About Griffins Boxing & Fitness
In 2004, Griffins Boxing and Fitness opened its doors, and became a true boxing club for the community with over 900 members and counting.
Dave developed the Glove System as a goal setting system which is the first of its kind in Boxing.
The System shines a new light onto an Olympic sport, and shows that boxing can be taught in a step-wise process, using non-contact techniques.
The Glove System has helped the community by getting Youth off the street, aiding in goal setting, confidence building and a general increase in fitness.
For adults the same, fitness and skills have reached for a whole new level, and the “Glove System” is the tool that is being used to achieve this.
This is huge in boxing, and huge in our community, and Griffins Boxing and Fitness is the frontier of this developmental change.
Dave Brett and the entire Griffins team are excited to accept this award.
