Taking Boxing Training To New Levels

Performance Boxing Philosophy
Performance Boxing courses offer a powerful combination of the philosophy of legendary boxing trainer Johnny Lewis, the training insights of professional boxers Paul Briggs and Gairy St Clair and the personal training and coaching methodology of Corey Bocking.
By bringing together the talents of these 4 extraordinarily skilled individuals, our Performance Boxing courses offer qualified fitness professionals a unique and world-class professional development opportunity.
“Corey Bocking and I have worked together for a number of years and in my opinion he is one of Australia’s leading personal trainers. When the opportunity to formalise all my years of training into this course came about I jumped at the chance. I have coached many athletes over my time, and I am honoured to think I can inspire fellow trainers to motivate and develop others.”
Johnny Lewis
The Performance Boxing courses are designed to offer participants the skill set of a professional boxing trainer – a skill set which will not only enhance a personal trainer’s development but also translate to improved business performance.
Performance Boxing – A Model for Excellence
Boxing has always been a highly effective way to train and get into shape, and over the last few years has become a hugely popular tool for personal trainers in helping their clients achieve their desired goals.
With this increasing popularity, many people who are new to the fitness industry have put clients through their paces with mixed success. Some have done it well, some not so well. However, without informed and expert training themselves, ultimately they can put their clients at risk of injury and also lessen the effectiveness of a workout.
Our Performance Boxing model aims to offers training professionals a steady and highly detailed progression through the four essential stages of instruction in a way that ensures training excellence.
Taking Boxing Training To New Levels
Stage 1 - Technique
First and foremost, you must learn correct technique yourself. This includes the seemingly simple yet highly detailed principles of how to effectively stand, move and punch. This is the key to generating speed, power and endurance, developing strength and co-ordination and sharpening your reflexes.
Stage 2 -Teaching
Next, you learn how to teach the principles you have learned. To successfully instruct someone to both box (stand, move and punch) and safely and effectively use focus pads, we ensure you acquire proficiency yourself in a way that enables you to teach and communicate the same principles and skills you have acquired.
Stage 3 -Tactics
This is where we go deeper with advanced conditioning drills for using boxing as a cross training method for sporting teams, athletes and high level trainers who want to push their limits. At this stage you have mastered the basics and now take training further with work-rest ratios, combinations and integrating boxing into client training goals.
Stage 4 - Title Fight
You have now reached the peak of the Performance Boxing model. This is where you start moving and training like a professional boxer, including footwork evasion and defensive drills and incorporating a variety of boxing specific drills(skill and conditioning).
