Collaborate for mental health

“In boxing, repetitive movements, such as punching punching bags, help a lot in reducing stress and promote a sense of well-being that lasts for hours after practice. In addition, the combat promoted by the fight helps to vent anger and anguish, helping to calm the mind after training”, comments Alexandre.

By relieving physical and emotional tension and collaborating to release hormones that provide pleasure, the practice is a great ally for increasing people’s self-esteem.
