We're in the business of building dangerous young humans.
Not dangerous in the way that most people think, but dangerous because they're confident, capable, resilient, and brave enough to be kind. Dangerous because they can stand tall, face challenges head-on, and have the courage to speak up when something's wrong.
Our kids' program isn't just about punches and head movement; it's about shaping strong character, self-belief, and discipline that carries far beyond the gym. We're teaching the next generation to be good heroes who can handle themselves when they need to.
So become a part of the Box & Breathe community, where strength, respect, and growth start from day one.
Who it's for
Kids aged 4 to 13 who want to learn real boxing skills in a safe, structured class. No experience needed.
It is built for confidence, focus and discipline as much as fitness. Shy kids come out of their shell and busy kids learn to channel their energy. Coaches keep it fun and keep it controlled.
Age groups
- Junior Ages 4 to 6
- Senior Ages 7 to 9
- Youth Ages 10 to 13
The shirt system
Every kid in the program earns their way through the Box & Breathe shirt system. Six shirts. Each one marks real progress, in their boxing and in the kind of person they're becoming. We've run it for more than six years, and kids wear their shirt with pride.
-
Blue
Foundations of effort and respect.
The starting point. Learning stance, movement and the first punches. At this stage effort matters more than outcome.
-
Purple
Understanding and emerging leadership.
They know what they're doing and why. Jab, cross, hooks, basic defence, and the first signs of leadership in how they treat teammates.
-
Green
Curiosity, adaptability and teaching.
The shift from learning boxing to studying it. Experimenting with rhythm, timing and angles, and helping newer kids find their feet.
-
Brown
Awareness, angles and contribution.
A major step. Range, positioning and moving with intention, plus real pride in helping others succeed. Leadership is service, not status.
-
Red
Personal style and deep understanding.
Their own way of boxing, built around their body and mindset. Calm decisions, confidence without ego, respect for the craft.
-
Black
Mastery, versatility and mentorship.
Not an end goal, a responsibility. They can box, they can teach it, and they protect the culture of the gym.
Ask the coach where your kid sits on the pathway. Every child knows what their next shirt asks of them.

Questions
What ages do you take?
Kids from 4 to 13, split into Junior (4 to 6), Senior (7 to 9) and Youth (10 to 13) so they train with kids their own age and stage.
Is it safe? Will my kid get hit?
Kids classes are about skill, not contact. They learn technique, footwork and pad work in a supervised, controlled class. The kids do not hit each other.
My child has never boxed. Is that ok?
That is most kids who start. The coaches teach from the ground up and keep it fun while they learn the fundamentals.
Do they need their own gear?
No. We provide gloves to get started. If your child sticks with it you can sort their own gloves and wraps later.
