The Boxing Club at Iowa State offers comprehensive training for individuals interested in competitive boxing and fitness. Our club is home to a dedicated boxing team for members who attend practice regularly and wish to compete, as well as for those seeking a fun, high-intensity workout or wanting to sharpen their skills. Before joining our regular practices, all participants must complete our Fundamentals Class, offered at the start of each semester, to ensure everyone is equipped with the foundational skills needed for safety and success
Club Practice Times:
i. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday (technique and skill development) 6:30-7:45 PM
ii. Tuesday (mitt work and partner drills) 6:00-7:00 PM
iii. Friday (sparring and open gym) 6:00-8:30 PM
Club Practice Location: Basement of State Gym
Fundamentals Class: days, times, and locations vary each semester (please see us at ClubFest or wait for our mass email to be sent out the first month of the fall and spring semesters); once you have taken the fundamentals class, you are eligible to join the boxing club practices.
