The B.E A Warrior foundation is the charitable arm of Boxing Evolution aimed at providing its services predominantly to teenage males who are at risk of exclusion or offending, or those that have already offended,  but will work with anyone that we think can benefit from it. 

The reason for working predominantly with teenage males is that there is currently a large proportion of young men growing up who have little or no contact with positive male role models. This is one of the major contributing factors behind the current epidemic of knife crime in the U.K at the moment.

Research has shown that young men growing up without the guidance of positive male role models are much more likely to end up being involved with crime, taking drugs, suffer from problems such as emotional dysregulation and mental health issues such as depression and are more likely to commit suicide. They are also generally far less successful in their careers and family life.

It is incredibly important for young men growing up to have positive male role models who can guide them through all the obstacles that becoming a man entails so they can develop into physically, mentally and emotionally healthy and successful adults.

Boxing Evolution is focused ON developing emotional intelligence (E.Q) through the sport of boxing. Recent research has shown that E.Q is one of the biggest determining factors of success so therefore is extremely important for a young person to develop.

The main aim of the B.E A Warrior foundation is to develop young people socially and emotionally with a strong emphasis on building and maintaining physical and mental health.  A core focus for this will be on building resilience and developing a warrior mindset.

There may be times or situations in our lives that are more difficult than others. The capacity to stay mentally well during those times is what we call ‘resilience’. 

Resilience is not simply a person’s ability to ‘bounce back’, but their capacity to adapt in the face of challenging circumstances, whilst maintaining a stable mental well being.

Resilience is something that can be taught and learned, and the elements that build resilience can be introduced into everyday life.

Resilience is at the very core of maintaining mental and emotional health, and provides the very foundation that is needed in order to live a happy, fulfilled and successful life.

The foundation will focus on:

• Physical health and fitness
• Increasing self confidence
• Improving self discipline 
• Improving emotional regulation
• Developing self worth
• Forming healthy personal boundaries
• Developing social skills
• Staying safe and self defense
• Healthy eating
• Drug awareness
• Entrepreneurship

The aim of the foundation is to raise funding that can then be used to provide the services listed below for those that most need it on a full time basis.

Funding will be allocated to provide:

• Mentors 
• One to one boxing, fitness and nutrition coaching
• Boxing and fitness classes
• Workshops
• Parental advice and training
• Equipment for taking part in boxing and fitness training

The foundation is still in the early stages so we are not yet able to take referrals. This section will be updated soon.
