Tiny Titans.
Where the next generation of North Devon's boxing champions take their first step. Two groups, three sessions a week — built on 70 years of coaching expertise.
More Than Just Boxing.
Tiny Titans isn't just about learning to punch. It's about teaching children the discipline, focus, and self-belief that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
In a world where kids face more pressure than ever, a boxing gym might be the last place you'd expect to find calm confidence — but that's exactly what our coaches build, session by session.
Children who join Tiny Titans leave each session feeling stronger, more focused, and proud of what they've achieved. Many of today's senior fighters and coaches started right here, in this very program.
This is where champions begin.
What Your Child Will Learn
Each session is structured to build skills progressively — always in a safe, fun, and age-appropriate way. Here's what a Tiny Titan develops:
Focus & Discipline
Boxing demands attention and effort. Sessions teach children to concentrate, follow instructions, and build structured routines — skills that carry directly into school and daily life.
Fitness & Coordination
Footwork, balance, and movement are at the core of our program. Kids get a brilliant workout while developing physical literacy in a way that's engaging and enjoyable.
Confidence & Resilience
Learning a new skill — and getting better at it each week — builds real self-confidence. Shy kids open up. Nervous kids find their courage. It never gets old to watch it happen.
Respect & Teamwork
Respect for coaches, peers, and opponents is non-negotiable here. Tiny Titans learn to win graciously, lose with dignity, and always look out for each other.
Boxing Fundamentals
Stance, footwork, the basic punches — all taught in a non-contact, pad-based environment. No sparring until they (and we) are fully ready and it's age-appropriate.
A Pathway Forward
Tiny Titans progress to Junior Titans, then into our senior beginner sessions. Some of the club's best-ever fighters started right here, aged just 4 or 5.
Session Schedule
Three sessions per week across two age groups. Just turn up — no booking needed.
