Proactive Boxing incorporates a hybrid blend of traditional amateur boxing, professional modern boxing, as well as, dirty boxing techniques for self defence application. Classes are safe, fun, and friendly where members work at their own pace.
Classes cater for all levels of skill and experience – from beginners, intermediate, and advanced, with a separate sparring class also available.
Boxing has become a global phenomenon with tremendous cross-over appeal for personal fitness, as well as cross training benefits for other sports.
The Pro Level Boxing syllabus was developed by Head Coach Rick O’Brien. Rick uses modern coaching principles to develop a progressive and safe skill based learning method.
Boxing classes improve physical and mental health. Classes develop fitness and skills quickly and easily with its fun, effective, and enjoyable approach! A typical Proactive Boxing session stimulates all muscle groups, and provides the perfect combination of aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (short-burst, without oxygen) exercise.
There is a strong emphasis on boxing glove and defence drills especially for beginners. These develop the skills needed for students to reach a proficient level to begin safe and controlled sparring sessions. To ensure the safety of members, contact levels in Boxing classes are controlled (touch contact) to account for the wide variation in members’ weights, heights, and skills.
Boxing at Proactive offers a unique structured system that allows you to test your skills through formal gradings if you choose. Those without any prior experience start as Beginners Level 1. Our progressive grading syllabus allows you to work at your own pace and gain the skills required to level up, ultimately reaching Pro Level 10 (professional level boxing).
Proactive respects all arts and especially support those who venture into ‘new’ territory. We offer RPLs (Recognised Prior Learning) for those coming from different styles to seamlessly transition into Proactive Boxing.
Proactive trainers are qualified professional & volunteer sports coaches with a minimum Cert III qualification. Trainers are selected based on their skill, passion, friendliness, and ability to communicate.
