For Parents
Why Kids Boxing
Builds More Than Fitness.
Discipline
Focus & Respect
Structured coaching, clear boundaries and real effort — habits that carry straight into school and home life.
Confidence
Earned, Not Given
Progress in boxing is visible and measurable — kids build real, earned confidence session by session.
Fitness
A Genuine Workout
Pad work and conditioning drills build coordination, cardiovascular fitness and body control.
Safety
Supervised & Age-Appropriate
Every session is coached and paced for this age group specifically — no full-contact sparring involved.
Pathway
Room to Go Further
Kids who want to compete have a direct pathway into Maddog's Olympic Boxing Programme.
Community
A Positive Peer Group
Training alongside the same group of kids builds friendships and a genuine sense of team.
Emotional Control
A Healthy Outlet
A structured way to burn off energy and channel frustration — kids learn to stay calm under pressure instead of reacting on impulse.
Resilience
Growth Through Setbacks
Not every skill comes easily on the first try. Working through that builds real resilience — a mindset that carries into school and life.

A Proven Record
A Proven Record
Developing Youth.
One of Coach Marcele's greatest achievements has been developing exceptional young talent — including a standout youth heavyweight who has remained undefeated, defeated national champions, and is being prepared for the Olympic pathway.
Marcele started boxing at seven himself, taught by his grandfather. Growing up, boxing taught him to stand up for himself and gave him discipline and confidence — which is why he believes boxing is a vehicle for discipline, confidence and opportunity for young athletes, a philosophy that shapes every Kids Boxing class from day one.
