Boxing-based self-defense, one-on-one or in a small group — real skills and real confidence, no experience needed.

Learn to protect yourself with real, practical skills. At Central Park Boxing, women train one-on-one or in small groups with coaches who teach boxing-based self-defense: a strong stance, effective strikes, defense, footwork and awareness.
No experience needed and no egos — just patient, personal coaching. More than half our clients are women, and every session is built around you.
Strikes, blocks, footwork and creating distance — techniques you drill until they're automatic.
Knowing you can defend yourself changes how you walk down the street.
Boxing builds power, stamina and coordination — a great workout on top of the skills.
By appointment at 2758 Broadway (106th St) — private or small-group sessions.
