Beyond Boxing is a new program to engage harder to reach young people via exercise, strength, self discipline, responsibility and self commitment. Beyond Boxing helps participants learn that all emotions are “normal” and think about their actions and choices and take responsibility for them.
Boxing assists in regulating emotions, tackling anger, depression, anxiety and self confidence. The program teaches participants to “channel” rather than “suppress” emotions and that violence in any form is never acceptable. It includes strategies to help young people build emotional intelligence and requires a committment for young people to participate in the program and assess choices and options and take responsibility for those.
The program has a focus on teaching young people how to avoid conflict via emotional intelligence and being mindful of situations using “Stop”, “Think”, “Act” and “Outcome” techniques and strategies.
