Why Start A Boxing Program?

There are numerous reasons why an amateur boxing program benefits,

not only the individual, but also the community they live in:

  1. Because of its focus on individual achievement boxing attracts "at risk" youth like no other athletic program. It promotes self-reliance, accountability and serves as an ideal outlet for the individual who does not participate in team sports.
  2. Boxing builds confidence and self esteem. Success in the ring is dependent solely on that athlete and his work ethic in preparing for competition. There are no teammates to blame a loss on and only one person can receive accolades. This generates an immeasurable sense of accomplishment in the athlete for his individual capabilities.
  3. Aggression and anger are actively channeled through the intensity of the sport. Individuals are also less likely to get into "fights" outside the gym because they have no need to "Prove" anything. They learn to respect their skills of self defense and selectively use them in the ring.
  4. Boxing is extremely safe. It is among the most regulated in all amateur sports.
  5. Daily physicals and medical attention are required for each athlete during competition. The equipment used is also regulated and must pass strict safety guidelines in order to be approved by the boxing national governing body, USA Boxing.
