Boxing & kickboxing in Port Rashid, indoor pad rounds by the harbour.

Kickboxing & boxing coach in Port Rashid (Mina Rashid)

Port Rashid, often called Mina Rashid, is the harbour district between Bur Dubai and Jumeirah, with the QE2 moored beside the new marina residences. Many people here arrived recently, and the first weeks go on boxes, parking permits and working out the residence gym. A boxing habit is easier to start when the coach comes up to your floor instead of you hunting for a club across town.

Syrine coaches personal training with a martial arts background, focused on boxing and kickboxing. Shima leads kickboxing, cardio conditioning and self-defence. Both coaches are women. Expect clean technique first: guard, distance and breathing. Then comes the sweat, with combinations on pads that build to full rounds.

Sea air at the port is humid for much of the year, so serious rounds happen indoors, in an air-conditioned living room, a residence studio or the AB Fitness floor. On mild winter mornings a short walk or jog along the waterfront can finish a session. Boxing and kickboxing for kids and teens is offered Dubai-wide, which helps families settling into the harbour.

Training spots around Mina Rashid

• Marina residence apartments: Pad drills in a cleared lounge while the new home takes shape.
• Residence studios and gyms: Off-peak rounds once the building confirms visiting-coach rules.
• AB Fitness, Port Rashid partner: Bags, open floor and room for kicks on the same side of the creek.
• VIP Gym, Al Mina Road: A nearby Jumeirah option for clients who already train there.

First month at the port
