Serious Boxing.
Serious Results.

The Olympic Boxing Programme is Maddog's elite, competitive track — full technical, tactical and conditioning preparation for athletes serious about competing. This is not a fitness class; it's a structured pathway built to develop fighters through to elite amateur and professional competition.

Coach Marcele's methodology combines traditional boxing fundamentals with modern conditioning, tactical preparation and fight intelligence — training fighters to understand why they're doing something in the ring, so they can adapt under pressure rather than relying on rehearsed combinations.
  • Full technical development — ring craft, movement, distance management
  • Tactical decision-making and defensive responsibility
  • Fight preparation — conditioning, strategy, meet-day readiness
  • A genuine pathway to national and Olympic-level competition

Private Training & Pad Work

Private Boxing Coaching.
Built Around You.

For competitive boxers, one-on-one coaching and pad work are essential tools for technical and tactical development. Every private session is designed around the individual boxer's style, strengths and areas that need work — not a generic template.

  • Improving punch accuracy, speed and combinations
  • Developing defensive reactions and counter-attacking
  • Improving footwork, distance and ring movement
  • Developing timing and rhythm
  • Building fight-specific conditioning
  • Practising tactical combinations and fight strategies
  • Correcting technical weaknesses
  • Preparing for specific opponents and competition

One-on-one training lets Coach Marcele closely monitor technique, fatigue and intensity throughout the session — suitable for complete beginners, fitness clients and competitive athletes alike, with every exercise modified to individual experience, ability and goals.
