Roccet Boxing

Three blocks from the East River waterfront, the brick-fronted storefront at 77 Front St. in Brooklyn looks like a relic from another era—except the sounds that spill onto the sidewalk anytime doors swing open are anything but quiet. Roccet Boxing runs group classes in striking drills, combat fitness, and technique refinement, drawing the same mix of weekday warriors and evening crews you might see queuing for the local coffee roaster two doors down.

Ring the bell at the buzzer by the yellow awning and you’ll find a program built around pad work, bag rounds, and controlled sparring—not a sales pitch, just a counter where you can settle in before the next session starts. Need a quick tune-up? They run intro classes that skip the hard sell and land straight in footwork and basic combinations. Veterans come for advanced pad flow, while the after-work crowd splits between body-weight circuits and head-gear rounds. A single call puts you on the roster; dial +1 347-639-2120 and leave a name—they’ll text the waiver before you even lace up.
