Our classes
Boxing Without Barriers is a non-contact boxing program for children, youth, and adults (ages 7+) with physical, cognitive, or developmental disabilities. Classes run on Sunday mornings, at the Beaver Boxing Club in Little Italy. They are open to individuals with a wide range of abilities and is designed for participants to exercise, learn to box, and have fun.
BWB is a registered Boxing Ontario club and a partner of Beaver Boxing Club.
In this class, you’ll get to know the key fundamentals of boxing. We’ll cover basic skills including the boxer’s stance and all main punches: jab, cross, hook, and uppercut. You’ll learn how to use different equipment including heavy bags, pads, sliplines, and the training drills associated with each.
Learning how to utilize a combination of basic footwork and punches together in synchronicity are the main focus of this class. Developing these skills greatly helps our athletes in their everyday lives and can increase focus, hand–eye coordination, muscle strength, endurance, and social interaction.
All classes are held Sunday mornings at Beaver Boxing Club.
*Currently available evenings only.
