If you’re a fan of boxing or even just have a passing interest, you’ll be happy to hear that as of this month, Friday 11th, we will be running weekly adapted boxing sessions every Friday between 5:00pm to 6:00pm.
For £3 per person, these sessions will welcome all ages and abilities – We will adapt it based on your needs and disabilities. They will be run by our coach, Joel, who is now a trained level 1 boxing coach!
We were inspired to add Adapted Boxing to our roster of sports by the WBC – World Boxing Council, who we previously collaborated with at the Eastbourne Festival of Accessible Sport.
WBC Cares UK, an organisation created by the WBC, aims to help local communities, and drive social change through boxing with a focus on inclusion and diversity.
72% of people who have a disability face one or more barrier in entry to sport or physical activities. They designed the Safer Adaptive Boxing Programme to fight against such a statistic and provide people of every ability the opportunity to experience safe and exceptional boxing training.
If you have ever wanted to try boxing but felt as though you wouldn’t fit, you should definitely give our new session a look!
As always, stay Defiant!
