Boxing increases the ability to react, provides children with a feeling of security and enables them to act appropriate and peaceful in conflict situations. Children and adolescents get to know boxing from another point of view. Boxing is not only a self-defence technique that conveys power, quickness and endurance, but also provides children with the ability to keep a level head in stress situations.

• Boxing gloves are distributed by the coach.
• The participants go in boxing position.
• The coach explains and conducts the basal move with the leading hand as well as with the punching hand.
• The boxing punch is replicated multiple times by the participants while mutually calling out loudly “I can do it!”.

The participants position themselves in a circle around the coach. The latter wears focus mitts and goes around from child to child. The participants punch with their right hand on the left focus mitt and vice versa. Thereby, the participants again should call out loud “I can do it!”

After the punch (jab), other techniques like hook, uppercut etc. come to use.
