Overview:
The Boxing Club will be established for one reason, which is to have a positive impact on the lives of the youth on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. Using the vehicle of organized Amateur Boxing, the WMABC aims to instill discipline, self-esteem, improved citizenship, social skills, and health consciousness in the minds and hearts of our valuable youth. More than anything else, we strive to channel their energy and need for social recognition in positive and healthy directions.
Why use boxing as a prevention and intervention program? We believe that human beings have a fundamental need for positive recognition. All too often, a young person attempts to satisfy this need through unhealthy behaviors, negative associations, and juvenile delinquency. Amateur boxing provides a young person with an outlet - the opportunity to satisfy this basic need in a positive manner. When properly coached and supervised, amateur boxing can be an extremely fulfilling and beneficial experience for our youth, enhancing their sportsmanship, physical and mental conditioning, self-confidence and character.
Our Mission:
To provide a safe, structured environment to promote discipline, goal-setting and good health for youth that are involved with the program. To encourage parental commitment to support the ongoing development of youth-oriented alternatives to drug and alcohol.

Who I'd like to meet: We would like to meet people who will respect the gym, people and the art of boxing. we would also like to meet people who are willing to work hard and not complain!!!
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
