Get your kids active. Learn self defence. Improve confidence.
This camp is designed by Sean and Paddy Headon, founders of the Headon Boxing Academy (HBA).
Paddy and Sean who attended St.Michael's College in Ballsbridge and went on to graduate from BESS in Trinity College Dublin started boxing themselves when they were in their early teens.
When they were introduced to boxing they soon saw for themselves the benefits it can have for their confidence, fitness, discipline, safety awareness and taught them many invaluable lessons about self defence.
The HBA have worked with a number of schools delivering self defence weeks over the last 5 years including St.Michael's College, Marian College and St.Killians to name a few.
It is important to note that this is a non-contact camp. We will introduce all course participants to the fundamentals of boxing and improve their boxing skills over the camp.
They will be coached by real boxers and learn the skill of boxing from a self defence aspect.

During the camp the participants will learn how to correctly perform bodyweight exercise to increase strength and mobility.
These sessions are designed to get them sweating in a fun environment. They will be doing pushups, squats, box jumps and footwork drills aimed at improving eye hand coordination and agility.

We believe this is the secret sauce of this course. Each day we invite a motivational guest speaker in for a Q & A talk.
Our guest speaks usually include a member of Garda Síochána, up and coming MMA star, health wellness coach & paralympian.
They cover a diverse range of topics including:
✅ Importance of exercise for your physical and mental health.

✅ Introduction to training & nutrition.
✅ How to overcome challenges and create a winning mindset.
