Boxing for Lee parents

A practical guide for Lee parents deciding whether junior boxing at the Kidbrooke gym is right for their child.

Lee parents are usually trying to answer a practical question: will this class suit my child? Honour and Glory runs junior boxing at the Kidbrooke gym, close enough for Lee families to test with a free group-class trial before choosing regular training.

The normal starting point is Junior Recreational for children aged 7 to 16. The first class is not about rushing a child towards sparring or competition. It is about listening, stance, balance, guard, footwork, bags, pads and controlled effort in a supervised room. Parents can use that first session to judge whether the structure works.

If your child is nervous, very new to group sport, older and already ambitious, or likely to need more individual correction, ask before booking. The free trial is for group classes. Paid PT is available as a separate route for children who need a private start or focused support.

Use the links below to choose by person and purpose before booking. If you are choosing for a child, start with the junior route. If you are new as an adult, start with the beginner route. If you want women-specific training, use the women's route. If price or private coaching matters, check the current prices or the Lee PT route first.

Choose the right first route

Junior Recreational

The normal group-class start for children aged 7 to 16. Use it to test listening, coach fit, movement and the class environment.

Junior route

Junior Competitive later

A more committed pathway can be discussed later for children who are ready. It should not be treated as the first-session promise.

Paid PT for specific needs

Use PT if your child needs a quieter start, individual correction, family scheduling or a more controlled introduction.

Lee PT

Plan the first visit from Lee

The Kidbrooke gym is at 122 Broad Walk, SE3 8ND. From Lee, the simplest checks are the one-stop train to Kidbrooke and the final walk, local buses towards Kidbrooke, or the car route with venue parking. If travel, price or class fit is uncertain, message before booking.

Parent checklist

Watch whether your child listens, follows instructions, handles the pace, feels safe and responds to correction. That is the real value of the first trial.

Travel and parking

Lee has a one-stop train link to Kidbrooke. If driving, use Lee Green or the A2 approach and venue parking at the club.

When not to book yet

Message first if you are unsure about age fit, group readiness or whether paid one-to-one coaching would be better.
