PARENTS' GUIDE TO KIDS BOXING NEAR SIDCUP
A parent-first route from Sidcup to the Kidbrooke junior class
Sidcup parents are usually checking three things before booking: whether the junior class is supervised, whether the first route fits their child's age, and whether the Kidbrooke gym is practical enough for regular training.
Junior Recreational is the normal scheduled group-class route for children aged 7 to 16. Parents can stay and watch, parking is on site, and the free trial is for the group class rather than private coaching.
If your child needs one-to-one support, individual correction or a quieter start, use the paid Sidcup personal training route. If they are ready for a group room, book the junior trial and use the first visit to judge supervision, instructions, parking and class fit.
WHAT SIDCUP PARENTS SHOULD CHECK
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 the paid Sidcup personal training route.
COMMUNITY VALUES
Start by checking age fit, parking, supervision and whether your child wants to return after seeing the coached junior room.
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.
CLASSES FOR YOUR CHILD
JUNIOR RECREATIONAL (7-16)
Coordination, movement and basic boxing technique, adapted by age and experience.
OLDER JUNIORS (10-16)
More technical detail, pad work, combinations and fitness, still without pressure to compete.
JUNIOR COMPETITIVE (10-16)
Competition pathway for dedicated young boxers. Amateur Boxing Alliance registered.
Sidcup parent checklist
Use the first junior trial to check fit, not promises
Watch how your child responds to the coach, whether they understand the drills and how the room handles different ages. A good first session should feel supervised, clear and controlled enough for your child to ask about coming back.
Also test the practical route from Sidcup. The class only works if parking, pick-up and the Kidbrooke gym setup fit your week. If private help is a better first step, keep that separate from the free group-class trial and use paid PT.

Junior sessions are run inside a structured club setting with safeguarding boundaries, coach supervision and clear expectations for behaviour. Children are not left to train unsupervised.
Class sizes are kept controlled so children can be coached properly. Parents are welcome to watch from the viewing area, especially during the first few sessions.
