Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars" Khalil Gilbran
Inclusion: You’re never doing this alone. Whether it’s in a class, holding the pads, hitting the pads, in the ring or holding someone’s feet while they do sit-ups —– REAL is a community
Empowerment: Learning how to hit and throw bunches of punches; gives you confidence in yourself and this transfers to daily life, helping you deal with challenging situations better
Mental Sharpness: Co-ordinating combinations, while trying to hit a moving target, improves skill, focus, and mental sharpness
Control: Boxing helps manage and overcome anger, installing discipline and control
Respect: You are only ever one punch away from danger. Those that box know the risks. When you put yourself on the line, it is a humbling experience. Knowing this breeds respect and this punctuates the entire sport
Uplifting: Boxing is physically very demanding and the exertion will leave you feeling uplifted by your efforts, with a natural high thanks to neurotransmitters, which alleviate pain, stress and lift your mood
Stress-Relief: Hitting things is both fun and therapeutic — boxing is a proven way to de-stress and ease tension
Meditation: One must be completely present, focused and in-the-moment while boxing, so it’s a great break from the mental stresses of the outside world
