Boxing.
Story time. When my gpops, now 81 and on no meds whatsoever, was a young lad he was a boxer, like his father.

Well I don't really see youth boxing around. The way I figure, if those that were so inclined to participate in such a barbaric(lol) sport, it would be a good outlet for them. Kids that would otherwise be beating the shit out of other kids who can't defend themselves, would not be allowed to exhibit any such behavior except for in the ring, via strict punishments, being taken out of the program, maybe kicked outta school, whatever.

Nowadays, youths are babied way too much. Sure, they get a slap on the wrist, and alot of em. but it doesnt bother them. Doesnt seem to anyhow. I think it should be ingrained in them from a younger age to be responsible and a member of society. I just think boxing would be a good outlet for some kids, not all of course.

There's a youth boxing program run specifically for the young indigenous males here in town.

It's odd to note that all the young guys that go either have jobs and/or go to school.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Martial arts is great for kids, builds discipline.  I was in a program for years, and I'm glad I was.

No. Sorry.

It would just lead from two gang bangers fighting in the ring to somebody getting shot or stabbed later on. Also good luck trying to find the money to fund a program like that.

Boxing is all about individual focus.. it's more of a lifestyle change than most sports. You've got to be really devoted.. really.

This...
..and yes, I have been a member of a boxing club here in copenhagen that had the same agenda, pulling off youngsters from hanging on the streets into sports. Many of them had criminal record, and many of those did slowly leave that old life style. They were just kids that did not know better.
It is a combination of social and sports activities, and typically a club like that needs a mentor for those kids beside the coach, one that has gone through what they are going through.

Am all for it
