Boxing • Strength • Nutrition • Character • Leadership
A youth fitness and character-development program for students in 6th through 12th grade, starting Tuesday, November 3.
Led by Ibn Ali, former professional cruiser weight boxer and nephew of Muhammad Ali, the program combines non-contact boxing, strength training, conditioning, nutrition education, leadership, and personal-development principles. The goal is to build more than athletes: students become stronger physically, sharper mentally, healthier in their choices, confident, respectful, and intentional about their future.
