Our story and purpose
Over the last 25 years, the Blue Cat Boxing Club has gradually evolved with the people who bring it to life. Our story spans different locations and various challenges, each a stepping stone on the journey to who we are today.
1999
The Blue Cat Boxing Club was founded in 1999 in Montreal. Starting with limited funds, and a small, confined space with no air flow and uneven cement floors, new members just kept showing up. It became evident the club served a community need, and demand progressed unabated.
2003
Our first move took us to a nice, dingy locale hidden behind the Dimitri Cuir building on Parc and Van Horne. We had changerooms for the first time. Train tracks ran below our windows, which we would run along daily. It was a huge improvement, but it still remained unpolished and simple. A home to sweat and box.
2008
After 5 great years on Van Horne, we expanded to our next location: a huge space on Beaubien, where we remained for over 15 years, until August 2023.
2024
In January 2024, we moved permanently to our new space in Magog. Although the dream of a foray back to the old 'hood in Montreal will always remain in our hearts, our locale in Magog brings us back to our roots: simple, small and personal.
The club has endured thanks to the pivotal contributions of our members throughout, founded on the following guiding principles:
Accessibility
Boxing is an amazing and challenging sport. Our primary goal is to make it accessible to you, no matter your background, gender, profession or other qualities.
Safety
Boxing can be a safe sport when practised conscientiously and under strict attention. We provide a safe environment for the positive qualities of boxing to emerge and flourish.
Perseverance
Boxing is hard. Our workouts are designed to push you to your personal physical limits. It requires hard work and consistency to survive, and we reinforce those principles throughout.
Facilitation
In the ring, you will eventually confront your mental, emotional and physical boundaries. We facilitate the journey to your limits and beyond.

About Boxing
Physical, mental, emotional boundaries
Boxing is an art and a science. The barriers a performance athlete confronts are both intrinsic and environmental. To challenge their limits, the athlete depends on practise, preparation, teamwork and coaching. The sport of boxing presents additional demands in the face of violence, physical harm and loss of agency. Our role is to facilitate and guide you as an athlete, to traverse your boundaries and master self.
