Boxing
Builds strength and resilience through dynamic, focused training.
Our Sports
Sport that builds focus and confidence.
Sport is at the heart of the FDSA day. Martial arts, swimming and weight training give every student a place to succeed, and the focus and discipline he builds there carries across into his schoolwork.
01
Martial arts
Students train in boxing, judo and karate.
Judo
Develops discipline and agility as students learn throws, grappling and self-control.
Karate
Cultivates focus, confidence and self-defence skills.
Focus and discipline
The demands of martial arts carry over into better study habits and behaviour.
A healthy outlet
Training gives students a constructive way to manage stress and strong emotions.
Self-esteem and friendship
Progress in the dojo builds confidence, and training together builds teamwork and communication.
02
Swimming
Swimming can be especially valuable for students with ADHD, autism or behavioural challenges.
Calm and focus
Swimming offers a calming outlet that helps with emotional control and concentration.
Confidence and routine
Reaching swim milestones builds confidence, discipline and good organisational habits.
Better sleep
Regular swimming improves sleep, which in turn supports focus and learning.
Friendships
Structured swim sessions give students a comfortable setting to build social skills and teamwork.
Positive role models
Working with coaches shows students positive attitudes and behaviour.
03
Weight training
Weight training is always supervised. Students start with light weights and learn proper technique before gradually increasing the load.
Strength and fitness
Builds muscular strength and a healthier body composition, and improves performance in every sport.
Posture and injury prevention
Strengthens the muscles and joints that support good posture and protect against injury.
Self-confidence
Seeing their own progress in strength boosts students’ self-esteem.
Mental health
Training helps reduce stress, anxiety and low mood.
Respect, mental toughness, and the true meaning of what friendship and brotherhood is.
