Boxing for children is not just a sport but an exciting adventure that helps kids become stronger, more confident, and disciplined. Our boxing classes for children aged 6 and up include training in a playful format, general physical conditioning, and coordination development.
Why is it Important to Play Sports from Childhood?
Physical Development
Strength, endurance, and coordination are improved. The musculoskeletal system functions better, and proper posture is formed.
Psychological Development
The child gains confidence, learns to manage emotions such as fear or aggression, and develops a habit of overcoming challenges.
Social Skills
Children learn to work in a team and respect others, developing self-control skills. They understand the importance of following rules and discipline.
We understand that at the age of 6, children are just beginning their journey into sports. That’s why our training sessions are tailored to their age and abilities.
Warm-Up Games
Playful exercises help children warm up, improve coordination, and enjoy the process.
General Physical Fitness
A significant focus is placed on general physical preparation to help children become stronger and more resilient.
Basic Boxing Elements
We teach children the correct stance, fundamental punches, and movements. These are essential skills that will benefit them in the future.
Coordination Exercises
The training includes activities to develop footwork, balance, and dodging skills.
Interactive Partner Exercises
Children practice working in pairs, focusing on dodging, defense, and light touches.
Cool Down
A light stretching session, breath stabilization, and a discussion of the child’s progress with parents conclude the training.

Children spend most of their time on gadgets today. The lack of physical activity leads to reduced concentration and health problems. Boxing not only addresses these issues but also lays the foundation for a child’s harmonious development.
