Where can Chinese and international students learn boxing in London?
Paul Carroll provides private boxing training for Chinese, international and UK students across London, bringing the coaching and equipment to a suitable location near you.
Sessions can take place at an agreed home, student accommodation with permission, residential gym, private space or suitable outdoor location. This is appointment-only personal coaching rather than a public drop-in class or university club. Coaching is in clear English, supported by visual demonstrations and step-by-step instruction.

Complete beginners

Train with a friend
Two students can share a private lesson for £110 total—£55 each—when location and goals are compatible.

Your first private lesson
How a private student boxing lesson works
A standard private lesson normally lasts 60 minutes. Your first session is not a test: Paul establishes your experience and goals, then adjusts the balance of technique, padwork and fitness to your starting point.
01
Warm-up and movement
Mobility, activation and progressive movement selected for the session.
02
Stance and footwork
Build balance, positioning, movement and a stable base before adding speed.
03
Punch technique
Learn the jab, cross, hooks, uppercuts, combinations and defensive movement.
04
Padwork rounds
Practise timing, accuracy, movement and combinations with immediate feedback.
05
Conditioning
Use boxing intervals and appropriate strength or core work to develop fitness.
06
Review and progression
Finish with a short review so the next session builds on what you learned.

Learning boxing when English is not your first language

Visual demonstrations
See the stance, punch or footwork pattern before attempting it yourself.
Short instructions
Techniques are divided into manageable stages rather than explained with unnecessary jargon.
Practice and correction
Repeat each movement while Paul corrects balance, position, timing and technique.
Questions are welcome
Ask Paul to repeat, slow down or demonstrate anything that is not immediately clear.
