About
Boxing is a renowned boxing gym located in Colchester, offering a unique and specialised training system developed by the late Cus D'amato. As the first of its kind in the UK, Boxing aims to teach individuals the science of head motion, incorporating both offence and defence seamlessly to create a formidable fighting style.
The gym's roots can be traced back to the Catskills in New York City, where Cus D'amato taught boxing to anyone who walked through the doors of the gym. After his passing, Peek-A-Boo Boxing was kept underground until now, when it has emerged to share its expertise with individuals in Colchester and Clacton.
Peek-A-Boo Boxing implements a technique known as the Peek-a-Boo style, named after the defensive hand position in which the boxer's gloves are placed in front of their face. This technique not only provides additional protection for the face but also enables easier and more effective jabs at the opponent. The key principles of the Peek-a-Boo style are founded on the concept of “bad intentions,” emphasising aggressive counterpunching and constant forward movement.
The philosophy behind Peek-A-Boo Boxing revolves around the idea of hitting without getting hit. By constantly charging at the opponent and provoking them into throwing punches, the practitioner creates openings and dominant angles of attack. The goal is not only to win but also to excite the crowd with an exhilarating display of skill and technique.
Peek-A-Boo Boxing offers a complete guide to mastering the skill set and tools needed to become an effective and exciting fighter. The gym provides the opportunity to learn advanced and technically advantaged skills that have transcended time and remain effective in the modern boxing ring.
What sets Peek-A-Boo Boxing Clubs in Colchester and Clacton apart is the effectiveness of the style itself. By adopting the Peek-a-Boo style, fighters are able to react instinctively without conscious intervention, making it an unbeatable style when executed correctly. The gym emphasises the importance of quick movements, closing the distance with opponents, and utilising a squared body position to land devastating counters.
