Vancouver's Greatest Boxing Club
As one of the oldest Vancouver boxing gyms, the training at East Side is the best offered in BC.
I am sad to report that the Astoria Boxing Club is closing permanently!
The coaches and staff are truly heart broken. However, Dave will continue to train and honor those members of the Astoria at Action Boxing Club under the Astoria Hotel on East Hasting St.
East Side boxing club is looking to open it’s door and is working with Aprons for Gloves inorder to lock down a new space as well as funds to continue the gym.
Aprons for Gloves Boxing Association is a charity organization that was founded in 2012 by a group of individuals from various service industry professions, most of whom live and work in the Gastown/Downtown Eastside area. A few of our founding members had begun boxing as a way to relieve stress and keep fit.
When it was brought to their attention that Astoria was closing, they felt that we had to do something to help. It was with this in mind that the Restaurant Rumble fundraiser was born!
Learn MoreBoxing coach David Schuck started the East Side Boxing Club after the closure of the historical Astoria Boxing Club, where he was the head coach.
As a non-profit boxing club, East Side Boxing is faced with the financial stuggles of finding a new space, purchasing equipment and having the capital to run a successful community boxing club.
Luckely Aprons for Gloves has stepped in and will be donating all proceeds of the Restaurant Rumble to Dave Schuck's gym.
