Youth Boxing, ACT Therapy.

MMPowerment is a Youth Organization based in the Geelong Community, that encourages young people to build confidence and strength through Boxing, whilst providing clinical core values in Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Sessions include a full body workout using Boxing or Muay Thai techniques. This will be combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Grounding, breathing and stabilization strategies will be hidden inside the workout. With intensive work the goal would be to develop a strong safety plan for regulating emotions. Including strategies to become emotionally intelligent, such as how to deal with unhelpful thoughts and feelings, body awareness and how to articulate emotions.

Learning Muay Thai and Boxing skills from a professional and having a chat about challenges, can help deal with overwhelming struggles. Sometimes we can feel stuck and hopeless, almost like we are backed into a corner.

MMPowerment can be a different way to learn how to face life’s struggles and be a powerful outlet for those big emotions that we all carry throughout our life. 

The thing is, when we suppress or try to get rid of these emotions, they come back stronger. At MMPowerment we believe that there is something special about exerting energy in the form of Boxing, as well as talking about different strategies to overcome our emotions!
