Why Choose Boxing?
Our tailored boxing programs offer a structured, supportive environment where youth on the spectrum can build confidence, improve motor skills, and feel a sense of belonging. By centering our efforts on this community, we’re meeting a critical need and empowering children on the spectrum to grow, thrive, and develop lifelong skills.
Health & Fitness
Boxing is a powerful tool for promoting health and fitness in kids with autism because it provides structured, repetitive movement that can enhance coordination, balance, and overall motor skills. The sport’s rhythmic nature helps create a calming effect, making it easier for children to stay focused and engaged. Additionally, boxing allows kids to release energy in a controlled, safe way, which can reduce stress and improve mood. The sensory experience of hitting bags, wearing gloves, and following routines also supports sensory integration, which can improve body awareness and help children feel more comfortable in their environment. Overall, boxing fosters physical fitness, self-confidence, and emotional regulation in a supportive and adaptive setting.
Sensory Integration
Boxing offers consistent, controlled sensory input, which can help children on the spectrum with sensory processing issues. The rhythmic movements, hitting the bags, and textures of gloves and wraps support improved sensory integration, helping them better manage sensory challenges in daily life.
Social Skill Improvement
Boxing classes include group and partner exercises, giving children on the spectrum chances to build communication, teamwork, and social skills in a supportive community.
"Boxing has been transformative for my daughter who also has ADHD. We've noticed her stimming has lestened and she's able to manage her impulses better. We're so excited to see what she achieves next."
