The discipline

HANDS UP.
FEET MOVING.

Kids boxing introduces the sweet science at a young age: stance, guard, footwork and the six punches. It is simple to start and deep enough to keep a child interested for years.

The class emphasises control and respect. Young students learn to throw with technique, keep their hands up and work with a partner without losing their temper.

Who it is for

  • Kids who want to learn to box.
  • Children who want a fast, active class.
  • Young students building coordination and discipline.
  • Families looking for a kids programme in East County.
