Proper boxing training for ages 7-16. ABA affiliated, DBS checked coaches.
Kids boxing at H&G starts with a coached Junior Recreational route for ages 7-16. It is the right first page for parents near Kidbrooke, Kidbrooke Village, Greenwich, Blackheath, Lewisham and Eltham who want proper boxing, clear supervision and a sensible first trial.
If you searched for kids boxing classes near me, use this page to check the class route, travel options and free junior trial. If you are still deciding whether your child is ready, read what age children can start boxing.
If they are ready to try a session, book the free kids trial. If they keep training, use our kids boxing gloves guide before buying. Fit and weight matter more than the logo.
Children get a clear place to learn, listen and improve. The confidence comes from small coached wins: stance, balance, pad work and knowing what to do next.
Sessions are structured and coach-led. Children are expected to listen, respect the room, work safely and build habits they can repeat.
Skipping, pad work, bag work and footwork drills give children a demanding session without turning the class into a loose fitness game.
We are a community club, not a chain gym. Juniors train in a room with standards, regular coaches and parents welcome to watch.

Good hard working session. Good vibes. 100% recommend it. Website is very good too. They actually have a boxing gym finder so you can find other gyms near you, which I thought was class. All in all a great boxing gym.

I had a wonderful experience here. The trainers here are the real deal. They don't just shout "punch harder" they actually focus on technique, footwork, and head movement. As a beginner, I felt supported and safe; as I progressed, they knew exactly how to push me past my limits.

Had a great 1 on 1 session with Anton. I’m new to boxing, this was my first time doing it and learnt a lot in the first class already. I’ve been trying to find some form of exercise that I want to commit to weekly and seriously think I’ve found it here. The gym is a great set up with lots of equipment and also very clean. Definitely will be coming back.

This place is amazing!!! The gym had a pure, raw, passionate energy as I walked in. The work that these guys put in, especially to the kids program seems unmatched in any other boxing gym I've been to. Wellbonds Scaffolding have now decided to step in and offer sponsorship as we were that impressed. Definitely recommended

I've been to a few other clubs in the area, and found that they weren't particularly welcoming to new members (cliques and attitude/ego issues). H&G have been an absolutely lovely bunch - I've had a great time both coaching and training at the club and Anton in particular has been a star at making new members feel welcome, included and properly coached/onboarded whether they're there for fitness or to compete. Would highly recommend H&G to anyone within a 30 minute drive (I come in from Abbey Wood, where we have a bit of a drought of welcoming local clubs).

If you’re looking for a boxing gym that welcomes everyone, this is the place. The club has a really inclusive feel, whether you’re a complete beginner or have been boxing for years. The coaching is excellent—clear, encouraging, and focused on helping you steadily improve your skills and confidence in the ring. There’s also plenty of equipment, and the sessions always feel well organised. What really stands out is the atmosphere. It’s friendly, supportive, and genuinely motivating. A great place to train, learn proper boxing, and be part of a positive community.
Parent routes
Junior Recreational is the default first step. These routes help parents choose the right supporting page before booking.
Use the parent route guide if your child needs extra confidence, structure or a gentler first visit.
Best for most children aged 7-16 who want to try boxing without competition pressure.
Only for children who want to compete and are ready for a coach-led progression.
Structured, beginner-friendly boxing for ages 7-16. Younger children are introduced carefully, older children build proper technique, and there is no pressure to compete.
For children who already want to compete and are ready for a coach-led step up. Technique, conditioning and controlled contact progress gradually.
Progression example

FIRST AID TRAINED
Qualified first aiders present at every session
Non-contact boxing for children involves no punching between participants. Children work on bags, pads with coaches, and shadow drills. There is no sparring in Junior Recreational. Junior Competitive introduces competition skills only when the coaches decide a young boxer is ready. Junior Recreational is non-contact: children work on bags, pads and drills, with no sparring. Coaches supervise the session and introduce contact only in the competitive pathway when appropriate.
We accept children from age 7. Junior Recreational now covers ages 7 to 16, with younger children eased in carefully and older children challenged more technically. From age 10, children who want to compete can also move into Junior Competitive. For the full parent answer, read what age children can start boxing.
No. The majority of our junior members train purely for fitness, confidence, and enjoyment. Competition is available through our Junior Competitive pathway for children who want it, but it is never expected or encouraged as a default. Your child leads on whether they want to take that step.
For the first session, sportswear and clean trainers is all they need. We provide gloves and any other equipment for the trial. Once they join, you will need to buy hand wraps and a gumshield (around £10-15 total). Gloves can be provided by the club in the early weeks while you decide what fits. We will advise on what to buy and when.
Yes. Parents are welcome to stay and watch at every session. We ask that parents let the coaches do their job without interference during the session itself, but you are absolutely welcome to be present. Many parents find they enjoy watching as much as their children enjoy training.
Start with Junior Recreational and tell us before the trial. Coaches can keep the first visit simple, avoid putting the child on the spot, and let confidence build gradually. If you want the fuller parent route, use the parent guide.
Most children should try Junior Recreational first. If a group start would be too much, ask about 1-to-1 coaching before moving into the group.
Junior Recreational is £8.50 per session. Competitive squad pricing may differ once a boxer has progressed. There is no joining fee and no contract. The first session is free so you can come along and see whether it is the right fit before committing to anything. We are a community club and keep pricing accessible by design.
Every coach at Honour and Glory holds a current DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate and is ABA/Alliance credentialed. The club is ABA affiliated and follows all safeguarding guidelines required for junior boxing in the UK. Safeguarding documentation is available on request.
Book your child in for a trial session. No commitment, no sign-up fee. Come in sportswear and trainers - we provide everything else.
