Rankin Inlet Boxing Club is bringing Olympic-style boxing to athletes in the north. Coach Abdallah (Inst Beg Certified) has been running the program while working as a lawyer in the community on the shores of Hudson Bay.

 

Athletes train a few days per week in the local community centre, practicing technique, working on fitness, and benefitting from the confidence that comes from practicing our sport.

 

There are certainly challenges with training in small communities. Few athletes make matching up partners difficult. But with a focus on skill development and fitness rather than competition the Club is focused on meaningful participation rather than bouts.

 

Thanks to all our athletes, northerners and southerners alike, for their dedication to safety, integrity, and participation!
