The Pender division of the Sunshine Coast Boxing Club has attracted quite a following.
Every Monday kids ages 10 to 16 flock to the Pender fitness centre for an hour of intense boxing fitness. Aside from skipping, calisthenics and pad work, students of the sweet science are learning to stick and move and fire off a variety of slick combinations, according to coach Barry Krangle.
Once the word got out the Sunshine Coast Boxing Club was sponsoring classes, 12 women immediately signed up and have taken to the routines with vim and vigour.
“There’s a lot of talent in the Harbour,” Krangle said. “We just might have to set up the ring in the Community Hall and invite some guests in the near future.”
