Boxing
Boxing can reduce violence in our communities. The statement seems misplaced considering the fact that boxing involves people punching each other. However, the discipline, relationship building, and mentoring involved in Jubilee’s boxing program helps youth focus their energy off the streets and surrounded by people who care for them.
Whether it is boxing, martial arts, or soccer; the combination of exercise and skill development found in sports is an incredible tool for building the character necessary to avoid the pitfalls of urban life. Idle hands make for trouble. That is why Jubilee invests in activities that attract the interest and commitment of youth in our neighborhoods. Every day spent at the punching bag is another day off the streets.
