Our take
Based on the ratings of 399 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in April 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
Matt Garcia is an England Boxing Champion's Coach, and this course packs his methods into 79 lectures and about 14.6 hours. It starts with hand wraps, stance and basic punches, then moves through skipping, bag work, shadow boxing and combinations. After that it becomes a workout library: virtual pad work, virtual sparring, and his own formats called HIIB, Get FIT Not HIT and Boxing Yoga. No equipment is required, so it suits a living room.
Reviews are glowing. Of 399 ratings, 342 are five stars and only ten are three or below. Students praise the clear footwork and head movement teaching, and beginners say they gained confidence. Reviewers coming from judo, muay Thai, BJJ and club boxing like it too. Two use it as a refresher, and one says it matches what he learned at his gym. Criticism is mild. The one three-star review in the sample just says it looks good so far. The real catch is balance: the syllabus puts more than ten of the 14.6 hours in the three workout sections.
Almost 10,000 students have joined, and the 4.8 rating holds up. It was last updated in April 2025, which matters little for a subject that does not date quickly. One reviewer points out that this is not a course you finish once, since the workouts are meant to be repeated. There are no quizzes, so you will want a mirror or a coach to check your form. Good for beginners and home trainers who want fitness with real technique. Less useful if you want a technical deep dive.
Pros
- Footwork, stance and head movement are taught clearly, and reviewers with boxing backgrounds confirm it
- Virtual pad work and virtual sparring give a partner-style workout at home with no equipment
- Over ten hours of follow-along HIIB, Get FIT Not HIT and Boxing Yoga sessions built to be repeated
- 4.8 rating from 399 reviews, with 342 of them five stars and none at one star
Cons
- Most of the runtime is workouts, so the technique lessons are comparatively short
- Shadow boxing is a single 26 minute lecture, and there are no quizzes or assignments to test yourself
- Experienced boxers get mostly a refresher, as reviewers with years of training describe it
Obviously this is not one of those courses you can do once and stop, they need to be revisited to enable you to keep up your fitness.
Listed as All Levels but aimed at beginners: no boxing experience, fitness base or gear is needed to start.

I'm halfway through this course and I've learned so much. I was able to understand the head movements, even though I still have a little of a way to go. I am definetely gaining some confidence I thought I never had. Thank you!
By Danielle Lane on 5/23/2026
This is an amazing course. I really how detailed and interactive this is. I found the Yoga boxing to be very beneficial too. Obviously this is not one of those courses you can do once and stop, they need to be revisited to enable you to keep up your fitness. Absolutely great course. Thank you.

I'm switching from muay Thai to boxing because I like the beautiful dance of footwork and head movement in boxing. The effort for making all this tutorial video is absolutely stunning, very recommended for boxing beginners tutorial, also the coach is very good at footwork and head movement, I really like it, 10/10

By Lyvade Cooper on 9/23/2025
Very practical, the only thing is for the exercises I would’ve liked a little more detail within every movement of the technique but thats just me. Other than that this course is very good so far
