Our Approach To Safety
At Turner Boxing Academy, defense is king. Why? Because boxing is about skill, not getting hurt. We stress defense because protecting the brain—your child’s most valuable asset—is our top priority. We treat safety seriously and have a silent agreement with you, the parent, to protect and take care of your child at all times.

About Sparring:
Parents often ask when their child will start sparring. Sparring doesn’t happen right away. First, your child must develop a strong foundation in both offense and defense. Once ready, they will spar in a controlled, safe, and fully supervised environment. Sparring isn’t about fighting—it’s about learning how to apply skills under pressure.
