Boxing for 8 year old?
We are looking for boxing classes for our 8 year old but can’t seem to find anything closer than San Jose or something that doesn’t require a formal gym membership. Any ideas? Thanks!

The city of berkeley offers a boxing class at Grove park..it's adults and kids in one class (but divided so kids are with kids etc). It says it starts for age 9 but perhaps you could make it work at 8. I took the class as an adult about 10 years ago. It was really long and seemed more geared at giving kids a safe place to be and burn energy. Lots of jumping rope and floor exercises. But plenty of boxing skills too. It was affordable and only required some very cheap hand wraps. I think it would be a great start.
