Boxing is one of the oldest sports in the world, and one of the original disciplines in the Ancient Olympics. Over the millenia, the “sweet science” has been continuously refined, improved, and adapted under changing rulesets, and has given rise to some of the most famous athletes on the planet, including Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Boxing is known not just for competition, but also its incredible physical and mental benefits.
In recent decades, boxing has attracted a more diverse audience than ever before, from those wanting to fight, to those just wanting to have a great workout. From improved heart health, losing weight and easing stress, the science is in on the host of benefits that boxing offers. Whether you’re a parent looking to lose some weight, a teenager wanting to improve their self defense skills, or have your sights set on a world title, Ironfist emphasises legitimate, effective and fight tested techniques in the art of boxing. Any head contact, including sparring, is optional for all students. If you want to improve your fitness, gain self-confidence, and have a blast while doing it, joining The Ironfist Gym Brisbane’s boxing classes is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.
