Boxing popular among China's white-collar girls

Nowadays, girls are no longer satisfied with regular exercise in gyms. Boxing training after a long day of work has become a new lifestyle for career women in China’s first-tier cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. They share the motto of “Keep it real, stay with the fight!”

Mia, who enjoys boxing, said people who know little about boxing would take it as an aggressive sport. On the contrary, long-term boxing brings her inner peace. Boxing not only strengthens one’s body but helps relieve pressure. One can also make more friends and gain confidence.

Bodycombat has become the most popular boxing exercise, combining Chinese martial arts, Muay Thai, western boxing, karate, and taekwondo.
