What are boxing classes for children at Hop Hop like?

In Hop Hop, boxing for children is a much safer and less aggressive sport than for adults. In a boxing class, both adults and children train together under the supervision of the coach. This contact makes it possible for all colleagues to progressively learn from each other in a very technical and fluid way.

In no case will the children have direct contact with each other, they will always work with mittens, gloves or other equipment that the coach indicates. In this sense, supervision will be exhaustive so that little by little they can work autonomously and with respect.

It is not about learning to hit like an animal, on the contrary, it is taught that each child control their own strength, aggressiveness and power. These 3 qualities are important to build not only a good foundation as a fighter but as a person of good character and values.

Why is it good for boys and girls to train boxing?

Many of the exercises involve hands, feet and hips, in addition to the synchronization of various muscle groups. Depending on the type of training, boys and girls will perform mitten exercises, resistance circuits, hitting the bag and etc; always accompanied by the supervision of the coach.
