Adaptive Boxing

Adaptive Boxing Corporation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose core mission is to provide individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities the opportunity to engage in competitive and recreational athletic activities through modified equipment and adapted rules.

The primary objective of Adaptive Sports is to offer individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities the opportunity to participate in competitive or recreational activities by utilizing modified equipment and rules.

Adaptive Sports are designed to foster inclusion, enhance health, and encourage social engagement among people with disabilities.

We believe that sport is transformative. Our mission is to provide every veteran and person with a disability — regardless of age, injury, or ability level — the opportunity to engage in competitive and recreational athletic activities through modified equipment, adapted rules, and an unwavering community of support.

These adaptive sports represent a well-rounded continuum of adaptive athletic engagement that addresses the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of recovery and wellness. Furthermore, the inclusive nature of adaptive sports promotes social interaction, builds friendships, and creates a sense of belonging among athletes, ultimately aiding in their holistic recovery journey and improving their quality of life.

“There is nothing like the power of sport. Sport makes us more — physically, mentally, and socially. Yet today, too many veterans and individuals with disabilities have limited opportunities to participate. We are here to change that.”

The organization is seeking to formalize and expand their programming through a partnership with Move United, offering structured sports training in boxing, martial arts, archery, snow skiing, and innovative drone workshops.

“Never leave a fellow Service member behind, nor forget them after the fight.”
