Transforming lives through boxing.

BOXING & OUTDOOR LEARNING
Introducing Impact Boxing, where we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of youths in tameside aged 11-19 through the power of boxing.
Alongside our boxing training, we offer a range of services that promote academic success and personal growth. Our core values of self-belief, self-discipline, respect, integrity, inclusivity, sportsmanship, teamwork, and continuous learning are instilled in every aspect of our program. In addition to our gym services, we have designed bespoke intervention packages for schools and private organizations. These packages, rooted in the core values of England Boxing, aim to provide support and guidance to students who may have faced challenges in mainstream schools. Our team of dedicated staff works closely with students, promoting both technical and academic achievement.
Bio
Impact Boxing Gym is a dynamic institution with a powerful mission: to keep children in education by providing them with a unique opportunity to attend a provisional school for 11-16 year olds. With a strong focus on boxing, our goal is to have a positive impact on their lives through the transformative power of the sport. We firmly believe that by combining education and boxing, we can empower our students to reach their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.
My approach
At Impact Boxing we are guided by a set of core values that align with the principles of England Boxing. These values include integrity, excellence, respect, inclusivity, discipline, teamwork, sportsmanship, and safety. By instilling these values in our students, we aim to create a supportive and nurturing environment where they can thrive both academically and personally. One of our signature programs is Project 12, a comprehensive 12-week program that takes place both in and out of the gym. This unique initiative combines boxing training with military-style life skills, providing our students with a holistic approach to learning and personal development. Through Project 12, we aim to equip our students with the necessary tools and skills to navigate life's challenges and build a strong foundation for their future success. We strongly believe that happy and fulfilled children are more likely to succeed academically. Numerous studies have shown that when children are happy, they are more motivated to attend school, engage in learning, and ultimately sit their GCSE exams. At Impact Boxing Gym, we strive to create an environment where students feel a sense of belonging and have something to look forward to. By fostering a strong sense of team spirit and providing exciting opportunities through boxing, we aim to make education enjoyable for our students and help them rediscover their love for learning.
Education
Science We believe in the power of experiential learning, and that includes teaching science through a hands-on approach that incorporates the study of muscles and the human body. By integrating the study of muscles into our curriculum, we provide students with a unique opportunity to explore scientific concepts in a practical and engaging way. Through activities such as analyzing muscle movements during boxing exercises, and understanding the impact of exercise on muscle growth, our students develop a deep understanding of the intricate workings of the human body. This interdisciplinary approach not only enhances their scientific knowledge but also fosters a greater appreciation for the importance of physical health and well-being. |
English Teaching English in an alternate way can be an exciting way to engage students and enhance their language learning experience. One effective approach is to incorporate writing warm-up routines. These activities provide students with the opportunity to practice their English writing skills while starting the class off on a positive note. By using creative prompts such as captioning images, students can improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking abilities. These interactive warm-up activities not only make learning English enjoyable but also foster a dynamic classroom environment that encourages active participation and language development. |
Maths and Money Management Teaching maths and money management in an alternate way can be effectively done in a boxing gym setting, offering a unique and engaging approach for students. By incorporating practical examples and real-life scenarios, students can learn mathematical concepts and money management skills in a hands-on and relatable manner. For instance, trainers will integrate fitness-related calculations into the training sessions, such as calculating the number of calories burned or tracking progress using graphs and charts. Additionally, students can be taught about budgeting and financial planning by incorporating boxing-related expenses, such as equipment costs and competition fees. By combining physical activity with mathematical concepts, students not only develop their mathematical skills but also gain a practical understanding of money management, fostering a well-rounded and practical approach to learning. |
Overview In addition to the core subjects of maths, science, English, and physical education, these students are also learning invaluable life skills that will benefit them beyond the classroom. By participating in a variety of activities, such as team sports, group projects, and interactive discussions, students develop important skills like communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. These skills are essential for their personal and professional growth, enabling them to navigate challenges, work effectively in teams, and adapt to changing circumstances. Moreover, through physical education, students learn the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, cultivating discipline, and setting goals. By combining academics with practical life skills, these students are equipped with a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in all aspects of their lives. |
In recent years, alternate learning approaches have gained significant popularity as educators and parents recognize that traditional classroom settings may not be suitable for every child's learning style.
At Impact Boxing Gym, we understand that putting pen to paper in a classroom environment is not always the most effective way for children to learn. That's why we have embraced innovative teaching methods that prioritize individualized learning and create an environment where students can thrive without unnecessary stress. By offering a unique blend of academic instruction and boxing training, we have witnessed remarkable results in our students. Our approach acknowledges that children have different strengths and interests, and we strive to tap into those strengths to enhance their learning experience.
For some students, physical activity can be just as important as academic lessons in promoting engagement and retention. Through boxing, our students not only develop physical fitness but also learn valuable life skills such as discipline, teamwork, and resilience. At Impact, we create a supportive and nurturing environment where students can explore their passions and develop their talents. By integrating boxing into the learning process, we provide an alternative avenue for students to express themselves, build confidence, and overcome challenges. This non-traditional approach helps reduce stress and anxiety and allows students to focus on their academic growth without feeling overwhelmed. The results we have seen at Impact speak for themselves. By removing the barriers of a traditional classroom and embracing alternate learning methods, our students have achieved remarkable academic progress and personal growth. They not only excel academically but also develop a love for learning and a renewed passion for education. Our approach demonstrates that education doesn't have to be confined to a specific setting; it can take place in a variety of environments that cater to each child's unique needs and interests. At Impact Boxing Gym, we are proud to be at the forefront of the alternate learning movement. We believe that by providing a stress-free and supportive environment, we can unlock the full potential of every student and empower them to succeed academically and personally.
Join us and experience the transformative power of alternate learning firsthand.

OUR CORE VALUES

Upholding integrity in everyday life means being honest, trustworthy, and having strong moral principles. It involves acting with integrity in personal relationships, professional endeavors, and making ethical decisions even when no one is watching.
EXCELLENCE
England Boxing strives for excellence in all aspects of the sport, from athlete development to coaching standards and event organization. Striving for excellence in everyday life means pursuing personal growth, continuous learning, and setting high standards for oneself. It involves striving for improvement in various aspects of life, whether it be in work, relationships, or personal development.
RESPECT
Respect for opponents, coaches, officials, and the sport itself is a fundamental value in England Boxing. Showing respect in everyday life means treating others with dignity, valuing their opinions, and considering their feelings. It involves demonstrating respect for diverse perspectives, cultures, and beliefs, fostering positive relationships, and practicing empathy towards others.
DISCIPLINE
England Boxing emphasizes discipline, self-control, and adherence to rules and regulations to maintain a safe and competitive environment. Applying discipline in everyday life involves setting goals, creating routines, and staying committed to personal and professional endeavors. It means being organized, managing time effectively, and persevering through challenges to achieve desired outcomes.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Displaying good sportsmanship is highly valued in England Boxing, encouraging athletes to compete with respect and dignity towards their opponents. Practicing sportsmanship in everyday life means treating others with fairness, grace, and humility. It involves celebrating others' successes, supporting their efforts, and handling disagreements or conflicts with respect and dignity.
INCLUSIVITY
England Boxing promotes inclusivity, ensuring that individuals from all backgrounds and abilities have the opportunity to participate and excel in the sport. Embracing inclusivity in everyday life means valuing diversity, promoting equality, and creating an environment where everyone feels included and valued. It involves being open-minded, challenging biases, and actively seeking to understand and appreciate different perspectives and experiences.
TEAMWORK
England Boxing recognizes the importance of teamwork and collaboration, fostering a supportive community where athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers work together towards common goals. Practicing teamwork in everyday life involves collaborating with others, communicating effectively, and working towards common goals. It involves being a supportive team member, listening to others' ideas, and contributing positively to group dynamics in various settings, such as work, family, or community.
SAFETY
The safety and well-being of participants are paramount in England Boxing. The organization prioritizes effective health and safety measures to minimize the risk of injuries in training and competition. Prioritizing safety in everyday life means taking precautions to protect oneself and others from harm. It involves practicing safe behaviors, following guidelines and regulations, and being aware of potential risks in different situations, such as at home, on the road, or in public spaces.
Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure the safety and well-being of students participating in the boxing program offered by Impact Boxing Gym for schools. It aims to provide clear guidelines, procedures, and safety measures to protect the children involved, promote inclusivity, and recognize their achievements.
The boxing program is open to students aged 11-16 years old. We believe that this age range is suitable for introducing boxing as a sport and promoting physical fitness and discipline.
The program will run for a 12-week period, aligning with the school term. This duration allows for a comprehensive training experience and facilitates the development of boxing skills and techniques. Students are expected to attend regularly and be punctual to maximize the benefits of the program. Attendance and Participation:
Regular attendance is crucial for the progress and development of the students. In case of repeated lateness or non-attendance, there will be a three-strike policy. If a student accumulates three strikes, their place in the program will be offered to someone on the waitlist. This policy ensures fairness and allows for effective utilization of program resources.
Program Schedule: The boxing program will be conducted during term time and school hours only. We understand the importance of balancing academic and extracurricular activities and have designed the program to fit within the school schedule. The program can be organized as an extracurricular activity or integrated into the physical education curriculum, depending on the school's preference and available resources.
Inclusivity: The program is open to both boys and girls, promoting gender equality and inclusivity. We believe that boxing is a sport that can benefit individuals of all genders, fostering confidence, discipline, and physical fitness. Our instructors are trained to create an inclusive and respectful environment, ensuring that all students feel comfortable and supported.
Safety Measures: 1. Protective Gear: Students will be required to wear appropriate protective gear during sparring sessions to minimize the risk of injury. This includes headgear, mouthguards, gloves, and groin protectors. We prioritize the safety of our students and provide high-quality protective equipment.
2. Gradual Progression: Students will not engage in sparring until they have completed an 8-week training program. This progressive approach ensures that students have acquired the necessary skills, techniques, and fitness levels before engaging in controlled sparring sessions. It also allows instructors to assess each student's readiness for sparring.
3. Qualified Instructors: Our instructors hold an England Boxing coaching qualification, demonstrating their expertise in boxing training and safety. They are experienced in working with students of different skill levels and are trained to provide guidance, supervision, and support throughout the program. Assessment and Certification: After each 4-week period, students will undergo assessment to evaluate their progress and development in the program. The assessments will cover various aspects of boxing skills, technique, fitness, and discipline. Students who demonstrate satisfactory progress and active participation will be awarded certificates. This recognition not only motivates students to set goals and work towards them but also acknowledges their dedication and achievements.
