Respect first
Every person in the gym is treated with respect. That applies to coaches, parents, juniors, beginners, visitors, competitors and professional fighters.
Respect and community
CODE OF CONDUCT
Honour & Glory is a proper boxing club. That means discipline, control and respect. Everyone who trains here helps keep the gym safe.
We welcome people from every background, culture, gender, sexuality, faith and experience level. Immigrants, LGBTQ+ members, women, men, parents, children, complete beginners and serious fighters all share the same floor.
The rule is simple: train hard, respect others, leave the ego outside.
No discrimination
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, religious abuse, bullying, intimidation or harassment. Different backgrounds, same standard.
Controlled training
Boxing is a contact sport, but it is not chaos. Sparring is coach-led, matched sensibly and stopped immediately if someone ignores instructions.
Leave the ego outside
No showing off at someone else’s expense. No trying to hurt people in drills. No macho posturing. Train hard, stay humble and help the room get better.
What we expect
- Listen to coaches and follow instructions during training.
- Respect training partners, especially when there is a difference in age, size, strength or experience.
- Use controlled contact only. Beginners are not thrown into sparring.
- Keep the gym clean, put equipment back and look after shared kit.
- Speak to people properly. Banter is not an excuse for making someone feel unsafe or unwelcome.
- Tell a coach if you see bullying, intimidation, discrimination or unsafe behaviour.
What is not welcome
We do not tolerate behaviour that turns boxing into ego, intimidation or a performance of toughness. That includes:
- Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or religious abuse.
- Bullying, harassment, threats or aggressive behaviour.
- Trying to hurt someone in drills, sparring or pad work.
- Ignoring coach instructions or pressuring someone into contact they are not ready for.
- Filming or photographing people without permission.
If something feels wrong
Speak to a coach, message the club or ask a parent/guardian to contact us if you are under 18. Concerns are taken seriously. Coaches have final say in the gym and can stop a session, remove someone from training or escalate safeguarding concerns where needed.
Real boxing. Real community.
If you want a gym where people train hard without ego, intimidation or toxic gym culture, come and see us.
