As a sport boxing exercise doesn't come to mind foremost for the majority of parents. Many parents would not consider boxing for kids in the slightest and would have a fear for their kid coming home with black eyes and a broken nose after the first session! However, as with all sports, boxing for kids can be safe with investment in the right equipment and in a good environment. The proper gear includes approved, Olympic style headgear to protect against concussions and a mouth guard to help keep their teeth intact. Groin protection is also a necessity.
