Online non-contact boxing programme for children aged 4-14 and their families designed by Joe Calzaghe MBE CBE & Family.

Story

In 2019 Joe Calzaghe MBE CBE honoured the wish of his father, Enzo Calzaghe MBE, by setting up the Calzaghe Mini Dragons with his sons Connor and Joe Jr. In partnership with Physical Activity Experts Rob Oyston and Alex Lock, the non-contact boxing programme that focuses on health and wellbeing has so far impacted over 1000 children in schools each week pre Covid-19.

Following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Calzaghe Mini-Dragons’ team, led by Joe Calzaghe MBE CBE, are aware that children and their families need support to maintain and develop their health and wellbeing. Therefore we are launching the following services online:

1. A free live 30-minute session every Wednesday on our Facebook page where your family can learn to box and get fit the Calzaghe way, as well as develop wellbeing linked to the school curriculum. Click here to join our Facebook page.

1. A private group with the Calzaghe family and their friends
2. Live sessions on Tuesday's, Wednesday's & Thursdays as well as additional technique & HIIT sessions
