    Queerboxing

    Lola Lieven, Rodenrijsstraat 43, Amsterdam

    Boxing is from and for everyone!

    That's why we are introducing our specially tailored FREE Queer Classes These classes are specifically for anyone under the queer umbrella. Our queer classes are specifically aimed at rookies but everyone is welcome.

    Boxing gear available and bring your own if you have.

    Queerboxing offers free boxing classes for anyone who wants to learn or try boxing in a safer, community-focused space. Our class is called Basic Bitch Boxing, in the most positive sense of the word. Itā€™s about doing something we might not be good at yet but being brave enough to try anyway.

    We embrace the idea that itā€™s okay to be a ā€œbasic bitchā€ sometimes. You donā€™t have to know everything or be strong or experienced. Trying, showing up, and showing up for yourself is what counts. No experience is needed, everyone can box. These lessons are especially suitable for people who are new to boxing, but if youā€™re more advanced, itā€™s a great way to get your basics back on track and practice your foundation.

    Everyone deserves to feel safe. We aim to create a space where you can learn to box, build confidence, and hopefully feel a little safer in your body and in the world. Itā€™s also a place to meet community, where friendships can grow.

    If you have any injuries, limitations, or access needs, please let the trainer know in advance so we can adapt the exercises where possible.

    What can you expect?

    • The head trainer is Louie Tas @documenting_Louie
    • Sometimes we have our backup bitches River Adomeit: @riveradomeit

    and Jay Muller @Upperkut_jay

    • Classes are free. No sign-up required, just show up.
    • We always begin with a check-in circle (name, pronouns, and how youā€™re feeling).
    • Then we do a collective breath, warm-up, and start the lesson.
    • We finish with a cool-down, stretching, breathing, and check-out.

    What do you need?

    • We have boxing gear available, but if you have your own, please bring it.
    • We sell hand wraps if you want a pair. Otherwise, we provide hygiene gloves.
    • For the Thursday class, please bring indoor sports shoes, as there are no mats.

    Accessibility

    • The thursday class is physically accessible for wheelchairs.
    • The training itself is not specifically designed for wheelchair users, and we have limited experience with that, but we are open to improvising together. You are very welcome.
    • Toilets and changing spaces are gender neutral.
    • Changing spaces are improvised (toilet, greenhouse, or behind a curtain), so itā€™s best to arrive dressed for training.

    Language

    • If there is at least one English-speaking participant, the class is taught fully in English.
    • If you donā€™t speak English, weā€™ll pair you with someone who can help translate.

    Photo & privacy policy

    • You may take photos or videos only with the consent of everyone involved and a clear reason for use.
    • If we take photos or videos during class, we will always ask for consent before sharing them on Instagram.

    Donations

    • Classes are free, but donations are very welcome.
    • We usually save up for things like mats or new equipment, so your support helps a lot.
    • Please donā€™t let money be a barrier to joining.

    • For updates, follow our Instagram or join our WhatsApp or Signal groups.

    House rules

    • Be on time.
    • Everyone helps clean the equipment, and space.
    • No discrimination of any kind: racism, transphobia, sexism, ableism, ageism, homophobia, or any other exclusionary behavior.
    • If we make mistakes, we repair them together.
    • No macho behavior or big egos. We help each other grow. Vulnerability is strength.
    • Respect the trainer as theyā€™re volunteering their time to teach this class.

    Whether you're lacing up your running shoes for the first time or you're an experienced runner seeking companionship and a way to enhance your skills, our interval sessions are designed for you. These sessions provide a supportive and inclusive environment, tailored specifically for the queer community.

  10. Chess Beginner Lessons

    Chess Beginner Lessons

    Klup, Tweede Schinkelstraat 26h, Amsterdam

    On Wednesday, 11 November, De Queer Schaakclub is back with another chess beginner lesson. This time, we're diving into one of the most important (and satisfying) skills in chess: CHECKMATE. ā™Ÿļø

    You'll learn how to recognize mating patterns, deliver checkmate, and use checkmate threats to gain an advantage. Because sometimes the threat is even stronger than the move itself.

    Completely new to chess? You're very welcome too. With two coaches, we'll split into groups. So whether you're completely new or already know your way around the board, there's something to learn.

    As always, everyone is welcome, queer or ally.

    Doors open at 0745PM. We start at 8PM.
    KLUP, Tweede Schinkelstraat 26h, Amsterdam.

    This lesson is free for members. We ask a donation of ā‚¬5 or more (pay what you can) from non-members.

    Boxing is from and for everyone!

    That's why we are introducing our specially tailored FREE Queer Classes These classes are specifically for anyone under the queer umbrella. Our queer classes are specifically aimed at rookies but everyone is welcome.

    Boxing gear available and bring your own if you have.

    Queerboxing offers free boxing classes for anyone who wants to learn or try boxing in a safer, community-focused space. Our class is called Basic Bitch Boxing, in the most positive sense of the word. Itā€™s about doing something we might not be good at yet but being brave enough to try anyway.

    We embrace the idea that itā€™s okay to be a ā€œbasic bitchā€ sometimes. You donā€™t have to know everything or be strong or experienced. Trying, showing up, and showing up for yourself is what counts. No experience is needed, everyone can box. These lessons are especially suitable for people who are new to boxing, but if youā€™re more advanced, itā€™s a great way to get your basics back on track and practice your foundation.

    Everyone deserves to feel safe. We aim to create a space where you can learn to box, build confidence, and hopefully feel a little safer in your body and in the world. Itā€™s also a place to meet community, where friendships can grow.

    If you have any injuries, limitations, or access needs, please let the trainer know in advance so we can adapt the exercises where possible.

    What can you expect?

    • The head trainer is Louie Tas @documenting_Louie
    • Sometimes we have our backup bitches River Adomeit: @riveradomeit

    and Jay Muller @Upperkut_jay

    • Classes are free. No sign-up required, just show up.
    • We always begin with a check-in circle (name, pronouns, and how youā€™re feeling).
    • Then we do a collective breath, warm-up, and start the lesson.
    • We finish with a cool-down, stretching, breathing, and check-out.

    What do you need?

    • We have boxing gear available, but if you have your own, please bring it.
    • We sell hand wraps if you want a pair. Otherwise, we provide hygiene gloves.
    • For the Thursday class, please bring indoor sports shoes, as there are no mats.

    Accessibility

    • The thursday class is physically accessible for wheelchairs.
    • The training itself is not specifically designed for wheelchair users, and we have limited experience with that, but we are open to improvising together. You are very welcome.
    • Toilets and changing spaces are gender neutral.
    • Changing spaces are improvised (toilet, greenhouse, or behind a curtain), so itā€™s best to arrive dressed for training.

    Whether you're lacing up your running shoes for the first time or you're an experienced runner seeking companionship and a way to enhance your skills, our interval sessions are designed for you. These sessions provide a supportive and inclusive environment, tailored specifically for the queer community. They feature a mix of fast-paced intervalsā€”ranging from 200m to 800mā€”with slow recovery runs in between. These intervals are key to developing speed endurance, meaning regular participation can help you run faster for longer periods. We rotate our starting locations between the We Are Queer gym in East and the We Are Queer gym in West. Join us to push your limits, set and achieve tangible goals, and celebrate every milestone along the way. Embark on your running adventure with us and experience the fulfillment of reaching your fitness milestones together!
