Knuckle Down is a Community Interest Company using the power of boxing coaching to transform the way young people aged 11 to 16 show up in the classroom, at home, and in life. We work directly inside schools, delivering structured sessions that tackle attention deficit behaviour, build genuine self-confidence, and instil the kind of discipline that lasts well beyond the gym. Every session is purposeful. Every young person matters.
More Than Boxing
Who Is Knuckle Down For?
What Happens In A Session?
Our school-based boxing coaching programme is structured, safe, and built around the needs of young people aged 11 to 16. Every session combines technical boxing drills with focused coaching conversations that develop attention, resilience, emotional control, and self-belief. No contact. No competition. Just real coaching that gets real results.
"The real fight is not in the ring but inside your mind."
Mike Tyson

Knuckle Down was born from a simple but powerful belief, that every young person, regardless of their behaviour, deserves a space where they feel seen, challenged, and capable. Boxing provided that space. The discipline, the focus, and the respect that the sport demands proved to be exactly what many young people in schools were missing. What started as a coaching idea became a mission. That mission is now Knuckle Down.
