KBW takes its name from Khalid ibn al-Walid (RA), one of the greatest military commanders in history. A companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, he was given the title Sayfullah – “the Sword of Allah” – after the Battle of Mu’tah in 629 CE, where he took command in the most desperate circumstances and led the army safely home against a far larger force.
Across around a hundred battles he is remembered as never having been defeated, and his victory at Yarmouk in 636 CE is still studied for its discipline, preparation and tactical brilliance. Yet his character is what endures most: when Caliph Umar (RA) relieved him of overall command, he carried on serving as an ordinary soldier, reportedly saying that he fought for the sake of Allah, not for Umar.
That is the spirit we train with at KBW – courage under pressure, relentless preparation, discipline, and the humility to keep learning, in the ring and in life.
Stepping forward under pressure, whatever the odds.
Preparation, patience and a plan for every round.
Showing up, training hard and doing the basics well.
Serving the team and always willing to keep learning.
KBW started with a simple goal: a welcoming boxing club where anyone can train, whatever their age or experience. Today we are an England Boxing-approved club running senior boxing, junior boxing, HIIT and boot-camp sessions, led by head coach Tanny Hussain.
Community is at the heart of everything we do. For five years the KBW Foundation has delivered local community events and projects, taken part in charity fundraisers in the UK and overseas, and run awareness campaigns including our anti-bullying awareness day.
