Here at Swale Gloves we welcome female boxers, we currently have over 30 females members. Many women and girls come in to boxing for different reasons such as self defence, confidence building, to do something different and learn new skills, to be a World Champion or just simply to be happy and healthy through a physical and dynamic activity.
Getting started in boxing may seem a daunting task and you may be asking questions like "is it just for boys?" or "I won't be any good, will I?" or "where can I go?". Boxing for women and girls in England is on the increase. In 2005 the Amateur Boxing Association of England only had 50 registered female boxers. As of March 2008 they had 508, which goes to show that other women and girls with the same questions as you did manage to start boxing.
As for the question "Is it just for boys?", well the answer is no. Traditionally boxing has been male dominated, but this is changing. There are many Boxing gyms that provide and cater for women and girls, Swale Gloves being one of them
