Sparring

Is designed to allow the boxers to practice their skills prior to any bouts or competition. It also allows the coaches to get an indication as to what level of fitness the boxers are at, highlighting areas which need improvement, and generally allowing the boxers to get a feel for the ring.

Sparring is one of the most important elements of a boxers training and is always carried out under the supervision of the coaches, safety always comes first.

The use of sparring gloves, gum shields, and head guards are mandatory and have to be provided by the boxer himself. Depending on the experience levels, round times may vary but generally range from 1.1/2 to 3.00 min rounds, this gives the boxer a feel for what to expect. However, if you do not want to box competitively, yet have been attending classes, performing well on the bags etc you will get the chance to spar with one of the boxers or someone with the same desire as you, sparring will generally always be available during every training session.
