The coaches, Karl and Kenny, both really nice fellas, are highly experienced and committed to their sport and will take you from absolute beginner to having definite skills and fitness in a matter of weeks.
Both coaches are totally approachable and always ready to answer questions or demonstrate techniques until you understand them.
The gym is well equipped with bags, gloves and even a ring so you won’t need to bring anything except your kit and an attitude to work hard and learn.
The aim of Underdog Gym is clear from the start: to take you all the way to being a proficient boxer.

"I was set up for success from day 1."
If you've ever had a remote interest in boxing, I strongly recommend the beginners boxing course. Doesn't matter how unsure, unfit or unconfident you are. All of that will change, fast.
Going into it I honestly thought 6 weeks was going to be too short to make any sort of real progress. Couldn't have been more wrong. I was set up for success from day 1.
Progress has been unbelievable in terms of fitness, confidence and technical ability.

Gym is well equipped and is always kept spotlessly clean. From the first time I walked in the door there was a clear effort to make sure I felt welcome, comfortable and most importantly – safe.
Coaches Kenny and Murillo are excellent and it’s hard for their passion not to rub off on you.
Kenny has a people-centric approach to coaching that encourages learning, experimentation and individual style and Murillo is a harsh taskmaster that feeds on the suffering of others (in a good way).
Don’t think there’s realistically anything I could recommend to improve the place.
Thanks Kenny, Murillo, Renata, Karl (and all of the Underdog members that have helped me along the way) for your expertise, support and encouragement.
The rewards are right there waiting. All you need to do is put the work in.

What fighters are saying
Karl is an all round world level coach. From my experience travelling the world with the British Olympic Team and being coached professionally, I can say: Karl ticks the boxes! He doesn't only explain to you, but he shows you. He goes into details, and explains the reason behind each drill.
pro boxer | former olympic team GB
Karl is a boxing coach most passionate about his craft, and know how to pass it on. I had a chance to be coached by him during my professional career. He was very attentive and knew how to create specific training sessions to help me progress technically and mentally. Besides, if you want to learn boxing, Karl is the coach you need!
pro boxer | former EBU champion
Karl is an exceptional Boxing Coach. He coached me to winning County, Provincial and National titles. Instead of applying a one-size-fits all approach, he allows his boxers to develop their own style, while applying his endless knowledge of the sweet science! All while whipping you into shape! Karl lives and breathes boxing. A gentleman. The best in business!
County, provincial & national champion
Karl was my coach for many years, he always had a calm motivating approach to teaching with a precise objective for each training. He has an amazing insight into boxing and always gave personalised advice to help you grow into your won style. I couldn't recommend Karl highly enough to anyone looking to improve their skill, even if are just starting out as he is highly experienced in coaching all levels.
Celtic box cup & Dublin leagues gold medalist, Monkstown international box cup silver medalist
I have known Karl for many years, from back when we both competed together as club mats. I would day: He is a true boxing guy. Karl is a rarity as a coach in that he's both "old school" and refreshingly not afraid to change with the times in order to keep learning and improving. He is a guy who loves to pass knowledge on. His enthusiasm remains the same whether it be working with professional boxers, young hopefuls or regular people who just want to get fit and learn to box.
Multi nations gold & bronze medalist, Irish Intenational Rep., Under 21s Irish intermediate champion
Karl is a true asset and a fountain of knowledge. When it comes to boxing and developing real skills in technique, he is the man to call.
