BOXING BENEFITS

FITNESS

The session enhances the basic fitness of the participant (aerobic, anaerobic, core strength , flexibility etc) by utilising a range of bodyweight circuit exercises and punching combinations on the bag and pads.

TECHNICAL

Every child will get to work on their boxing technique with the coaches focusing on the boxing basics of guard, footwork and strikes with drills on the bag and pads, shadow boxing and other drill work with partners in a non sparring environment.

CONFIDENCE

If you have a child who is interested in boxing, you can help them explore it. For kids, boxing is not only an amazing sport, but it can also teach them a lot about conflict resolution, negotiation and result, power of will, and confidence.

DISCIPLINE

Boxing has a philosophical side to it. Learning how to withstand adversity, how to work out aggression in a healthy way, and how to keep a cool mind are all real and useful lessons that transcend the sport.
