Boxing Brilliance:Trident's Path to Strength and Skill
Being punched in the face is something that doesn’t happen to many who decide to step into a boxing gym and often is after months, if not years of training to get to that point but as you step into the gym at any age you will be asked to:
Often as parents we protect our children more than ever which is understandable and as typically most people’s relationship with boxing is what they see on TV we can naturally think that we are protecting our youngsters by not sending them to a boxing gym but it can be said we are holding them back by not letting them partake and learn the skill of boxing.
Learning the skills associated with boxing can be protecting your kids and preparing them for life.
All our coaches are affiliated with England Boxing and have a minimum of level 1 certification, all have suitable DBS checks in place and we aim to have a positive impact on all our students

To train in the gym we say from 8 years old but this is not hard and fast. When stepping into a boxing gym our aim is to teach the fundamentals first so a lot of this comes down to your childs attention span and desire to learn. Most importantly, does your kid want to learn to box or are they being told they need to learn to box?
Absolutely not.. well not until you may want to spar and box but that’s way down the line. Before being punched is even a choice so many skills are learnt and disciplines gained. The reality is getting in a ring to box competitively isn’t for everyone and some people don’t envisage ever competing and gradually progress to then want to test themselves but no one is forced and no one is allowed to until they are ready.
Officially following England Boxing Guidelines a child under 10 can join a boxing club but cannot box competitively or spar under 10 years old.
No never and it’s a great skill for everyone to learn, even if it is just to vary your weekly fitness routine and is suitable for people of all ages. There are studies that show learning boxing drills and remembering punch combinations can help those with people with Parkinson’s. Ultimately, being fit and strong and keeping muscles and bones working is important at all ages especially as we all age.
At this stage no. We want our girls and boys to feel comfortable around each other and if our girls numbers grow maybe we would separate the groups but to help relationships outside of the gym and helping youngsters interact with each other is as important a life lesson as the boxing itself. Boys will not be punching girls that’s for sure but showing respect to each other outside of the gym can start in the gym.
No… we are going to ask parents to stay away from watching their kids train. In our experience they look for approval from parents when things go well but also look over their shoulders when things don’t go too well. We want everyone to feel at ease whilst learning and also ( no offence Dad’s because I am one myself) parents want to offer advice and encouragement without being aware of what the coach may be setting up the student to learn so conflicting messages can be heard. We have a small café area and at points parents will be called in to watch so you can see your youngster progressing.
Absolutely not… as we have said above.. getting in a ring is often the end result after years of training, come along and enjoy the process first rather than looking at the end result.
