Arbour Hill Boxing Club · Dublin 7 · Est. 1929
Amateur boxing for boys and girls aged 10 to 17. Complete beginners welcome — the first session is free.
No gear needed for your first session.
Round 1 — The Hall
Kids from Dublin 7 walk in shy on a Monday. They learn to skip, learn to move, learn to hold their hands up — and somewhere along the way they stop being shy.
That's the job. Boxing is how we do it. Structured sessions, qualified coaches, and a hall full of photographs of the kids who came before — some of them are the coaches now.
Nobody is thrown in a ring. Beginners start with footwork, pads and fitness; sparring is earned later, in headgear, under a coach's eye. Some members never compete at all, and that's fine too.
Training young Dubliners for 97 years.
More National Champions than any club in Ireland — their photos line the walls.
Under-16 training fee. €10 a week for 16–17s.
The record
The club's own record — and the photographs on the hall walls to back it up, going back generations.
I joined the club and was instantly welcomed by the amazing coaches and team. A month after I joined I won the national title at 51kgs.Ella — National Champion, 51 kgIn her own words, from the club’s reviews.
Round 2 — Training
A session, start to finish: warm-up and skipping, technical drills, pad work with a coach, fitness to close. Structured, supervised, and done by quarter past eight.
