Bayanihan Boxing is a program with a holistic method to the sweet science. We welcome participants of all levels, from beginners to competitors. In this program, participants will learn the fundamentals of footwork, defense and offense. They will develop in every aspect of boxing, including the application of life principles through this sport and martial art. With elements of community-building, mitt work and conditioning, they will develop further by teaching others what they are learning. In this program, we emphasize our holistic well-being during these times. Our program is a great way to strengthen one's presence of mind, management of anxiety, and self-defense skills. We will awaken and sharpen our creativity, listening, observation, responsiveness, emotional awareness, speed, quickness, stamina, endurance & power.
The Tagalog word “bayanihan” (bah-yah-nee-hahn) can be translated to “communal spirit”. It is the collective effort of a people to achieve a greater goal or purpose. It is a culture of solidarity – a harvest of heroic acts – a spirit of collective action.
“Bayanihan” is a portmanteau of these words:
“bayan” meaning “people” or “nation”
“bayani” meaning “hero” or “a person for the people”
“ani” meaning "crop" or “harvest”
“anihan” meaning “harvest season” or “an occurrence of harvesting”
