Boxing

At Minnesota Top Team we offer Adult (ages 17+), Youth (ages 10-16), and Competition (for the advanced and serious boxing students training for competition) boxing classes.

Our adult and youth boxing classes are designed for ALL levels of fitness, from the first-time-ever person to the high performance athlete. We combine the fundamentals of core strength conditioning with the skill, technique and total body workout found in Boxing training principles using heavy bags, target mitts, speed bags, medicine balls, jump roping, and much more. This is not a silly "boxercise" class, this is legitimate butt-kicking boxing training and conditioning.

Our Competition Team classes are for those advanced level students who are serious about competition. These students must have shown their skill and dedication by attending the adult or youth boxing classses regularly and must be approved by our boxing coaches to be a part of the MTT Competition Team. All appropriate gear is required: headgear, mouth guard, handwraps, approved gloves, and low blow protector.

About Boxing

Boxing is in principle a sport more than a martial art. Boxing matches are heavily regulated and when it comes to punching technique and power. There are few martial arts that are as focused on fist strikes. Fighters are well known for their fantastic footwork and the manipulation of angles to beat their opponents; these two aspects combined make boxers very dangerous in fights. Considered one of the best exercises for stamina, breathing, and hand/eye coordination, it is an excellent way to becomes more proficient with your punches and stay in excellent shape.
