GymBox with Boxing Zone – Strength, Boxing and Grappling Under One Roof

Boxing + gym + grappling – three functions, one interior

Combat athletes train differently than people doing classic strength routines. For boxing you need bag work and lateral movement space. For grappling – a dedicated tatami zone where you can fall safely and work on the ground. For strength – resistance machines and free weights.

All three fit in a single GymBox – provided you design the layout properly. The key point: the grappling area sits on tatami as a separate zone, not “laid over” the strength floor.

What we mean by a “boxing zone”

Three configuration levels, scaled by module size:

Heavy bag – it comes down to the ceiling

One of the most important parameters when ordering a boxing GymBox.

The standard GymBox interior height is 2.70 m – kept consistent across sizes for training comfort.

➜ Ceiling load-bearing beam – fitted at the factory during module production (the cleanest solution, no later drilling) ➜ Standard heavy bag (80–100 cm): around 0.5 m of chain + bag = hangs at ~2.2–2.3 m – fine ➜ Long heavy bag (150–180 cm): we recommend raising the module to 3.0 m (custom-build option) ➜ Speed bag: wall- or beam-mounted at ~1.8–2.0 m

Flooring – tatami + rubber hybrid

We recommend the hybrid: rubber in the strength zone, 40 mm tatami in the dedicated grappling area. You can train safely with weights and in the clinch in the same module.

A dedicated grappling area – the key to Boxing Standard and Full

Wrestling, BJJ and clinch work need a separate tatami area – minimum 6 m² of free space with no equipment on it. That is the difference between “a bag in the corner of a gym” and real combat training.

In the 6×5 and 7×5 modules we mark out the grappling area with a textile partition (shoji) or a step in floor level – tatami sits on a slightly raised frame, clearly separating it from the gym zone.

Example layout: 7×5 module (Boxing Full + gym)

Ventilation – critical for boxing

Boxing and grappling produce high intensity and a serious demand for fresh air. A standard GymBox runs a 3.5 kW AC unit (heat + cool), but for intense combat training we recommend:

➜ 5 kW AC (instead of the standard 3.5 kW) – better air exchange ➜ Opening windows or doors on two walls – natural cross-ventilation ➜ Industrial fan as an optional add-on for bag work

Boxing zone equipment – what is in the quote

Standard boxing package: ➜ Ceiling load-bearing beam for the bag (factory-fitted) ➜ Heavy training bag, 40–50 kg ➜ Speed bag with a wall platform ➜ 40 mm tatami puzzle mats (dedicated grappling area) ➜ Wall bar (optional) ➜ Rack for gloves and protective gear

Premium options: ➜ Permanently anchored tatami (full grappling zone) ➜ Premium mirrors 2.2 × 4.5 m ➜ Long heavy bag 180 cm (subject to ceiling height confirmation) ➜ 5 kW AC unit

Who is it for?

➜ Amateur boxers – regular technical training without a commercial gym ➜ BJJ, wrestling, kickboxing athletes – their own space for specialist work ➜ Parents whose kids train combat sports – family training in the garden ➜ Personal trainers specialising in combat sports – their own studio without rent
