MESSAGE

Welcome to JAPAN BOXING CLUB Malaysia.

For over two decades, our group has operated nine gyms across Japan, earning the trust of countless members. Today, we are proud to bring the first authentic Japanese-style boxing gym to Kuala Lumpur, right here in KLCC.

Our vision goes beyond fitness. We aim to create a space that combines Japanese boxing techniques with the spirit of Wa—harmony. Here, you can strengthen both body and mind, developing resilience and confidence that benefit daily life and business alike.

With equipment directly imported from Japan and uncompromising attention to quality, we ensure the same standards that have defined our gyms at home.

Boxing is more than training—it’s an experience that’s fun, empowering, and sustainable. We look forward to sharing that joy with the people of Malaysia and building a community connected through the heart of boxing.

Greeting from the Founder

Welcome to JAPAN BOXING CLUB in KLCC.

For over two decades, our Boxing Club Group has been operating nine gyms across Japan in major cities such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro. Thousands have experienced our unique approach to boxing—combining fitness, discipline, and the spirit of Wa (harmony).

Now, we are proud to bring the first authentic Japanese-style boxing gym to Malaysia. Our goal is not only to provide world-class training but also to create a community where you can build strength, resilience, and confidence—both in body and mind. We believe the lessons learned in the ring also empower you in daily life and business.

Our facilities, including the boxing ring and sandbags, are directly imported from Japan, ensuring the same uncompromising quality our members enjoy back home. Whether you are a beginner seeking a fun way to get fit or an athlete aiming to sharpen your skills, we welcome everyone.

Although language and culture may differ, boxing has a universal language— the connection of the heart. Our passionate team is ready to guide you, inspire you, and share the joy of boxing with you.

We look forward to welcoming you to JAPAN BOXING CLUB KLCC.
