Benefits of Boxing for Kids

Kids today spend large amounts of their time staring at a screen, despite studies suggesting that young people should spend a minimum of half an hour each day being active. Boxing can be an excellent way for your kids to stay active and give them something productive to do after school. Here are only some benefits you will notice when your kids start boxing:

Set Goals

Kids can learn how to set goals for themselves through boxing. Our Coaches can encourage achievements which however small, can make kids feel great. In this sport, kids are shown how to overcome challenges. All progress is recognised and rewarded when earned. At our Academy kids do not have to fight and/or win a tournament to feel good about achieving goals. However we do hold trials throughout the year for kids to join our Elite Fight Team should they wish to compete.

Focus

To be successful in boxing it requires intense concentration and it is physically demanding and through this, it can improve kids’ mental strength. Our training can also improve your kids’ attention in the classroom and thereby improve academic success.

Studies show that children who are physically active tend to concentrate better when facing challenges.

Self-defence

Fighting skills like hooks, uppercuts, and jabs can help your child defend themselves should they have to. Boxing teaches kids proper techniques that improve footwork and increase awareness and speed. Our Coaches always ensure kids understand organised fighting.

Instill Respect

Our curriculum teaches children to respect authority and their peers. Our Coaches teach self-respect and encourage kids to hold their head high at all times. Good sportsmanship is instilled early on at our Academy as we feel it is a valuable lesson for kids to learn. Our students understand the importance of winning and losing gracefully.

Build Confidence

Giving kids positive affirmations helps them to develop better self-esteem. Telling kids that you believe in their abilities sets them up for success. It helps them to stay motivated and builds character knowing they can persevere through tough situations.

Social Development

Training at our Academy encourage social skills through training and communicating with our other students. We end most classes with team playing games to encourage working together and improved communication skills. They may also get the opportunity to travel for tournaments, which gives them the chance to experience new surroundings. Leagues are usually categorised by age group, so your child can mix with people their age. They meet kids from different backgrounds and cherish memorable moments.

Discipline

One of the most important lessons kids learn from boxing is discipline. This sport demands mental and physical strength which we help our students to achieve.. They learn to respect the time and follow the rules and our training helps to change kids behaviour for the better and improves their mental focus.

Educational

Boxing sharpens kids’ problem-solving skills and teaches them about health and fitness. They can appreciate the importance of a healthy diet because of how it will improve their performance. Our Coaches teach proper form, which prevents injuries and young people remember these tools throughout their lives.
