Improve your Health, Fitness and Well Being
“I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion’.” - Muhammad Ali
There really is nothing like boxing training to improve your overall fitness levels, improve your mental health, cardiovascular health, reduce stress, and increase your self esteem.
Our sessions provide a full body workout that will tone your muscles, burn calories, and build endurance.
We will push you to your limits as each session is designed to emulate the way a professional boxer will train. The workouts are intense and challenging but, fun and extremely rewarding. Everyone supports and encourages each other along the way and, despite how hard it feels, there is always someone there to help and support you.
Learn to Box
'The Sweet Science'
"Boxing is the sweet science. You hit and not get hit." - Bernard Hopkins
Each of our sessions are, simply put, designed to teach you how to box. Some sessions will focus more on Strength and Conditioning elements, whilst others will have a more technical theme.
Throughout your journey with Ol' Man Boxing, you will be taught the fundamentals. Stance, hand positioning, movement and punching technique. As you progress, we will add to your skillset, helping you improve and develop a higher boxing IQ.
Remember, boxing really is a science and to attain the skills to become a competent boxer requires hard work, dedication and patience. Even the basic fundamental skills can sometimes take a while to sink in so, don't be disheartened if it doesn't work first time. We will be there to guide, support and encourage you at your pace to ensure improvements are made.
Competitions
"Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There’s nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.” - Sugar Ray Leonard
