As a former professional boxer and licensed coach, I’ve spent years working with children of all ages, from mainstream students to those with additional needs. I’ve seen firsthand how non-contact boxing transforms young people. Shy kids grow in confidence. Energetic kids learn discipline. Children who struggle with focus start to channel their energy with purpose.


That’s why I’ve created the Boxing for Kids: Confidence, Fitness and Focus Guide. This is more than a training manual. It’s a complete system for parents who want to give their children the benefits of boxing, without the risks of fighting. For more information on the benefits of Boxing training for Kids' confidence, focus and resilience, check this article out


Why Parents Are Turning to Boxing

Every parent wants their child to be confident, resilient and healthy. But today’s world pulls kids in the wrong direction:

  • Endless screen time.

  • Low activity levels.

  • Struggles with focus and emotional regulation.


Boxing offers a powerful solution. The sport builds strength, stamina, confidence and self-control. Yet many parents hesitate because they don’t want their child sparring or getting injured. That’s where non-contact boxing comes in.


The Power of Non-Contact Training

Non-contact boxing takes the best parts of the sport: the fitness, the focus, the discipline, and removes the risks of punches to the head. Instead, children learn through structured drills, fun games, and age-appropriate training plans.


I’ve watched children develop incredible resilience through this approach. Some go on to take up boxing competitively. Others simply carry the discipline and confidence into school, friendships, and later life. Who knows, there may even be a few champions of the future being built this way.


What’s Inside the Guide

The Boxing for Kids Guide is designed to be a parent’s handbook. Whether you’ve got a 7-year-old just starting out or a teenager who needs structure, you’ll have a clear framework to follow.


Inside you’ll discover:

  • Safe drills for home training that build skills step by step.

  • Fun games that feel like play but develop coordination, speed and balance.

  • Emotional regulation exercises that help kids handle nerves and build resilience.

  • Age-specific training plans so you know exactly what’s appropriate.

  • A Parent’s Handbook that explains how to support your child’s journey.

  • Practical examples of how to track your child’s progress so you can see them grow in confidence and skill.


Why This Guide Stands Out

I’ve coached hundreds of children in schools, community sessions and 1-to-1 programs. I’ve worked with young people who had no belief in themselves, and seen them grow into confident leaders. I’ve worked with children who struggled with behaviour and helped them channel that energy into something positive.

This guide is built from real experience. It’s not theory. It’s not guesswork. It’s the exact system I’ve used to help children develop through non-contact boxing.


Give Your Child the Marksman Advantage

The Boxing for Kids Guide isn’t just about punches and drills. It’s about giving your child confidence, fitness, focus and discipline that lasts for life.


Give your child the structure, skills and self-belief they deserve.
