The London Boxing Academy (LBA) was established in 2000 and
delivers quality boxing tuition and coaching via LBA courses and
programs.
The LBA works in partnership with organisations
such as Community Action Sport, Haringey Mencap, Haringey Recreation
Service, Haringey Youth Service, Haringey Youth Offending Service,
Haringey Youth Inclusion Program, Haringey Pupil Support Centre and
Haringey Police, Enfield Education Dept, and many North London
schools.
We also work with community centres and estate
management committees.
The ethos of the LBA is to
instil in our clients the discipline, responsibility and good
decision making that is vital in order to harness talent, aggression
and energy, thus enhancing the positive impact our clients have on
their community. The LBA introduces the idea of target setting and
goal attainment that is so important to breaking a negative cycle of
behaviour.
Just the physical activity on its own is a vital
first step to boosting self esteem in a peer group where shared
goals are achieved. Our clients experience positive behaviour and
life-affirming levels of respect from their peer group, from their
role models, their friends, their community and perhaps most
importantly, from themselves.

The LBA takes a holistic approach to identifying, confronting and removing all negative aspects of a young person's environment which may adversely affect and hinder their development.
With these new skills and positive behaviours, our learners are far better equipped to find fulfilling and sustained employment within their communities and to help enhance the lives of those around them.
It has become clear to the LBA and our partners that the special environment of an LBA course is perfectly adapted for this purpose. There are many mentors and role models in the coaching team and senior boxers of the LBA. The physical environment of the LBA provides a positive challenge for our learners that tests their abilities and promotes self awareness and development.
