Boxing is popular and its great fitness but removing the intent to harm creates a safer more community centred sport.


Medical: 10 Deaths a year Legal, criminal assault Social, glorification and rewarding violence Ethical, intent to harm

To make boxing safer, removing the head and neck danger but still keeping it interesting!


New area of focus

  • Vest systems with sensors embedded in it

  • Strong focus on safety Like to feel like belonging to a community treated or identified as athletes

  • Having fun while improving fitness and skill

  • Performance rather then competitiveness

Provide opportunities for experience and exercise

Provide more welcoming environments

Meeting the needs from all the people

  • Must be purposeful

  • Sounds from impact, constant feedback

  • Sounds like batman or music toothbrushes

  • App for coaching children, contacts, training diaries, videos embedded , track record Gloves can be further enhanced by furthering the realism towards normal boxing gloves

  • The vests needs to be safer

  • Webbing that suspends backpack but instead for the vest
