Description: 

The Britannia Boxing Club is very excited to add River Tucker as a coach for a NEW program offering - a Gender Diverse, Trans Positive program for children, aged 6-10 years old.

This class will teach the basics of punching and footwork of boxing, which is not only fun and fosters confidence and body awareness. Boxing is also an excellent practice for coordination and overall movement literacy. Some kids learn to discover their strength, some to regulate their strength.

This is a non-contact class. Equipment is provided.

About the coach: River is a competitive elite boxer who has fought for the last 10 years, in the USA and Canada, bringing home medals from the Canadian National Championship twice.

She has been running Queers Box Camp Vancouver for the past 11 years.

River is an openly queer, gender non-conforming, butch identified boxer who is passionate about bringing the sweet science to the queer, trans community and anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable at a traditional boxing gym. River is also a member of the Quinit Boxing coaching team and focuses on getting clients out of pain and feeling stronger at Functional Fitness East Van.

Boxing room is located beside Gym C.
