Unorthobox promotes community cohesion by bringing together people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to improve their overall health and wellbeing. Unorthobox have been running mixed ability boxing sessions for over four years. We are the only Mixed Ability boxing provider in the U.K. and target our provision at people who are least likely to be engaged in sport. We are at the forefront of the growing Mixed Ability movement, challenging barriers to participation across a range of groups. Our sessions are fully inclusive. Qualified boxing Coaches and Tutors (male and female), including successful amateur boxers and ex professional boxers, deliver the non-contact sessions. The content of the training is the same as in a general boxing gym, with the exception of sparring (due to current regulations). In our sessions we have participants from all backgrounds with learning disabilities, visual and hearing impairments, crohns disease, autism, mental health issues, cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, endometriosis, and cancer survivors alongside non-disabled boxers. As a direct result of our work our participants have experienced various health and wellbeing improvements such as weight loss, improved mental health, reduced medication, increased mobility, improved social interaction and increased overall fitness. We also provide training to other boxing coaches on how to make their sessions more inclusive with the support of England Boxing. Unorthobox are constantly striving to expand in order to promote mixed ability boxing throughout the UK and beyond.
