Thank you for your interest in our Cuban Boxing Camps in Havana, Cuba. We regularly schedule camps throughout the year and are very excited to be offering such an exclusive opportunity to you.

An overview of the training camps can be found below with a link at the bottom of the page to register your place on our camp.

Once registered we will send you details for payment. You need to fill in your contact details, which week or weeks you want to attend and any special requirements. Please register your interest as soon as possible, as spaces are limited and we can't guarantee your place until you have paid the deposit.

Some of you are travelling with friends or family and we will be happy to speak to you separately about the arrangements for them. 

PAYMENT

We require $100/ €100 deposit to be paid to confirm the booking (please enquire for prices in £). Once your booking has been confirmed and the deposit paid, 2 additional payments will be arranged to cover the full balance. The 2nd and final payment will be paid in cash in Havana. This has enabled us to keep the costs down and it also benefits the Cubans that we work with if they receive cash in these currencies. Please note that the fees do not include your flight costs and you will have to arrange this separately with your visa.


TRAINING CAMP

So, a little bit more about the training camp. This camp is in partnership with the RASEL HECHAVARRIA COMPANY and they have been running successful training camps for a number of years now. We have a team of colleagues who are experienced boxers and coaches. The Cuban system for coaching is one of the best in the world, we pride ourselves on our training to become a coach (which is 2 years of study and several years assisting coaches as well as years of boxing at the competition level). We are perfectionists!

The training plan is based on the National team training program. 2 sessions a day – fitness/conditioning and then technique. Ideally, both will be during the morning so that you have free time in the afternoon.

We will also have beach training days which will be all day.

There will be an experienced team of coaches so that we can separate the group into different levels. That means we can include complete beginners as well as elite competition-level boxers. Everyone will get the specific focus that they need.

Beyond the training sessions, we will be organising visits to places of interest around Havana and we will include any other activity that is going on during your stay – such as regional tournaments.

We are also lining up a Cuban Olympic boxer (name to be announced nearer the time) who will join the sessions and do a Q&A.

We will be arranging sparring for anyone who is interested. This is an extra cost that varies depending on the boxer and needs to be paid in £ or € cash. It is usually between €10-€20 per session.


ACCOMMODATION

The accommodation has been arranged in Casas Particulares. These are the equivalent of a Bed and Breakfast. They are licensed Cuban homes. Not only does this keep the cost down but it will give you a truly authentic experience. The welcome goes above and beyond and you will be staying in the neighbourhood around the gym. We highly recommend this as our clients repeatedly tell us that the experience in the Casa was as important as the training.

Some of our clients have asked for different accommodation because they are travelling as a family or they prefer something different. We can help you with this also. Please indicate that on the form on the link below.


HAVANA!

The training schedule is intense but for those of you that want to experience Havana, we have a list of excursions and activities on offer. We will send those to you when you book. You are able to book these activities any time – even after you arrive (subject to availability of course). And you pay for this in € or £ cash in Havana.


MEALS

Breakfast is included in your price. For lunches, we will show you where you can pick up lunch on the go or eat in local Cuban places – and tourist restaurants.

In the evening, we will arrange a group booking in a restaurant every night. This is completely optional so if you want to explore on your own you can. For anyone that wants to eat together, it will be a good opportunity to catch up with the group and coaches at the end of the day.
