Inspiring students to be accountable
In weekly sessions, our boxing mentors inspire students to be the best versions of themselves. We celebrate each student’s successes and work through their disappointments. Students will be supported at every level, but they are ultimately accountable for their own journey.
Providing Students With Resilience, Self-Respect & Responsibility
In weekly sessions, our boxing mentors inspire students to be the best versions of themselves. We celebrate each student’s successes and work together through their disappointments. Every Student will be supported at all stages of the programme, but they are ultimately accountable for their own journey. A typical KO Interventions session consists of ‘three rounds’:
• Boxing Skills
• Assertive Mentoring
• Life Skill Discussions
Weekly incentives are used to promote healthy competition against the students’ toughest opponents: themselves. Low self-esteem, lack of confidence, social isolation, family concerns, and other barriers of negativity are their fiercest competitor. In every session, in every school, our boxing programme is designed to support students in order to face these challenges head-on with a pair of boxing gloves, a positive mindset, and an unbreakable will.
Start A Partnership
With A Winning Team
KO Interventions is a team made up of pastoral leaders, physical trainers, and academic mentors. Our lead mentor is Ekow ‘The Engine’ Essuman, the British & Commonwealth Welterweight Champion. For the past 5 years, Ekow has been working consistently in primary and secondary schools, supporting students through specifically designed boxing intervention programmes.
His charismatic mentoring has proven that boxing has a real impact in an educational setting, demanding focus, resilience, and respect. Each of our mentors has the experience to support students through physical and mental challenges, helping them to grow and learn the life skills necessary to improve behaviour in the classroom, and ultimately elevate their academic achievements.
We have the experience, the energy, the drive, and the programme to help students step into the ring of success. Through participation in our programme, we’ve seen sustained progress in attendance, punctuality, attainment, and most importantly, relationships and personal achievement. Every student who commits to the sessions shows progress across school engagement for learning.
