About ESB
Report
Eastside Boxing Club (ESB) is a not-for-profit gym located in the heart of Chinatown in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside that trains pro, amateur and recreational boxers. Dave Schuck founded the gym in 2012 after the closure of the Astoria Boxing Club where he was the head coach. In the beginning, ESB was faced with the financial struggles of finding a new space, purchasing equipment and having the capital to run a successful community gym.
