There are very few spaces in Paris dedicated purely to combat sports. At Boxing Shop, it’s nothing but combat sports; Krav Maga, Thai, English, French boxing – among others. There's a staggering range of equipment and clothing for novices and professionals, including hanging and inflatable punch bags. And because this sort of thing involves a fair bit of protection, they all sell shields and padding for both men and women.
