Boxing Spirit IPSS, Portugal

The ANTONIO RAMALHO BOXING SPIRIT ASSOCIATION (ARBSA) is a non-profit NGO with over 20 years of history dedicated to working with children and youngsters early on and helping them to create life habits with a strong connection to sport and boxing in particular.
We aim to instil personal, social and ethical values in our athletes by contributing to fight and prevent violence in sport, racism, xenophobia and social discrimination, making them grow as people and as citizens.
Our project provides after school study support to better meet the needs of children and youth accompanied by teachers and counsellors who provide pedagogical support. After study time everybody participates in boxing training. It operates at a local community level working with over 30 kids on a daily basis.

At our a Study Support Center we believe in the old concept of “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano”, it is through Boxing that we help our students grow and overcome their own limits, opening their perspectives to new possibilities in life.
