Boxing

 

The Sessions

Private boxing sessions in Hampstead Heath, NW3 or home within surrounding areas. The sessions are for any level and are padwork based for fitness and technique,  typically split in three parts; warm up, technique and sometimes sparring depending on the level of the student.  

Technique teaching includes footwork, balance, strategy, head movement, defensive skills and an array of punches. Rounds are often timed with short rest time in between to improve fitness and endurance over time

A number of clients choose to combine boxing with weight training and or combat Krav Maga / self defence training. 

 
 

  • Padwork

  • Footwork

  • Strike Combinations

  • Defensive Drills (head movement, etc.)

  • Sparring

 

The Best Stress Relief

Boxing is a physical, emotional and mental connection within your body. It's you and the pads. Whatever is going on in your life, work, kids, relationships, money, or low mood during that hour of punching takes your mind off the problems. As someone who have been battling depression for years, boxing is my go happy pill!

Here are some quotes from people who have tried boxing:

“Boxing is my escape from stress”

“Have a blast and lose weight at the same time”

“It’s a great stress reliever, and it’s so fun!”

I have been training for many years and consider myself to have a good eye for great coaches. I’ve been so impressed with Nicholas. The progress of all his clients is evident as everyone really gets adept at all the moves and yet are definitely enjoying themselves. If you love to hit the mitts boxing - he’s one of the best. He trains hard and understands what needs to be done- not just in theory. What an exemplary coach!!

When exercise is fun… you stop making yourself do it, and you “get” to do it!
