KIDBROOKE PARENTS' GUIDE TO KIDS BOXING

What to expect from junior boxing at the Kidbrooke gym

Kidbrooke parents are choosing a room as much as an activity. The gym is on Broad Walk, so the first visit should answer the practical questions quickly: who is coaching, how the class is structured and whether your child settles into the instructions.

Junior Recreational starts from age 7 and is the normal first step. Parents can stay and watch, parking is on site, and the free trial is for the scheduled group class rather than private coaching.

WHY KIDBROOKE PARENTS CHOOSE US

COACHED JUNIOR SESSIONS

Junior sessions are supervised, structured and run with safeguarding boundaries. Your child is coached through the basics rather than left to copy older boxers.

STRUCTURED CLASSES

Sessions follow a clear structure: warm-up, technique work, pad rounds, and conditioning. Children start with Junior Recreational (7-16), with Junior Competitive (10-16) available for boxers on the competitive pathway.

NO CONTRACTS

Check the current prices page for group-class pricing. No joining fees, no monthly contracts and a free scheduled group-class trial before you decide. If your child needs private support before joining a group, use paid personal training.

COMMUNITY VALUES

Many members stay because the room feels structured, familiar and rooted in the local club rather than a one-off activity slot.

WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN

Junior boxing is more than hitting things. Children at Honour and Glory practise footwork, balance, timing and movement through drills, bags and pads.

The non-physical side matters too: listening to instructions, respecting training partners, controlling effort and staying calm in a busy room. Parents often tell us those habits show up outside the gym too.

For children who want to compete, there is a pathway through the Junior Competitive pathway. There is no pressure to fight. Many juniors train for routine, fitness, skill and because they enjoy the club.
