Power Rooted In Earth
HEX Boxing Club is a sanctuary for holistic boxing training, supportive community, and connection to Earth. A boutique boxing club within a private membership association centering women and gender‑expansive individuals, we teach boxing as both a healing practice and a disciplined craft, offering pro‑level skills alongside herbalism, meditation, and creative arts. Founded by author, herbalist, former fighter, and USA Boxing certified coach Vanessa Chakour, HEX offers integrated training, community space, and healing for inner and outer wilds.
Our Ethos
We’re stronger together. In today’s divisive sociopolitical landscape and increasingly loud virtual world, we need safe physical spaces where we can culivate resilience, constructively release pent‑up rage, and root our power in what is real. Spaces where grounded training awakens the innate strength of our earthly bodies in relationship with the living ecosystems that surround us. At HEX, we know our health and well‑being is inseparable from the health and well-being of Earth. The wild is not just “out there”, it is our flesh and bones.
Our Name
The word HEX carries history. Once ascribed to wise women who were stigmatized for their knowledge of plants, healing, and Earth-based ritual, we reclaim the word as a force of nature. The hexagon appears in honeycombs built by bees whose collective labor embodies organized feminine power and in cellular structures of plants who harness the energy of the sun. Nature returns to this geometry again and again because it is stable and resilient. At HEX Boxing Club, the balanced geometry of the hexagon guides how we build, move and grow together.
