Our Story
The Story of Royal Boxing Club – Boxing with Purpose in Barcelona
Behind every punch, every breath, and every step inside the ring, there’s a story.
Ours has been unfolding for more than 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 to personal transformation.
With over 25 years of experience in boxing and combat sports, Rubén didn’t just train, compete, and learn from the best—he discovered in this discipline his true life path.
A path not shaped by privilege, but by choice. By vocation. By the strength of someone who builds himself from the ground up.
His training with Xavi Moya, a national icon in Spanish boxing, was a turning point. It taught him that boxing is not only about physical effort or technical skill—
It is a school of life, a tool to focus energy, to build direction, character, and confidence.
Far from privilege or clichés, Rubén understood from day one that true talent lies in teaching deeply—with respect, with rigor, and with purpose.
A Unique Boxing Philosophy in Barcelona
From the beginning, Royal Boxing Club set out to restore boxing to its rightful place.
To bring back what it once was: a noble, elegant, and accessible art.
Far from stereotypes. Close to people.
That’s why we were the first to reintroduce it in Barcelona—not as a violent spectacle or a sport reserved for professionals, but as a refined, living practice capable of elevating anyone who steps into the ring.
Since 2009, Royal Boxing Club has become a benchmark in Barcelona’s boxing scene thanks to its way of teaching—with technique, soul, and purpose. Many have trained with us and discovered that training well is just the beginning.
Transformation is the true goal.
Our philosophy has always been clear:
It’s not about being better than anyone else.
It’s about being better than yourself.
Every day. Every class. Every breath.
