About Croydon Boxing Academy
Croydon Boxing Academy is the home of Impact BC and the Sobers Boxing Clinic, based in Croydon. The academy offers a range of boxing styles - amateur competitive, white collar, kids, women's, and fitness boxing. The Sobers Boxing Clinic, run by Shane Sobers, operates evening sessions with a focus on technical detail and disciplined coaching.
The academy caters to all levels and runs a busy timetable with morning and evening sessions throughout the week. Amateur competitive boxing sessions run on multiple days, alongside dedicated kids and women's classes.
About Honour & Glory
Honour & Glory is based at the Samuel Montagu Youth Centre in Kidbrooke, SE3. We're an England Boxing affiliated amateur boxing club with qualified coaches holding BBBofC licences. Our head coach Anton brings over 30 years of boxing experience.
We run classes for all ages from 5 upwards - infants (5-9), juniors (10-16), senior amateurs, recreational adults, and dedicated women's sessions. Sessions run on a pay-as-you-go basis from £5, with no joining fees or contracts.
Classes
Croydon Boxing Academy runs a diverse programme: amateur competitive boxing (mornings and evenings), kids boxing, women's sessions, white collar training, and the Sobers Boxing Clinic. It's a well-rounded offering with something for most people.
Honour & Glory covers a similar range with the addition of our infants programme (ages 5-9) - something that very few clubs offer. We also provide personal training from £30/hour for those wanting focused one-to-one work.
Pricing
Croydon Boxing Academy's pricing isn't prominently listed on their website. Contact them directly for session fees and any membership requirements.
At Honour & Glory, it's all on our website: pay as you go from £5 for juniors and amateurs, £10 for adult recreational. No joining fees, no contracts.
Location and Access
Croydon is about 35 minutes south-west of Kidbrooke. For anyone in the Croydon area, the academy is well-placed. For SE London residents in Kidbrooke, Greenwich, Eltham, or Blackheath, it's a significant drive - particularly in rush-hour traffic.
Honour & Glory is right in Kidbrooke, accessible from across South East London.
The Verdict
Croydon Boxing Academy is a solid all-round club with good coaching and varied classes. If you're in Croydon, it's worth a look. For South East Londoners, Honour & Glory offers a similar breadth of classes (plus training from age 5), transparent pricing from £5, and a location that doesn't require a 35-minute drive.
