Boxing classes in small groups at a club in Edgeley: Boxing Basics and Boxfit for adults, and Young Boxers for ages 8 to 16, every weekday evening and Saturday morning.
Controlled, coached sparring in headguards and gum shields for members ready to test their defence. The coach picks every pair and stops any round that gets out of hand.

Class details
Illustrative stock photographs: the people shown are not Slipline members or coaches.
Timetable
Weekday evenings, Saturday mornings.
17 sessions a week from Monday to Saturday. Each one starts on the minute, so come a little early on your first night.
Fictional sample profiles: the names are invented and the portraits are stock photographs of models, not Slipline coaches.
Your first session
Seventy minutes of Boxing Basics, round by round.
Before you start, a coach goes through the health questionnaire with you (sample club policy). After that, this is how the seventy minutes run on a Boxing Basics night.
Rope and shadowboxing
Skipping, then a few rounds of shadowboxing in front of the long mirror.
Ten minutes
Feet on the floor lines
Painted lines on the floor keep your stance honest while you practise stepping, turning and the jab.
A quarter of an hour
Pads with a partner
One of you holds, one of you throws, then you swap. Nobody throws back in Boxing Basics.
Ten minutes
Bag rounds against the bell
Three-minute rounds while the coach works along the line fixing guards.
Twenty-five minutes
Stretch and notes
A stretch on the floor while the coach notes what you covered, so next week starts from there.
Ten minutes
Boxfit Circuit and Young Boxers follow their own plans; your coach explains each one on the night. There is no charge for a taster session.
“Our lad goes Mondays and Saturdays. He listens to Jo in a way he never listens to me, and he sleeps well after.”

Bank holidays: hours may vary, so check before you travel. Closed for the winter break from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day (sample dates).
Only if you want to, and only after a coach invites you. Boxing Basics, Boxfit and Young Boxers have no sparring at all.
What happens at a taster session?
A coach meets you at the desk for the health questionnaire, then you warm up with the class and spend the pad rounds with a coach. There is no charge for a taster session.
Is boxing at the club safe for children?
Young Boxers classes have no sparring and no punches to the head. Jo and Rhys are both on the floor every session, and a parent or carer signs a child in and out (sample club policy).
Can I come on my own?
Most first-timers do. The coach introduces you to the group in the warm-up and checks on you between rounds.
Where do I change and leave my things?
Changing rooms with showers are by the entrance, and there are hooks for bags along the back wall (sample details).
