The thing that made the trip special was that all the young people came from different social backgrounds and that many of them had never been to a football match before. This was also a unique experience for staff and volunteers at Dragon Hall; it was extremely ambitious to take out three different groups, totalling 25 young people.

It was clear that everyone really enjoyed the experience and we had positive feedback from the young people. This is certainly something that we would do again following the success of the trip.

Come to our professional pantomime, Aladdin! Wednesday 8th December. Doors open 6:30pm. Panto starts at 7pm and goes on to 9pm. Juice and mince pies in the interval. There will be a raffle with prizes.

Tickets are on sale from Dragon Hall and St Joseph’s School – first come first served!!

with former WBO champion Jason ‘the method man’ Matthews!

Every Friday from 8pm to 10pm at Dragon Hall.

What is non contact boxing?
The first impression people have with this sport is they will have to get in the ring and hit people. In reality, that is not true. Some people, when they take up the sport, are indeed training to be boxers. However, there are a growing number of new people who are taking up the sport for the health related benefits. So, we need to get one thing perfectly clear. We are not going to EVER have to hit another person when we start our boxing training. And you NEVER get hit by another person. People will often ask you when you tell them you are starting to take boxing training, “Doesn’t it hurt when you get hit?” or “How do you protect yourself from being hurt?” You would tell them that you have no idea because you will never get hit by another person. Remember, you are taking boxing training for the physical and mental benefits they provide.

Who is the Trainer? Jason ‘Method man’ Matthews turned pro in 1995 and won the former WBO intercontinental Champion, Former Commonwealth champion and WBO middleweight title on June 17, 1999 with a victory against Ryan Rhodes.
Jason is now working as a street warden for Camden Council.

When and where? The training will be taking place at Dragon hall in the main hall from 8pm – 10pm every Friday.
Other Information: During these sessions there will be youth workers on site at all times.

‘We had our first session on Friday 26th February. This was well attended with a mixture of young people drawn from across Camden. Jason put the group through its paces, giving the participants new skills knowledge and understanding. The group is excited about the next stage and cannot wait to attend next week.’
