HKYWCA Career and Life Adventure Planning Service Team organised a seminar named “FIGHT FOR FUTURE‧NEXT” to encourage teenagers to turn their serious leisure into career.
Raymond Poon, a professional boxer, who won the World Boxing Council Asian Boxing Council light flyweight continental and Asian Boxing Federation titles in July, and Jason Wong, an amateur boxer talked about their experiences and encouraged young people to chase their dreams. Both boxers agreed that planning is important in pursuing a career. If one would like to turn a hobby into career, one should first identify his/her own talents and values, get firsthand experience and gather opinions from current practitioners before taking action. They also pointed out that supportive parents is critical in the endless dream chasing process, so it is good to let them know one's plan and ease their worries.
Apart from the sharing session, Raymond, Jason together with another professional boxer Lennon Tsoi, coached the audiences in basic footwork, jab and hook. The participants liked the workshop and knew more about the sport.
The Association’s CLAP Team and DEF Boxing Gym will co-organise boxing trial classes on every Sunday afternoon in coming September. Interested parties aged 15 to 21 may contact Ms. Lau or Mr. Wong at 2559 6310 or 5547 5004 for more details.
