Our Story
Royal Boxing Club: Two Decades of Purpose-Driven Boxing in Barcelona
Behind every punch, every breath, and every step inside the ring, there’s a story.
Ours has been written for over two decades—with discipline, passion, and purpose.
Royal Boxing Club was founded in Barcelona in 2009 by Rubén Valcárcel, a pioneer in teaching boxing as a path of personal transformation.
With more than 25 years of experience in boxing and combat sports, Rubén didn’t just train, compete, and learn from the best—he found in this discipline his life’s true calling.
A path not built on privilege, but on choice. On vocation. On the strength of someone who forges himself.
His training with Xavi Moya, a national boxing icon, was key to understanding that boxing is not just about technique or physical effort— It is a school of life. A powerful tool to focus energy, build direction, shape character, and cultivate real confidence.
Far from privilege or clichés, Rubén knew from the beginning that real talent lies in teaching with depth—with respect, with high standards, and with authentic purpose.
A Unique Boxing Philosophy in Barcelona
From day one, Royal Boxing Club set out to restore boxing’s dignity—
To bring it back to what it once was: a noble, elegant, and accessible art.
Free from clichés. Close to people.
That’s why we were the first to reintroduce it in Barcelona—not as a violent spectacle or an elite-only sport, but as a living, refined practice capable of elevating everyone who steps into it.
Since 2009, Royal Boxing Club has become a benchmark for its teaching style—rooted in technique, soul, and purpose.
Thousands have trained with us and discovered that training well is only the beginning.
True transformation is the real goal.
Our philosophy has always been clear:
It’s not about being better than others.
It’s about being better than yourself.
Every day. Every class. Every breath.

The Corner was born from a clear vision: the natural need to offer boxing in its most refined, focused, and complete form.
It is the evolution of years of experience and excellence in the field—and a reflection of a new standard in the world of combat sports.
Launched in 2025 in the Sarrià–Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona, The Corner is a boutique boxing gym with a unique philosophy:
small group classes, personalized coaching, and an exclusive environment where body, mind, and energy align from the very first minute.
You won’t find generic workouts or one-size-fits-all programs here.
At The Corner, training is intentional, technical, and purpose-driven.
This space is the result of nearly two decades of evolution, refinement, and deep passion for teaching.
It is the culmination of a journey marked by mastery—
and at the same time, the starting point for those who seek something more.
A club for those who train differently. For those who live differently.
