Youth Boxing in Calgary: A Parent's Guide

The short answerYouth classes at West 85th are 50 minutes of heavy bag and pad work for ages 7 to 12, coached by Johngie. Kids build confidence, discipline and real boxing skills. No experience needed.

What kids do in class

Youth classes focus on heavy bag and pad work: proper stance, punches, footwork and combinations, taught step by step. Classes run 50 minutes and are built for young athletes, not scaled-down adult workouts.

What they get out of it

  • Confidence from learning a real skill and getting better at it every week
  • Discipline from listening, focusing and working through tough rounds
  • Skill-building they can carry into other sports

Summer camps

In summer we run one-week afternoon camps for ages 7 to 14. Past camps combined boxing and Muay Thai fundamentals, strength and agility training, team games and structured play, with August Dryland weeks for hockey players and multi-sport athletes getting ready for tryouts.

Dates and pricing change each year. Call (403) 719-7625 or send us a message for the next camp.

What to bring

  • A water bottle
  • Indoor runners
  • Comfortable clothes they can move in

Gloves and wraps are available at the studio.
