Becoming light on your feel, quick thinking, rnoving from attack, to defend and lo withdraw. Our young boxers are taken through this process slep by slep, moving forward or leli, backwards or right and lo co-ordinate their efforts within the ring. Once movement is perfected boxers are then coached in Boxing Techniques, the jab, Cross, Hook and Uppercut. Each technique has ils own characlerislic and purpose and every boxer must illustrate lo their coach they understand this and can execule the sequence. Delence techniques are covered the Block, Parry and Rolling your opponent, Slipping and Countering an Attack. All our boxers have lo satisty their coach they have mastered and understood the technique, before they can move on.

Many do so bul there are a number who have no desire lo progress and want lo continue lo attend and keep lil and healthy. And that is fine. We will continue lo encourage members to progress as they get older and their skills improve. Moving on allows our young people lo build strength, improve fitness and develop the skills and attitude reqLJired lo consider repiesenling Grainger Park in a competitive environment. Boxers develop their skills sparring and working on the "pads" with coaches receiving individual tuition, guidance and support.
The frequency and opportunity lo train increases with boxers having access to 5 sessions Ihrough the week. The intensity builds. There are a number of boxers who choose to Move onto the next stage lo become a Carded Boxer but rnany decide to stay at this level and sorne decide lo move on and lake their journey lo other providers, knowing that Grainger Park will welcome them back al any time. Stepping up requires a boxer to train. run and exercise 5 times a week and lo keep this regime up for as long as they compete.
