Parent-first junior route

Kids boxing near Shooters Hill

A clear way for Shooters Hill parents to test Junior Recreational before choosing regular boxing for a child or teenager.

For Shooters Hill parents, kids boxing should start with fit and safety, not hype. Honour and Glory runs junior boxing at the Kidbrooke gym, with Junior Recreational as the usual group-class start for children aged 7 to 16. The first session gives parents a practical way to judge whether the room, coaching style and travel work for the child.

A first class is not about rushing a child towards sparring or competition. It should show whether your child can listen, follow simple instructions and settle into stance, guard, footwork, bags and pads. That tells you more than a class name on its own.

Junior Competitive is a later pathway for young boxers who are ready for a more committed route. It is not the day-one promise. If your child needs a slower introduction, private correction or a family-specific arrangement, use the paid Shooters Hill personal training route or message before booking the group trial.

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 Shooters Hill PT route first.

If you are unsure, keep the first decision small: pick the route that matches the person training, check the travel plan from Shooters Hill, and use WhatsApp before booking if group class, paid PT, age fit or class pace needs a human answer.
