We’re parents too

We understand your questions.

Is boxing right for my child?

My child has never done boxing. Are these classes for them?

Absolutely. The vast majority of children enrolled in our classes are discovering boxing for the first time. Everything is set up to let them learn the basics gradually, while having fun.

Will my child have to fight?

Not at all. The boxing classes for kids take place with no fighting and no contact between students, always under the trainer’s supervision.

My child already plays another sport. Can they also do boxing?

Of course! Many young people combine boxing with another sport. The recreational classes fit very well into their routine and make an excellent complement to their training.

My child is shy. Can boxing help them gain confidence?

Boxing can be a great way to help a child gain confidence. By learning new techniques and seeing their progress, many young people develop greater confidence in their abilities.

My child is bursting with energy. Can boxing be a good fit for them?

Absolutely! Boxing is an excellent sport for young people who love to move. The classes let them spend their energy in a structured setting while developing their concentration and self-control.

What should I expect?

What awaits my child at their first class?

After a group warm-up, the children for whom it’s a first class will be grouped together and the trainer will teach them the basics of boxing while the more experienced ones practise the same techniques more independently.

Since boxing is a sport in which the basics must be continually practised to avoid bad habits, it’s easy to join an existing group at any time. More playful games and activities are included to make the teaching more dynamic and to make sure fun is part of the experience, despite the seriousness and discipline that boxing requires.

And if my child doesn’t dare to take part, how does that go?

The trainer and the front-desk attendant will encourage them to take part by trying to build their confidence. The free trial class is precisely there to make sure your child feels good in the group and enjoys boxing before committing to any costs.

Are the children separated by age or by level?

All the children are grouped together since the ages (8 to 12) and levels are close. We very rarely have a child who is already at an advanced level at this age, and if that’s the case, the child instead chooses the competitive stream. If you have any doubts about your child’s level, write to us or call us, and we’ll take the time to assess with you the most appropriate path

What happens if my child has difficulty with certain exercises?

If it’s a physical-conditioning exercise, the trainer will suggest an easier version, which will let them progress over time and work up to the regular version. If it’s a boxing technique, the key lies in repeating the movements, and your child’s values of pushing themselves and perseverance will be called upon. It’s consistency and diligence that will let your child progress and build their confidence.

How does it work?

What equipment should I plan for?

For a trial class: none! We’ll lend your child the gloves and wraps they’ll need for the class. They’ll only need to bring clean indoor sports shoes, a padlock (if they use the locker room), a towel, a water bottle and light sportswear. After that, if your child wishes to continue, they’ll need their own gloves and wraps. Need a hand choosing equipment? Our team will be happy to advise you based on your budget and your child’s needs.

Can parents attend the classes?

Of course. The first classes are often as new for the parents as for the children! Once your child is more familiar with the environment, it’s suggested not to stay and watch, in order to develop their independence—a useful quality in boxing and in everyday life.

Can my child try a class before signing up?

Yes, and we encourage you to do so! A trial class is the best way to see if your child enjoys the experience and feels good in the group.
