My boring opinionated middle class self will probably show here but the words 'Lewisham Peoples Day' and 'Punchathon' are to many Lewisham folk one and same. Personally I think boxing should go the same way as fox hunting and horse racing (equally moronic; as is the useless concept of dressage but at least no blood is spilt) and should most definitely not be taught to kids.
Why not teach and promote the genuine martial arts instead which have considerable history and skill in their favour?
