About Digna

Boxing has never been just a sport to me — it’s a way to create change, both inside and outside the ring.

At sixteen, I walked into VBSK Albert Cuyp, the boxing club known as the “Cradle of Champions,” and boxing changed my life. I went on to compete and become a multiple-time Dutch champion. Today, I’m the head coach at the same club where I started, training and guiding competitive boxers.

Nine years ago I started with boxing therapy: not a tool I picked up, but an extension of who I am. In the ring, it’s not only about winning. It’s about letting go, trusting your intuition and allowing yourself to surrender. Boxing becomes a mirror for the patterns in how you move, breathe and respond.

I also give seminars and certify coaches and professionals in systemic work and boxing therapy, with a focus on trauma, leadership, and working with vulnerable groups. Through my own company, Toko Din, I bring together coaching at the highest level of the sport and professional education.

    Services

    Boxing

    Personal training where every punch gets attention and guidance. Pad work, technique and conditioning, tailored to where you are now and where you want to go. Prefer to train together? Duo sessions, group training and online coaching are available too.

    Boxing therapy

    No sitting on a couch talking things through. This is a session in the ring, where you feel instead of just talk. Tension, control, letting go: things you can’t reason away, but that come to the surface when you put on the gloves. One session, half a day or a longer programme: you decide what you need.

    Training Programs

    From clinics, workshops and seminars to an officially recognised training programme in systemic boxing coaching. For systemic practitioners, coaches, therapists and other professionals who want to learn what the body reveals when words fall short. Tailored programmes are also available for schools, businesses and organisations.
