The Brussels Boxing Academy is an Olympic boxing club. Training is open to everyone: girls and boys, from 6 years of age. You can box for fun or in competition. Brussels Boxing Academy has various locations, including the old Cinoco building in Molenbeek.

During the pandemic, we were forced to train outside. We trained on the steps of the basilica, in the Parc du Cinquantenaire and in the park at Porte de Ninove. Finally, we decided to build our own outdoor training hall. We built two boxing rings and a structure with punching bags from old car tyres. We train there daily, but soon we realised that the air is not pure.

The personal development of the young people is central to our work.  Their health is very important. Healthy air goes hand in hand with sport and exercise. Healthy air also says a lot about how we live in our city: too many cars, too few good cycle paths, few parks, trees and greenery. We measure the air, but we also measure the quality of life in the city.
