My son Ethan has done the Fight Fit kids boxing class for the past two years. In that time, I have seen such a huge improvement in not only his fitness, but also his confidence and interpersonal skills.
The trainers, Sam and Shek are amazing in their approach to the classes. The children love them. The way they greet each child personally, shake hands and communicate with them is outstanding.
The classes themselves are full of hard work and fun. The kids are put through age appropriate strength drills such as planks, crunches, push ups and foot work etc. Then comes the technical side of the class, learning the correct technique in punching (this is a non contact class so the kids don't spar with each other) and feet placement. Then the awesome benefits of putting all this together forming the cardio element of the class. The communication between trainer and parent is fantastic and there have been many times staff have stayed back to answer my technical questions about boxing. We drive from the south east suburbs to Fight Fit (takes about 45-50 mins) each week purely because the class and trainers are so good. I highly recommend EVERY child do this class. It covers every aspect....health and fitness, self defence, communication and interpersonal skills, all in a safe learning environment.
