Our Junior Boxing Lessons is the perfect boxing class for children to start learning to box without the worry of any contact or sparring. The class focuses on boxing techniques, fitness, and having fun. It is a mixed class for boys and girls aged 9-16 years old suitable for all levels from beginners upwards.
The Junior Boxing Lessons coaches will teach basic boxing techniques, shadow boxing, punchbag work, circuit training and skipping.
Please note that sparing is prohibited during these sessions. Once a child reaches a certain level of boxing experience, we can then invite them to attend our Empire ABC Junior Sessions in agreement with the parent or guardian.
Please check out our Guide to Getting Started before attending the gym for the first time. It’s important you sign your child up via our online membership prior to attending the first time to ensure all the necessary forms are completed. This saves a lot of time and delay when you attend the gym for the first time as our reception can be very busy.
£20.00 joining fee (includes a free Bristol Boxing Gym water bottle, hand wraps & a skipping rope). It’s vital your child has this equipment to ensure they can participate in all aspects of the class.
Once signed up to the membership, please then purchase the Junior Boxing Lessons £5 package that allows your child to attend for the week. You can then go to the Timetable or download the TeamUp Members app to your smart phone to register your child for the classes they will attend that week. This is the quickest and easiest way to sign up and register your child for classes each week and avoids any confusion at reception. Your child is only allowed to attend one junior class per day.
