My 12yo son had been begging to start boxing classes and I feel so lucky that we learned about Nomad!! He started with their kid classes, going several times a week, and after several months developing a solid foundation, now goes to the later evening classes for all ages - and though he’s one of the youngest people in those sessions, he is clearly welcomed and he is LOVING IT!
