Pull your punches: join us for a knockout free drop in session (21:50 - onwards in Waterside 1) channelling your killer instinct with a fun, confidence-building boxing taster session inspired by The Fits, plus brownies, smoothies, and pancakes to keep your inner boxing badass well fuelled. Everyone welcome, no matter your age or experience.

The session follows the 20:30 screening of The Fits, a gorgeous coming of age tale about an 11-year-old tomboy who finds herself torn between the masculine world of boxing and the more feminine world of dancing - only to see members of the dance team suffer from strange fitting episodes. It's a great look at this male and female contrast, community and the sweat and passion of athleticism.

The film will be introduced by some special guests including local boxing coach Justin Williams from Empire Boxing gym and Claire Nichols, the Bristol representative for 'This Girl Can' - both will give us some insights into the world of athletics in Bristol. Afterwards join us in W1 to meet the Rife Magazine crew to chat about the film, talk with our guest athlete, and get physical with a 'fists at the ready' boxing taster session.

We'll be putting on a free tasty spread of pancakes (it is Pancake Day after all), smoothies and brownies, which you can enjoy to the energising girl-power grooves of Maya Gamble.

We'll have all the kit, just wear what you feel comfortable in and bring an open mind. No experience necessary, anyone can box - we'll show you how! The boxing and food evening is free but ticket holders for the Tue 28 Feb 20:30 screening of The Fits will get priority entry (there's limited capacity) so grab them now and see you in the (friendly) ring (we mean W1). Film tickets at Watershed are just £4.50 for anyone aged 24 and under.

This event is presented as part of Bristol 2017 European City of Sport in partnership with This Girl Can.
