Boxing - boxing bags used as therapy of elem.school children
Trying to find out the disadvantages of using a boxing bag to help relieve tension with-in school(elem). children. I have seen that many of our children are very angry and thought that a boxing bag would be a good thing to help relieve some of their frustrations out on something other that another person. i have found many positive things but need further information and assistance, if I am able to pull this program together. Thank you, Judy
Answer Judy, the age of the child is critical. I do not even train any kids under the age of nine, but if their hands are not wrapped correctly and they do not use proper gloves they may sustain injuries without proper instruction, with proper instruction and proper equipment it can be a stress reliever and a form of discipline as it is with my fighters that I have trained.
