“We have about 30 kids in a class and they love it plus it’s just so good for them,” he said.
“The young boxers are learning all the discipline basics but they don’t realise it because they’re having so much fun.”
A former professional kick-boxer, the Merrylands gym owner is one of the coaches and says the turnout has been wonderful.
“Boxing sharpens kids’ problem-solving skills and they learn about health and fitness,” he said.
“We teach proper form, which prevents injuries and if you learn young, you remember these tools for life.”
