Our story
It all began in 1984, with a trial session at the Rio de Mouro – Rinchoa – Mercês club under coach Silva Costa. Boxing went from curiosity to a lifelong passion.
Coaching qualifications followed, then almost four decades teaching educational boxing at clubs and gyms across the region. Ericeira Boxing Club grew out of that dream, with the support of family and friends who share the same passion and now sit on the club's board.
