Mind over Matter Boxing

Mind Over Matter Boxing is an outdoor boxing community in Alexandra Park, run by Simone, who has been boxing since 1997 and has fought for two British titles in Thai boxing.

After coaching in London for nearly two decades, Simone moved to Hastings, where she has spent almost two years running boxing classes in the park. Complete beginners can learn the basics at their own pace, with support from someone who understands how daunting a traditional boxing club can feel.

The sessions build fitness and confidence and are a fantastic way to let off some serious steam. Weekend training takes place on Sunday mornings. During the week, there is a Tuesday evening class and another on Wednesday morning. Classes cost £15 on a pay-as-you-go basis. DM Simone for more info or to book a class.

WHAT WE LOVE

A two-time British Thai boxing title contender teaching complete beginners in a park is not something you find everywhere and Simone makes it feel possible for anyone to walk in and start. What her regulars talk about most is the community she has built – just take a look at her 350+ five-star Google reviews if you need proof.
