The idea of Double Jab is to get kids off the streets and out of gangs. Their motto is "Jab, Don't Stab". How often does one see stories of kids stabbing each other and wish more was being done? David John, who runs the club, is doing something and I fully support him.

Of course boxing, especially professional boxing, is a violent sport, and of course that's part of its attraction for boys. But Double Jab is very well run and is a very safe place. Most of the members train but don't actually fight, although of those who do fight we have a few who are really good. It's a very friendly place and is not only popular with the kids but with the local residents. They need bigger premises and we will be very sorry when they eventually go.

The day was extremely successful. 170 people took part, mostly kids. Here are a few pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31016165@N00/
