Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe start with a quick check-in on goals, fitness level, and any injuries. Then I teach the fundamentals: stance, guard, balance, and basic footwork (forward/back/angles). Youâll learn the jab and cross with correct technique (wrist alignment, hip rotation, breathing), then weâll do light shadowboxing and beginner mitt work at a controlled pace. We finish with a short conditioning round and a simple homework drill so you improve between sessions. No sparringâsafety first.
Lesson 11+Training becomes fully personalized based on your goals: fitness/weight loss, self-defense, or competition prep. We keep refining technique while adding advanced timing, setups, and combinations, plus higher-level footwork and defense/counters. Conditioning is tailored to your progress, and we track metrics like stamina, punch output, and movement quality. If you ever want to compete, we can build a structured camp plan (still no unnecessary contact; only whatâs appropriate and safe).
Lesson 4-10Now we level up: sharper footwork (angles, pivots, in-and-out), stronger combinations (2â5 punches), and more defense with counters (slip â return, block â return). Mitt rounds get more intense with specific themes: speed, power mechanics, accuracy, and ring movement. We add beginner strategy (distance, rhythm, feints, jab control) and sport-specific conditioning (HIIT, core, legs). Each session has measurable progressâcleaner technique, better gas tank, and more confidence.
Lesson 2-3We build consistency and confidence. Youâll refine stance/footwork, add the hook and basic defense (slips, blocks, pivots), and start combining punches (jabâcross, jabâcrossâhook). Mitt work increases with better timing and accuracy, plus conditioning intervals for fat loss and endurance. Youâll learn how to move after you punch (donât stand still) and how to stay relaxed under pressure.
Youth players
Working with kidsI keep sessions fun, safe, and structured. We focus on basics like stance, balance, coordination, footwork, and simple punch technique using games/drills and light mitt work. No sparring. I use short rounds, lots of breaks, and positive coaching so kids build confidence, discipline, and good habits while staying engaged. Technique and safety come firstâproper form, controlled intensity, and age-appropriate conditioning
Working with teenagersWith teens, I combine fundamentals with real boxing structure: stance/guard, footwork, punch mechanics, defense basics, and mitt work with combos. Training is still safety-first and controlled (no unnecessary contact), but we can increase intensity based on fitness and goalsâweight loss, athletic performance, or learning boxing correctly. I set clear goals, track progress, and build discipline, confidence, and conditioning while reinforcing respect and technique.
What you need to bringHand wraps, boxing gloves (12â16 oz; 14 oz recommended), athletic shoes, water, towel. Optional: yoga mat for core/stretching.
What I can bringFocus mitts/pads, footwork ladder, resistance bands, jump rope, timer, cones/markers.
