the kit brought in a van. Laughing is normal. Nobody is hit and nobody is made to perform.
£180 for an hour here for up to sixteen people, £240 at your workplace with the kit brought.
House rules
Corner Man is a training gym, not a fight club. Sparring needs a licensed club, medicals, the right gloves and headguards and someone whose whole job is safety, and Newport has good amateur clubs that do it properly. We teach you to box, get you fitter than you have been in years, and if you want to compete, we will tell you which club to call.
Tell us what you are after and roughly when you can train, and we reply within the hour between rounds with a time: how to stand, a wrapped hand, the jab and cross, and an honest answer about where to start. No card details, and nobody hits you.
