The youth boxing classes combine versatile physical activity, technical training, and challenging yet fun workouts. The classes are suitable for all levels – whether you are a beginner or a more experienced athlete. Everyone trains at their own level, and under Tuomo’s guidance, each participant gets the maximum benefit.

All you need is indoor sports clothing and shoes. Loan gloves are available at the gym, but your own hand wraps and gloves are recommended – and they can also be purchased on site.

After School Boxing is a project supported by the Läpimurto Foundation and the City of Kuopio.
