Petition Reintroduce Boxing into Physical Education as part of the National Curriculum.

Gloves Up Knives Down is the most high profile and leading initiative to meaningfully tackle knife crime in the UK. We are passionate about the re-introduction of Boxing into the National Curriculum. GUKD's guiding principle is Preventative Intervention.

More details

As highlighted in a paper written exclusively for Gloves Up Knives Down by UN professor of Child Psychology Joana Costa; Preventative Intervention highlights Boxing as a driver of change for young people at school, providing them with a positive framework of discipline, respect and a sense of self worth - which we believe set the foundations necessary for becoming a responsible citizen.

We challenge the Government to join us.
