Taking the first step towards
encouraging boxing as a serious sport
in the country, Lift Bahrain also held an
event in March, which consisted of two
teams, with 8 boxers each – including the
two scholars and women – to compete
for a charity event. The ‘White Collar
Boxing Event’ consisted of boxers who
had, prior to the event, never been in
a semi-professional or amateur boxing
environment. They were trained rigorously
for 12 weeks and included boxers from
South Africa, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,
Iran, UK, and of course Bahrain. The hugely
successful event proved Tariq’s belief of
118
Perle
APRIL - MAY 2017
Bahrain having the capabilities and psyche
for Boxing to be a sport the country could
excel in.
“Coaching has really given me a lot of
value, kind of intrinsically. I love conveying
my education and experience in the sport
to people, especially to young people who
share my passion, in a fun way for them to
get fit, release stress, and learn a martial
art”, Tariq says and adds that he is proud
to have seen the progress of their boxers
and hopes the interest in boxing continues.
Whether for boxing as a sport or a different
means of getting fit, or achieving the fitness
goals at the hands of experts in a state-of-
the-art facility, Lift Bahrain offers everyone
something they can easily become a part of
and can incorporate into their routines.
