Exciting news! We are now offering non-contact group boxing workshops and rolling classes in North Devon and Exeter.

Workshop programmes

Workshop name: ‘Find Your Inner Warrior Workshop’

Dates: Wednesday 11th, 18th, 25th September, 2nd, 9th, 16th October 2024.

Time: 7.30 - 8.30 pm, Wednesdays.

Location: Bang Bang Boxing Club, Crediton, Exeter EX17 1EY

Details: A 6 week programme with Whatsapp support group included for up to 10 people.

Each class will be just over an hour. Through a series of six classes offered on a weekly basis, we will work with your nervous system to help you find strategies tailored to help you find your inner warrior, take up space, express yourself, ask for what you need, set boundaries and build on self-care. No previous boxing experience required.

A Whatsapp group will also be available, offered as a motivational peer space where people can ask questions, check in about strategies practiced outside of class and share what has worked/has not worked for them. The group is there to help people who join our classes apply skills they learn to their everyday lives, giving you more bang for your buck! Head over to our schedule page to book your place.

Price: £30 per person. Please book a place on our ‘schedule’ page.

Themes of classes 

Our classes are informed by compassion focused therapy, internal family systems, schema therapy and embodied coaching. We have rolling themes in our classes, including but not limited to: taking up space, self-care, embracing your inner happy child, finding and channelling your angry child, meeting our needs, becoming our best selves. 

How many people will there be? 

There will be anywhere from three to 8 people at one time in our classes. 

What makes these classes different from a regular boxercise class?

In our classes, we use light touch, present focused, growth inspired psychological techniques, blending these with movement and boxing skills. Our classes are trauma informed. This means we promote the following values: 

Safety - Safety is a priority in our classes. We aim to support people in finding safety by taking each activity at their own pace, all suggestions of skills and invitations to share your experiences are optional. We hold space for people to be vulnerable and share personal experiences if it feels right for them, but there is no pressure. This is with the caveat that we keep conversations in the group focused on the present where possible (this is not group therapy). Ultimately, we support you to embrace your inner playful child and have fun!

Trust - We aim to be transparent with our plans and follow through on any promises. Our classes follow a simple structure and routine, providing you with a predictable rhythm you can count on. 

Support - We offer a WhatsApp group with our classes, providing you with a peer-led space to share tricky moments, celebrate times of courage and change, as well as random memes, powerful playlists...the list goes on!

Collaboration - We invite your feedback, encourage you to listen to your body and make decisions that feel good for you. One example of this might be choosing an exercise you'd like to try. 

Respect - We hold the space for you to reconnect with your power by tuning in to your body, saying 'no', when needed, asserting your needs and setting boundaries. This could mean opting out of an exercise, or taking a break.
