I have no experience in neither boxing and nor kickboxing, but I am really willing to to get into it, is there any related club in Zurich? What are the prices for such trainings?

I would really like to get into kickboxing too...I've stumbled across the following:

http://www.kickboxing.ch/2005/index.php

http://www.fit4fight.ch/

They also include prices and training times...

If you're into this kind of thing, you could also look for "tae kwon do" which is pretty similar to kick boxing.

Sounds pretty cool,
If anyone in Basel is interested in going, let me know, I would like 2 join!
I'm an absolute beginner but also a quick learner :-)

Boxing or kickboxing? You know: there's quite a difference between the two...
Along the lines of kickboxing, you may also want to try googling (resp. consult the telephone directory) for Muay Thai or Thai boxing: I remember that there were a few clubs in Zurich.

Also, if you're mainly interested in the "fitness" aspect (and hopefully technique, but probably no sparring), then the sports association at ETH offers courses; since you're starting your PhD there, you probably won't have to pay extra.

I train kickboxing at fairplay gym on wehntalerstrasse 441 (www.fit4fight.ch) and can highly recommend it. You have something like 13 training sessions per week to choose from.

You should however know that it is currently closed for the yearly 2 week 'summer vacation' as the owner (Ivo) is training in Thailand with the national team.

I have previously also been training at 'Asia sport center' close to the uni spital in kreis 6 , (http://www.asiasportcenter.ch/) , and it's also one of Zurichs better Kickboxing gyms (again mainly WAKO/WKA - LC/SC and some FC).


There are several good Muay Thai gyms in Zurich, but they tend to have a bit 'different' crowd compared to the KB gyms. I would recommend some previous fighting experience before stepping into the ring

Nattha Pong is also on Wehntalerstrasse: http://www.thaibox-pong.ch/

Fight World in kreis 4 is also organizing MT classes: http://www.fightworld.ch/


hope this helps..

Hi guys i am searching for a boxing club just boxing
i just arrive in zurich and going to live there for three years
tanks for your help

Here's a list of amateur boxing Clubs in the Zurich region. Boxclub Sporting Zürich is located in Zurich-Albisrieden.

That's great info, do any of these places offer in english. it might be intersting to get back into something after a rather long break.

It has never been any problem for me, and I don't speak German.
There are also other people only speaking english at fairplay (fit4fight).

I was with Ivo in thailand and he's really a great trainer. So, I highly recommend fairplay (fit4fight). I train kickboxing in bern at the Nippon center. I just love it.

Well, I trained in a very good kickboxing club in Zürich-PRAVDA(they are also combining muay thai with the KB, something like full contact), but since I moved to Basel I'm searching for another one here. My best recommendations for the club PRAVDA. You don't need to speak much and the exercises are hard enough that after training you feel like a butterfly. So if anybody is interested in, here's the link:

p.s. Also to mention that once per week you will have opportunity for light-contact sparing but only when you move from the beginners level.

Have fun
