Boxing & Kickboxing youth program

Amsterdamsche BoksschoolBarry Groenteman

At our gym, we create a safe, structured, and inspiring learning environment. Our youth boxing and kickboxing academy helps children grow step by step β€” becoming stronger, more skilled, and more confident, both in sports and in their personal development.

Graduation & Shirt System

To keep children motivated and to make progress visible, we work with a clear graduation system:

  • White Shirt – Beginner: introduction to the sport, basic punches, kicks (kickboxing), stance, and discipline.
  • Blue Shirt – Technical/Advanced: technical development, coordination, tactical understanding, and sparring drills.
  • Black Shirt – Highly Advanced: high-level technique, strength, endurance, and competition preparationΒ personal goal (optional).

Progress card & Development

Each young athlete receives a personal progress card. After every class, progress is recorded in line with our training periodization. This way, children and trainers can clearly see the development per period and which steps are still needed to move toward the next level.

 

Examinations

At set times, we organize technical examinations. During these, children demonstrate what they have learned, matching their graduation level. After successfully passing an exam, they receive a higher graduation and the corresponding shirt. This stimulates commitment, discipline, and perseverance.

Goal & ambition

Our program aims to develop children into skilled, technically strong boxers and kickboxers. For those who want to take it further, there is the opportunity to prepare for competitions in the ring or to continue at a high recreational level.

 

Coaching

The youth program is coordinated by Barry Groenteman. Training sessions are provided by an expert team of coaches:

  • Nathan Gomes
  • Danny Moi Thuk Shung

Together, we ensure quality, safety, and fun – the three pillars of our youth program.

Core Values: Respect, discipline, enjoyment, and personal growth.
