The Heart of Our Program

More than a boxing program, we’re a family. Through boxing, mentorship, and life skills, we teach discipline, respect, and resilience — helping the youth channel their energy into confidence, strength, and bulding a brighter future.

We aim to give Philadelphia’s youth the tools to rise above violence and hardship by teaching the discipline of boxing, the strength of self-control, and the confidence to choose a better path.

Guns Down, Gloves Up
