Boxing - a way life

Boxing - a way life

Boxing is a symbolic way how you position yourself in life. We'll learn the techniques needed and will also pay attention to what's needed to become a mindful warrior. We'll dedicate 30 min in total to check in (15 before, 15 after) and 1 hour to boxing. Be on time! We start 19:00 sharp, come before that. Strength is created and felt by meeting resistance. Resistance, is a right and healthy way to support your warrior archetype.

The Spirit of Pamoja – One-Day Event at the Historic Fort

Men today live too much in their heads, knowing theories, reading books, but rarely experiencing real life directly. Full of emotions that stay bottled up, joy and anger alike, waiting for expression.

The Spirit of Pamoja invites you to move beyond thinking into feeling, beyond talking into doing, and beyond guessing into knowing. Confidence comes from experiences, not theories.

In the beauty of a historic fort, we create a safe space to explore your full potential as a man. The journey revolves around four powerful pillars:

  • Peace: Calmness within, mentally and emotionally at ease.

  • Power: Physical strength and practical skills to truly make things happen.

  • Purpose: Clarity and direction about who you are and how you serve.

  • Play: Approaching life lightly, with humor and ease.

If you have power without peace, you endlessly chase distractions. Peace without power leaves you a dreamer without impact. With both combined, purpose naturally emerges, allowing you to give back from a place of authenticity and strength.

This day won't be about theory. We'll jump straight into action and reflect afterwards. Together we'll test ourselves like warriors, find stillness like monks, discover purpose like kings, and laugh freely like drunken masters.

Expect raw, real moments, challenging each other, laughing, confronting resistance, experiencing brotherhood. One unforgettable day in the wild beauty of the fort: good food, honest talk, real emotion, and the true spirit of being together > Pamoja.

Boxing (All levels)

Men today spend much of their time in motion, yet rarely in true movement. We push through work, thoughts, and responsibilities, but often forget the simple power of presence: to feel, to respond, to stand grounded.

Our bi-weekly boxing sessions are an invitation to reconnect with that grounded presence; to embody strength, awareness, and purpose through mindful practice. Boxing becomes more than a sport; it’s a mirror. The way you face resistance in the ring is often the way you face it in life.

Each session revolves around our four pillars:

Peace — The ability to stay calm, focused, and clear under pressure.
Power — Strength born not from aggression, but from awareness and intention.
Purpose — Understanding why you fight, what you’re standing for, and how you show up.
Play — The lightness that reminds us to enjoy the process, even in challenge.

We begin each evening with a short check-in, a moment to arrive, breathe, and leave the day behind. Then we train for one hour, learning proper technique, footwork, and discipline. Afterwards, we close in reflection, grounding the physical in awareness. Often guided by Lucas and his Handpan

Strength is not just built through effort, but through meeting resistance.
Resistance, when faced with presence, awakens the mindful warrior within.

Be on time. We start at 19:00 sharp.
