Boxing is not a sport. It is TOTAL fitness -- from the minute you walk into DEF and feel the vibe and adrenaline rushing through the body -- to train and work out every muscle and to sweat out the daily stresses of life. Boxing at DEF = having a good time, working out, enhancing your well being and physique all packaged into one. It only took a powerful cross and an uppercut for me to fall in love with boxing"

DEF is an excellent gym with fantastic facilities and equipment. The trainers are very proffesional and offer the support and encouragement that is required to push yourself that little bit further.

The tailor-made programmes combine fitness with more technical activities, ensuring a good all-round workout that suits each individual.

With a choice of individual and group sessions, there is something here for eveyone from complete beginners to advanced boxers.

DEF boxing is a great place, not just to learn how to f*ck sh*t up but everything about it is chill. The trainers Jay, Stephen and Ralf are mad funny. They act just like kids and enjoy good company. I could not have found a better place to learn how to box.

Having great facilities, the nicest staff (and the coolest shower curtains!) DEF is definitely the best place to work out in town.
The trainers are all very nice but also have a degree of strictness so they push you to the best of your capability. They are able to make boxing much more than just a workout, the seemingly violent sport becomes extremely enjoyable!
The fitness programs combined with boxing at DEF not only improved my co-ordination, it also improved my fitness and endurance, helping me with all my sports not only boxing.
The mixture of fantastic facilities and really friendly staff makes DEF a place that can suit anyone, no matter what age, including a growing teenager like me!

I finally understand what a complete workout is all about - boxing.
What sets DEF apart from other gyms is the commitment to the training, culture and appreciation of boxing. In the six weeks since joining DEF I have lost weight, gained muscle, and cultivated a good rapport with the staff.
Along with top class equipment and facilities, trainers Jay, Stephen, and Ralf are as committed to your workout as you are, perhaps even more so.
If you are looking for a total mind and body workout, DEF is the place to be in Hong Kong.

Boxing is now a popular and trendy sport especially among girls. So the number of female members in every boxing gym is increasing. In a group class for novices, the coach may sometimes match up a guy and a girl for a couple of rounds of situational sparring. Usually the girl will be instructed to launch a set of combo and repeat it one by one and the guy will be asked just to play defence for example by blocking or slipping. Knowing that the guy is not allowed to hit back the girl may sometimes just become frantic and start to pummel ferociously and incessantly as if you were her lousy boyfriend. Listen guys, if that happens, try this: use you footwork to get out of range and say to the girl that if you fail to collect yourself, I will clinch. According to my own personal experience, it works. The girl will immediately calm down and play by the coach's instruction with no actual clinching needed.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a sport. Choose a great gym with the best showers. Choose a good coach but all coaches here are brilliant. Choose Jay. Choose Steven or even Ralf. Choose bag punching. Choose speed bag to impress all the girls. Choose weight training. Choose to look good. Choose to knock down an opponent with a deadly blow. Choose sparing. Choose endurance. Choose techniques. Choose to be fit. Choose to be strong. Choose to be unique. Choose to be cool. Choose to push your own limits. Choose golf...But why should I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose golf. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you go to DEF.
