Father Dave's Top Ten Reasons for teaching young people to box in order to make them LESS violent

Rev. David B. Smith - Parish priest & professional fighter - extolls the virtues of boxing and male aggression in his new book.

(PRWEB) May 28, 2004 -- Top 10 reasons for teaching young people to box:

1. When young people are in a disciplined training routine they have no time to cause trouble.

2. Even when they have the time, they are too tired to cause trouble after a solid night's training

10. When a young person joins a gym they join a new peer group of persons not involved in drugs or criminal activities.

'Fighting' Father Dave is Sydney's boxing priest. He is the Anglican parish priest of the inner-western suburb of Dulwich Hill. He is also a sixth degree martial arts black belt, and is still the only Australian in holy orders to have boxed professionally.

Father Dave has been working with young people from the underside of the Australian community for the last 14 years, and he believes that teaching young men to fight is the key to turning them into responsible adults.

He wrote a book about it - 'Sex, the Ring & the Eucharist' - now available in paperback worldwide.
