Empowerment

Discover how boxing for mental health can boost wellbeing, reduce stress, and build confidence. From learning proper technique and defensive footwork to connecting with supportive communities, boxing offers a fun, structured way to release tension and improve mood. Initiatives like the NHS boxing gym highlight its therapeutic potential, showing that this empowering sport is for everyone, not just competitive athletes.
