At her Dartmouth, N.S., boxing club, coach Bridget Stevens shares the lessons she grew up with on the Eskasoni First Nation.
It s more important to her that fighters learn how to be good people and support each other than it is for them to win every match. What I m doing here is what our community members do to help one another, said Stevens, who owns Tribal Boxing Club on Windmill Road.
It s why even in the middle of a pandemic, she s offering free classes for youth who can t afford to pay. She wants boxing to be a refuge for those who need it, like it has been for her.
