At Artful Dodgers Boxing Academy, we believe in giving young people a positive outlet — one that builds discipline, confidence, and respect. Our Gloves Not Blades campaign encourages the community to swap violence for strength, replacing knife crime with courage, teamwork, and personal growth. Join us in creating safer streets and stronger futures through the power of boxing.
Every life lost to knife crime is one too many. Across the UK, over 45,000 knife-related offences were recorded last year — and young people aged 15–24 remain the most at risk. At Artful Dodgers Boxing Academy, we’re fighting back — not with weapons, but with discipline, respect, and community spirit.
Our Gloves Not Blades campaign gives young people a safe space to grow stronger, develop fitness, and find purpose through boxing. By swapping blades for gloves, we’re not just building better athletes — we’re building better futures.
