Summer Boxing camp

I am a qualified British boxing awards coach and have been involved with boxing for over 25 years. I am an amateur middleweight boxer and triathlon athlete and have enjoyed taking part in many sporting events to raise funds for charity. I have been a PE teacher for 15 years and currently work at Michael Hall School. I have an interest in bringing Bothmer principles to physical education for children from 7 to 18 years. Within an educational setting, Bothmer Movement applies the understanding of child development to a curriculum that meets the child where he/she is, introducing competition and increasingly complex physical skills through games, gymnastics and sport. But the exercises are as beneficial for adults of any age and background as for children. For example, the five 'Greek gymnastic exercises', (running, jumping, wrestling, discus and javelin) are an integral part of speech and drama trainings, supporting students' awareness of their body in space as well as their preparation and delivery of text as speech. They are also recognised for their therapeutic value in physiotherapy, occupational therapy and so on.
