DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE

ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES

These children are amazing and possess incredible potential, yet face challenges in listening, often requiring repeated instructions.

Despite their intelligent and sharp nature, attention struggles persist at home, in school, or crucial situations, leading to classifications like ‘ADD’ or ‘ADHD.’

Shyness and a lack of confidence hinder them from reaching their full potential.

A FEW WORDS FROM

ALEC HOOBEN

Hello, I’m Alec Hooben, proud owner of Whippany Boxing.  As a seasoned boxing instructor specializing in training kids, witnessing their growth firsthand is incredibly rewarding.  Yet, beyond the boxing skills acquired, the true essence lies in the lifelong personal skills they develop.  Boxing transcends mere punches; it’s a journey that fosters confidence, discipline, character, focus, and respect.

In each class we conduct, your kids aren’t just enhancing their physical prowess; they’re growing in mind, body, and character.  Boxing provides immediate positive feedback. By honing core moves, they cultivate discipline and respect, experiencing a tangible difference that fuels the building of confidence, self-awareness, and self-respect.

And let’s not forget, it’s an absolute blast!

Teaching boxing to kids in this community brings me immense joy, and I’m confident your kids will love the experience.  Explore below to discover how our enjoyable boxing classes can uniquely benefit your kids.

Thank you!

With every class, your child experiences growth and development!

Children, like sponges, absorb knowledge swiftly and effortlessly—often more effectively than adults. Parents frequently notice a positive change in their kids after just one boxing class, and with each subsequent class, their knowledge and growth expand. Beyond the physical benefits of learning boxing, they also gain insights into self-discipline and respect. Enrolling your child in a boxing class means providing them with much more than the taught physical skills; it’s an opportunity for them to thrive.

Small Classes, Focused Attention

Our youth program is designed to support kids through structure, encouragement, and positive discipline. To ensure each child receives personalized instruction, we cap our classes at just 12 students with up to 4 instructors. This low student-to-teacher ratio allows us to focus on each child’s individual learning needs—helping them build confidence, develop skills, and thrive in every session.

Develop Timeless Traits for Character and Success

As a parent, it’s not just about the friends your kids have; the internet introduces new concerns about negative influences.

The real advantage of our classes lies in fostering character and success traits through boxing training.

From mastering skills and techniques to the guidance and inspiration provided by our instructors, along with positive social interactions with fellow classmates, your kids will develop a comprehensive set of skills.

Empowerment Against Predators and Bullies

While we hope our kids never have to apply these skills in today’s world, every responsible parent prioritizes their child’s safety. That’s why our boxing training takes a serious approach to equip your kids with the essential self-protection skills for various situations, whether dealing with a neighborhood bully or a stranger on the street—and much more.

Yet, understanding how to defend oneself is just one aspect. Our classes emphasize instilling respect and self-discipline, enabling your child to de-escalate situations peacefully whenever possible. They also gain the knowledge to discern when utilizing force becomes the necessary path to safety.

Fun as Fitness

Let’s face it: with the sedentary lifestyles and screen time, many kids miss out on regular exercise. Our kids’ boxing classes offer dynamic exercise routines cleverly disguised as a ton of fun! Packed with engaging activities, games, and drills strategically designed to mask the repetition of training, these classes ensure that exercise is enjoyable.

It’s not just about keeping your kids active for their well-being—though it certainly helps with staying healthy, ensuring quality sleep, and fostering holistic development. Equally crucial, our classes instill physical habits from a young age, setting the foundation for them to grow into healthy adults.

TONS OF F-U-N !!

At Whippany Boxing, we never lose sight of the fact that kids are, well, kids—and they absolutely deserve to have a good time!

While we can’t guarantee the same level of enjoyment in their regular school classes, we assure you that our boxing classes are an absolute blast for your kid. Crafting a class that seamlessly integrates learning, respect, and discipline while ensuring it’s enjoyable is indeed a challenge. But that’s precisely what our classes are designed for. Bursting with creative ideas, engaging activities, and exciting games, our classes keep your kids entertained and eager to learn.

It’s not just about fun; it’s also a fantastic and healthy environment for them (and you) to build friendships with other like-minded students. A place where laughter, cheer, and happiness are in abundance.

Are Saying

My son has been taking classes here for about 9 months now and he’s improved tremendously in boxing but it’s really helped him out learning how to use his core, hips and shifting his weight. His broader range of motion in soccer and rugby was very apparent this spring and summer and I definitely credit Alec and the other instructors at Whippany Boxing for that. The instruction is great, the staff handle everything in a professional manner and signing in for the classes is easy. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. You won’t regret it

Client
William Knoll

My son has been coming here for 6 months and has had a phenomenal experience. Classes are kept small, and all of the instructors are attentive, encouraging, and make it fun. He's learned a lot of legitimate boxing technique and he gets a great workout in the process.

Client
Gregg Friedmann

This place is legit. My 10 year old son started here a month ago, and I’m so happy with the techniques that are taught and the no-joke work out he gets. I was afraid that boxing training for kids would be too soft and lax, but it’s a perfect. (You should see some of these kids doing combinations like pros!) The staff are patient and encouraging, but are also quick to keep kids focused. Very happy that we tried Whippany Boxing!
