Our Mission
Our Mission is:
At Unity Boxing Academy all are welcome and boxing should be an inclusive sport for all .
Promote equal opportunities within sport, working towards increased involvement by opening up access access to competetive boxing training and fitness activity and providing support for the talent which exists within our communities.
Foster the creation of positive role models and the empowerment of young people through the concept of achievement through sporting excellence and through educational activities.
Boxing provides an outlet for anger, aggression, stress, and frustration. A visit to the boxing gym and engaging in boxing activities such as hitting the heavy bags, punching the pads gets out negative emotions and leaves young people feeling calmer.
Boxing teaches self-control and discipline. Competing in boxing requires competitors to begin learning self-control and how to constructively channel physical and emotional impulses
At the heart of boxing is ultimate respect for yourself and your opponent and having respect for rules of the game and understanding boundaries
A boxing gym or boxing environment provides a controlled setting where you can exhibit your skills and strength
Young people that work with us, either in the boxing gym or within our community projects, share with us that they feel comfortable to walk away from a fight and don’t have any desire to prove anything from getting into a street fight, as they have learnt how to de-escalate a situations and can now apply conflict resolution skills in settling petty arguments
Many of our young people with the support of their coaches and their boxing family have go on to compete in Amateur Boxing Association of Enagland (ABAE) completions and this feeling of winning and receiving medals and trophies for their efforts is often enough to inspire them to use this as motivation to achieve in other areas of their lives
