Boxing is a discipline, the coaching focuses on developing fundamental attributes for movement, balance, coordination, endurance and self confidence.
Beyond this, boxing teaches respect and is a discipline of self improvement at all levels, an art to the practitioner of his/her physical and mental limits, and offers them the opportunities and methods to surpass many obstacles he/she may encounter in the ring and life.

A typical training session consists of a thorough warm up and warm down, including explaination on why such why such preparations are necessary and training components that are tailored to meet the needs of participants to suit their levels and needs. No one is excluded, most importantly of all, we try and make sessions productive, creative, energetic and encourage everyone to train hard and listen so they can fulfill their true physical potential in a sport which you are quickly found out if you have not put 100% into the training needed.
