Kids Boxing.
Kid Box is boxing for ages 5 to 12, taught the right way: stance, footwork, punches and defense, with the structure and encouragement kids need to stick with something hard.
Why boxing for kids
King James believes boxing builds discipline, structure and toughness, and nowhere does that show faster than in a kid. Boxing gives them a clear set of skills to practise and a coach who notices when they get better. They learn to listen, to try again, and to be proud of effort rather than luck.
It is also a brilliant way to burn energy. Footwork ladders, bag rounds and partner drills keep kids moving for the whole class, and they leave tired in the best way.
What they work on
- Stance and footworkHow to stand, move and stay balanced, drilled on the footwork ladders until it is second nature.
- PunchesThe jab, the cross, hooks and uppercuts, thrown with good form into mitts and bags.
- DefenseKeeping the guard up, slipping and blocking, because boxing is about not getting hit.
- FitnessCoordination, speed and stamina built through games, drills and short rounds.
- CharacterRespect for coaches and teammates, listening the first time, and finishing what you start.
