Why a Community Boxing Club?
The impact of a boxing club:
- Historically boxing clubs make an impact in their communities every day. By providing a safe, and supportive environment for the at-risk youth, boxing clubs help to shape and mold the character of young people through a strict regimen of discipline, dedication, and a goal-oriented mindset.
What type of youth are interested in Boxing? What kinds of backgrounds?
- Across the world you will see youth from all walks of life,
- Most of them come from rough backgrounds. You will see a lot of kids in the foster care system. But at the same time, we will have people participating from other sports from Chess to High School Rodeo, and those academic types getting 4.0 GPAs in school. It’s a great mix;
- Building the bridge thru physical activity leads to all helping each other out in different ways, its pretty incredible to see a street kid helping an un-athletic chess player learn, later seeing that chess player tutoring street kid with his homework. (even seen gang members leave gangs and get baptized)
