At first, all you hear is breath.
Quick exhales. Soft footwork on the canvas. A glove brushing past skin.
Step into Round10 Boxing Club in Dubai and you’re stepping into a rhythm. Not just of fists and footwork, but of lives being shaped one jab at a time. This isn’t just a gym. It’s a place where the pulse of the city tightens its wraps and steps into the ring.
Here, under the blue ropes, the language is universal.
Confidence. Resilience. Respect.
Whether you're a kid lacing up gloves for the first time or a pro preparing for your next bout, the ritual is the same: focus, sweat, growth.
What struck me most as a photographer wasn’t the punch—it was the pause.
The moment before a hit lands. The bond between coach and student. The pride in the corner of a room where no spotlight shines. Round10 captures what most sports try to sell: authenticity. Real people. Real effort. Real transformation.
Each photograph I took carries more than composition—it carries heartbeat.
Of boys becoming men. Of women claiming space. Of strangers sparring with the better versions of themselves.
Round10 doesn’t just teach boxing.
It teaches you to show up.
