Back in 20011 We started working with Martial arts specialists Thomas Jithin and Bill Wakefield.
Our aim at The Boxing Shop was to work with Different people who have had successful organisations with sport rather than just working with Boxing organisations.The reason being,Martial arts seemed to have correct processes and structure in their organisation where boxing seemed to be all about fighting.
When TBS originated, the number one aim was to create a team based environment where everyone would feel welcome,so we decided to search around for leaders in their own fields .
We spent some time researching and learning how kids enjoyed structure in classes yet still had fun.
Anyway our bright Idea was to start an Under 8s class where we would work with kids from 3 years old. The classes started slowly as no one had done this in boxing before but once we stuck to our guns and used structured yet fun classes for the kids ,we started to grow rapidly.
We had channel 9 do a news story on our Under 8s program with Parents,Kids and Professional people all willing to speak highly of the program. see below
