About SUBA

Science-led coaching. Island heart.

We coach young boxers as young learners, not small adults. Every session draws on motor-learning research and sports psychology, delivered with the respect, faith and family values our athletes grow up with.

  • Learn to move

    Coordination, visual tracking and reaction work from day one.

  • Composure

    Emotional control is trained in every session.

  • Athletes think

    Play-based drills and peer teaching that make skills stick.

  • Fight IQ

    Speed, movement and ring intelligence over trading shots.

12-week beginner curriculum

From first jab to bout-ready

New boxers build skills in four phases, with clear coaching cues and milestones parents can see.

Weeks 1–3

Foundation

Balance, footwork, coordination on both sides and reaction games.

Weeks 4–6

Skill intro

Stance, guard, the jab and cross, and basic defence.

Weeks 7–9

Integration

Combinations, movement with punches and partner drills.

Weeks 10–12

Consolidation

A skills showcase and the next-step plan for every boxer.

Inside the gym

One family. Every age.

From seven-year-olds learning their stance to international competitors, everyone trains together under one roof.
