RASEL HECHAVARRIA COMPANY

Unleash your inner Olympian and join our Cuban Boxing Camp, located in the heart of Havana, Cuba. 

An overview of the training camp can be found below followed by details on price and how to pay.  Please note that the price does not include your flight costs and Tourist visa which you will have to arrange separately.

The camp caters to boxing enthusiasts of all levels, from beginners to professional athletes and is based on the Cuban boxing coaching system. You will be trained by Cuban coaches alongside Cuban boxers at national level to ensure you experience the highest level of training.

The coaching programme is led by Cuban national Rasel Hechavarria Compañy who is a qualified professional and amateur coach now based in London. The intense daily sessions will include technical drills, Cuban Combat school and conditioning and fitness.

The training will be based at Rafael Trejo, one of Cuba's most famed boxing gyms, and will also include a visit to elite boxing academies and a day training on the beach. 

In addition we include sparring opportunities and included in the price is the organisation and refereeing of sparring sessions as well as matching you with a Cuban boxer.  There is a fee of  $10/€10 to be paid directly to the Cuban boxer but everything else is included in the price.

You can also have 1-1 sessions with any of the Cuban coaches for a reduced price of $10/€10 per hour.

Please note that the start day of the camp is a Sunday to allow you to settle in to your accommodation. Training is every Monday - Saturday but the coaches are available for extra 1-1 sessions on Sundays if you want.

Accommodation is arranged in Casas Particulares which are like Bed and Breakfast. T hey are licensed Cuban homes in the heart of the boxing neighbourhood which offers a uniquely authentic experience.  It also means that the money goes straight back to the Cuban people and directly supports numerous families.  We highly recommend this as our previous clients frequently rate their experience in the casa to be one of the best parts of the trip.

If you do want a different type of accommodation we can provide a list of other options on request. 

There are many local Cuban cafés in the area and we will provide you with a list of restaurants and places to eat.  The group typically heads to a café near the gym after training which often has live music and serves sandwiches, pixies and traditional Cuban food.

We also organise several group dinners during the week to give you the opportunity to discover different restaurants and take the hassle out of organising dinner. It is a great opportunity to enjoy down time with your fellow travellers and the coaches at the end of the day. This is completely optional though.

A group salsa class is included in the price and for many this was one of the highlights! For those of you that want to explore Havana by night we also are on hand to organise a night out at a salsa club where you can put your new moves into practice. 

There are many other excursions available such as a day trip to Viñales where you will take a horseback ride to a tobacco farm, jump into a waterfall and eat with the locals.  We also have Classic car tours around Havana and or cycling tours if you still have energy for something active. We will send details on this nearer the time.
